Description
The short version for those who have a lot of profiles to scan:

I’m a full time children’s book illustrator now *traveling solo*, since my son is now in college after 8 years of ‘world schooling’ and my wonderful dog is home enjoying her retirement.

What I Offer:

Practical Skills:
Sustainable cook (not so much a baker!),
Upcycler, interior stylist/painter
English teacher
Great with animals, kids, creative collaboration & home help

Professional & Creative Skills:

Portrait and landscape artist – happy to gift a painting to hosts. You’re welcome to sell prints of my work to help your cause if you have one. I can set that up.
Branding, web design, social media, marketing & storytelling
Grant writing, community strategy, planning & project development
Writing (creative, copy, educational), home education/art/sustainability

The long version:

Hello! I’m Mischa – now traveling solo.
After several amazing years volunteering with my son since 2018, I’m now back in England where he’s started college, and I’m continuing my journey solo. It’s a big shift, but an exciting new chapter.

I’m a full-time, published children’s book illustrator working remotely, so I can bring my creativity wherever I go. I also paint portraits and landscapes, and love to leave a special piece behind as a thank-you gift for my hosts.

My beloved dog Ayda is now too old to travel, so she’s enjoying a slower pace of life at home with my son — and pet/house sitter when I’m away.

A Little Background:

Before working full-time in the arts, I ran a UK nonprofit focused on sustainability and social impact. I studied sustainability leadership with Cambridge University and I’ve spent over a decade combining creativity with purpose through teaching, marketing, and community work, and now continue that through children’s literature and illustration, especially around neurodiversity and inclusion.

What I’m Looking For:

I’m open to Workaway stays where I can contribute meaningfully with people since I’m mostly alone at home working now (it’s quiet!). I can travel anywhere, and can stay for up to a month before I’ll want to get home to my teenage son and dog. I can do a lot within a month since I realize people needs quickly, and adapt fast.

If you’re looking for someone capable, creative, and kind, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hosting Mischa and her son Christian was a really nice experience: their presence in our house was like a breath of fresh air! They are really lovely people: discrete, reliable and hard-working. We spent some high-quality time with them, having friendly chats, cooking and sharing meals, showing them around...moreover, they were both very helpful,… read more

Gosh, this took me some time to get around to, but I must! If you're considering visiting Antonella and her wonderful family, you will not be disappointed. Antonella, if she weren't a teacher, would be a natural born host; tour guidance included! She knows all the places and has all the enegry for them. On top, she is a wonderful wife and mother… read more

Mischa, or better; Mischa´s family stayed with us for 1 month. Mischa is a very energetic person, taking her work seriously, punctual, trustworthy. She provided me with peace and quiet so I could exactly get some work done. She is nice, friendly, sociable, easy to talk to, pleasant company. I am grateful for the experience. Her son got along with… read more

Richard was a total lifesaver for us. After a turbulent 10 days in Barcelona that resulted in that particular host being suspended, we knew we needed to call it a day and draw a line under it. We emailed Richard explaining the situation, and within the hour he replied, completely understanding the situation we were in and offered us an exit on the… read more

Where to begin. . . Mischa and Christian arrived 2 days before christmas for what was supposed to be 3-4 weeks, and they have just left 3 months later. It has been an absolute amazing experience, and time spent with these lovely 2 human beings, and of course Ayda the dog. Ayda is the best dog I have ever, ever come across. She is SO easy and sweet… read more

One of my dreams connected to workaway has always been to host a child travelling with his/her family. I thought this would remain a dream, since our apartment is not so big, and there are not many children travelling with their parents. But one day I got a message from Mischa, and she explained me she was travelling with her 10-years child,… read more

Nous avons accueilli Mischa, Christian et leur chien Ayda. Ceux sont des gens très agréables qui s'adaptent vite aux habitudes de la maison.
Nous avons passé de très bons moments d'échanges. Ils observent et disent les choses à faire (aide spontanée). Mischa cuisine très bien et Christian participe très volontiers. Sur les échanges linguistiques,… read more

What a privelage it was to meet this family. I so enjoyed cooking with Marie-Laure and chatting about life, using Google all the time to help us translate!! The boys are so polite and a credit to her, the home was immaculate and also warm with family values. The area was beautiful and we often took trips together, to watch basketball or swim or… read more

Misha is a very warm hearted, lovely women - it was a great pleasure having her, Cristhian and also aida (my italian and probably wrong version of their little cute and also polite dog!) here at our house.

She can feel the needs of everyone and they have been very gently and respectful with everybody.

Where to start! Rachel is a truly unique spirit; conscientious, patient, thoughtful, generous and kind to her core. She's helped me grow as a person and brought genuine value to our lives. Her ability to spin so many plates is unprecedented, I spent a lot of time racing to catch her up! Rachel is known by many, from all walks of life, and… read more

Mischa has been a miracle. She came for 10 days and stayed 2 months. She came to look after my dogs and land while I was away, and we found a mutually beneficial dance. She was very practical, useful and a good friend. Her son, Christian, was a delight to have around, as well as useful - he fed the chickens every morning without fail, he was… read more

This has taken me so long to remember to do, typical of me, but Alex... Where do I start. Alex was my first host and I couldn't have asked for better. He hosted me with my son and he was so accomodating, welcoming and kind to us both. We have become good friends since and I can't wait to visit again. He's a wonderful conversationalist, spiritual… read more

Mischa and Christian came recently for a quick weekend visit; charismatic, delightful team of amazing mother and son daring to break free from conventional living and societal expectations -- my kind of individualism exactly! It was greatly enjoyable all around for me to show them Oslo and the nearby outdoors, not to mention some priceless moments… read more
