Description

Being outdoors and feeling the breeze against my skin makes my day! Having spent most of my life working in indoor environments, I now seek closer contact with the Earth, with nature and with the elements. The Earth provides us with so much abundance, so now it's time to give back.

I've reached a point in my life where I crave new adventures, new experiences and new ways of feeling. Learning new skills is a priority, as is offering those I already have to those that may benefit.

I love meeting new people and working as part of a team; however, I also enjoy my own company and can work quite happily alone. I'm adaptable and easy-going in nature, and value balance and harmony.

With a background in languages and English teaching, I adore language and cultural exchange! More recently, I've retrained and have been working in holistic therapies: I'm a fully qualified Hypnotherapist, Reflexologist and also a Reiki Master. Spirituality and well-being are a fundamental part of my life, and I'm keen to share my skills and experience with all who may resonate with this.

Life was meant to be fun, to be joyful, and so escaping the rat race and embracing the unknown is my first step in the right direction. It's with a sense of openness and gratitude that I seek new opportunities on Workaway, and I look forward to positive experiences and interactions as I embrace life fully!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Workaway to me is very much about learning new skills and also being able to offer those I already have. Although I don't have much experience with outdoor work or the outdoor lifestyle, I'm a fast learner and practical in my approach, so once I've been shown what to do, I can be left to reliably get on with the task at hand. I bring enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn and grow to any project.

Travel, language and cultural exchange have certainly played a huge role in my life; I've visited 37 countries to date, studied Spanish to Degree level, taught English as a foreign language for over 12 years, and also speak reasonably fluent Portuguese. I love practising my language skills and helping others improve their own fluency.

For hosts and other volunteers who may be holistically inclined, I'm able to offer my therapies and range of experience in the spiritual realms, from meditation practice to plant medicine awareness and more. Looking at the current state of the world, I feel it's never been so important to engage in self-care as a necessity rather than as a luxury, and I'm keen to help people along on their journey.

Finally, despite being from a less computer-literate generation, I’m quite up-to-speed with technology and have been able to build a strong online presence for my therapy work through my website and social media pages. This, coupled with my language and teaching background, means I’m in a good position to help hosts out with their online content and marketing needs, particularly when English is not their first language.
