Description

I love travelling and meeting new people. Not only that, I love to keep busy so lying on the beach is not my thing, Would much prefer to be helping someone with their dreams and life goals.
I am pretty flexible with working as I have volunteered a lot around the world already.
I am a vegetarian but happy to be around meat eaters while cooking and eating.
I have experience of website and social media updating.
I have a full driving licence. I worked for 26 years as a charity fundraiser and left to explore the parts of the world I have not seen yet.
thanks
Alison

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have volunteered in many places around the world. I have WWOOFED in Japan and Portugal, built schools in Peru, rescued wild animals in South Africa, rescued cats and dogs in Thailand and helped orphans and elders in Sri Lanka. I love to travel the world but at the same time to help others in need. I love learning new things and meeting new people who share the same ideals as I do.

I have completed 5 Workaways so far. 2 in Spain in April and May 2018 working with donkeys, horses, dogs, cats, chickens and ducks. The hosts have said they can give a reference if you wish one. 2 in Italy in Dec 2018 and January 2019. I recently completed one in scotland with a lovely family.

I also do pet and house sitting and here is the link to my reviews https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/united-kingdom/scotland/edinburgh/l/378639/

Laissé par l'hôte (Lovely homestay in the ...) pour le workawayer ()

Alison was a pleasure to have around, she proved herself a great worker, wielding a paintbrush for hours on our garden wall - she was great with the dogs too, and gave us lots of support with social Media and ideas for promoting our homestay. She has now returned as a paying guest and is an absolute pleasure to have around. We would recommend her … read more

It was great being with Sally and Jerry in their lovely home. I did 3 hours in the morning working in the garden and then a couple of hours in the afternoon helping Jerry with marketing and website stuff.

The food was amazing and it was obvious that they love having guests and workawayers. I enjoyed walking the dogs and it was lovely relaxing by … read more

Christina and her staff are very passionate and hard working and expect that from the workawayers. The work is not 3 hours a day and 5 days a week. I had 2 days off in the 4 weeks I was there as Christina was back and Germany and I was the only volunteer there. Some days I was working 12 hours with just an hour or so to sit and read a book.

I had a lovely time with Rebecca, Jimmy, Max and Freddy as well as the adorable dog Vita and the cat...Tipsy.

The house was great and I had my own en suite bathroom and large double bedroom with tea and coffee making facilities. I ate most meals with the family and since Rebecca is a wonderful cook, the food was fantastic. Rebecca runs a catering … read more

Alison is a superstar!
She has been in the words of my mum 'a great find!' I really appreciate everything she has done to help us over the past few months (gardening, sorting the attic, cleaning up the kitchen, delivering my supper club deliveries to name a few of the things she did with efficiency and good humour) and was an extremely easy … read more

Laissé par l'hôte (Help around an Umbrian Tuscan ...) pour le workawayer ()

We are OLD, old Workaway hosts and we've seen a hundred or so. Alison makes the cut. Alison is our new family member.
She's Scottish so she's practical, sensible, funny, involved, educated, independent, helpful, a remainer (yes!), and very seriously missed. She know's her films and can recommend a good evening's entertainment. I can't explain the … read more

I had an amazing time with Alex and David who welcomed me into their home (although David didn't arrive for another couple of weeks). For the first week we were making pillowcases and pillows. Then, due to the comments of one of her friends, we switched to painting furniture and revamping rooms. It was nice work and not hard at all. It was great … read more

Alison is wonderful! She brings cheer and a great sense of humor and is a hard worker who doesn't shy away from any task, whether heavy lifting or painstaking cleaning and many labor-intensive chores. She is strong and competent! She is friendly and gets along with everyone, and she has a lot of enthusiasm and joie di vivre that she shares, along … read more

I had a great time working with Daniele at the pet boarding centre. The work was a bit longer than 5 hours if you wanted to do a good job, clean out the kennels/cat area and make sure that the dogs and cats have cuddles and time for play.

The food was great and on Sundays we always got treats from the local bakery. If there was anything special … read more

I had a wonderful time with Veronika and Axel. It was my first workaway experience but I have volunteered across the world before. I was to look after the animals when Veronika and Axel were at work. You were woken up in the morning (at 8am so not too early) with the donkeys braying for food - just too cute.

Most of the day you had to yourself so … read more
