Description
Hi there,
Thank you for reading my profile!
I am back in Europe having paused my career in Japan, where I have been working as an English teacher for a total of 8 years, in three different stints.
I started my latest sabbatical by workawaying in Tasmania, and after some backpacking in Turkey to start 2026, I am now looking for interesting experiences in Europe (Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy) for later in the year.
Six years ago, on a previous break from teaching, I enjoyed numerous wonderful and varied experiences with workaway hosts in Scotland (sheep farming, dog-sitting), Norway (running a guesthouse in the Lofoten Islands) and Chile (farming in Patagonia).
I am a well-travelled, mature, independent but sociable person who is easy to get along with, and I am always looking to learn new skills.
If you have any further questions then please just ask! -

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I am eager to help in any way as I am a quick learner and open-minded.
I have undertaken a whole range of tasks during my workaway experiences so far, e.g. painting, cleaning, log splitting, gardening, animal care, farming, heavy lifting, general house maintenance, and so on.
I like to keep myself in good shape so I am fit and would be fine with any physically demanding work. -

Autres infos...
I am very much an animal lover, so I would particularly enjoy workawaying in an environment full of pets!
I am also good with children, given that I am an elementary school teacher by profession, with five nieces and nephews who I love interacting with :)
I will always be a willing helper in the kitchen when needed, and I actually enjoy washing up - it's therapeutic! -

I was away for most of the time but my husband was around and "tried" to cook for Richard. Not all meals were successful!
I would definitely recommend Richard for any work - he is very adaptable.
I only saw Jeannette for the initial day or so while she showed me the ropes, but it was enough to see that she is a caring, trusting and welcoming person, so much so that she allowed me to put my … read more
