Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I used to speak good French and Italian but have recently been learning Spanish and am finding that's taking up most of the language space in my brain right now! I have a bit of experience teaching English (my first language) but no formal qualification in this

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
In the UK I was previously working with children for 10 years and am able to provide kind, fun and engaging childcare and informal teaching. I can also play the piano and can share this skill if that's helpful! I don't have much experience with gardening or building etc but I'm always very happy to learn new things and I pay a lot of attention to detail with any task that I'm given.

Autres infos...
I'm a calm presence and a good listener and can fit in well and adapt to most situations, being friendly, sociable and warm. I enjoy board games (Scrabble, Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride and Dixit are a few of my favourites), badminton, cooking, baking, walking, reading, theatre and (of course) travelling. I'm currently in my home city of London for a few months over the summer, but I'm planning to go to Colombia in October or November 2024.

Laissé par l'hôte (Give a hand around our social ...) pour le workawayer ()

My experience with Ally was one of the best experiences I've had with volunteers since she arrived. It was clear how at home she felt, how much she respected the rules, and how she navigated her way around staff and clients.

She always had a smile on her face. She's an incredible human being. I consider her more than a volunteer, I consider her a… read more

I had an amazing time here and I wouldn't hesitate to come back in the future. The work is chill and Leo is a great manager, so I ended up spending 3 months here. It's the perfect way to live in Medellín and have access to a ready-made community and some cool events - I spent time hiking, dancing, eating great food and seeing the sights of… read more

Laissé par l'hôte (Assist our Mexican teachers ...) pour le workawayer ()

I would host Ally again if I had the opportunity. She was of great help at Genie. She is polite, respectful, patient, kind, punctual, committed, and helpful. These virtues help our students (especially the shy ones) feel comfortable to practice their language skills with her. She worked well with students of all ages and was able to adapt to them.… read more

I had a great experience at this workaway. The hours were fair and involved classes in the late afternoon/evening period, which students attend after school or work. There were a range of age groups, from children to adults. The work was to act as a teaching assistant, supporting the teachers and perhaps leading some of the activities, but the… read more

This was the first workaway for Ally and I'm pretty sure that she enjoyed it to the top.

Ally is a wonderful person, always with a smile on her face, so friendly and respectful, always punctual, and took this volunteering with a great sense of responsibility. At the beginning, she decided to stay a month but ended up staying two months. Everybody… read more

The other reviewers have already said it all so I'll keep it brief, but this was my first workaway and I couldn't have hoped for a better experience! The teachers and Liz the wonderful receptionist were lovely and really helpful, and I stayed with an incredible host family who took me out a lot, went to a lot of effort to accomodate some dietary… read more
