Descrição

Hi Loves, my name is Esti. I'm a veteran workawayer and a Jane of all trades. I travel a lot for professionally, and I like to explore new countries and cultures different from my own. Between contracts I like to travel slowly, and take interest in people and their way of life, both, on individual and societal level - which being part of the workaway community has been great for. I draw my energy from nature and I'm part bookworm part adventurer.

I'd be best suited for private homes where life is slow and conversations deep, or dynamic work places, especially those open to growth and innovation. Hospitality businesses large and small will be happy to have me on board, as will schools, education projects, and places with gardens.

I've worked as front and back of house staff, will confidently man your reception desk, greet guests, take bookings etc. I'm a former school teacher, currently teacher trainer and academic director accustomed to managing teams of 30 and groups of up to 700 youths. I have good organisational skills, I like to develop systems for streamlining work duties, and generally little will faze me. I love putting my hands in the ground to weed or plant or prune, I've got basic carpentry skills, which I'd love to develop and I can design a simple website. I enjoy writing and I'm told I'm good at it, so I'll gladly write your content and design your graphics, which is one of my favourite outlets for my creativity.

I'm an experienced retreat manager and a certified yoga teacher. I can run your retreats, guide meditation, yoga and qi gong sessions, as well as write and lead workshops relating to health, relationships, yoga and wellness. I make a great front line person, I love greeting new guests, checking them in and making them feel welcome. I'm used to running meetings, conducting induction training for new staff and volunteers, you name it. I'll gladly guide tours, mindfulness walks, and I will quickly educate myself on the local attractions so I can be a versatile go-to person for our guests. I also have a keen interest in somatic therapies, especially yoga therapy for emotional wellbeing, with a focus on personalised yoga programmes for individual clients with hands-on alignments and integrative holistic health practices.

My interests are vast and the skills I have collected over the years are numerous. Saying that, I like to retain a beginner's mind and remain curious, always looking to expand personally and professionally. Details of my professional qualifications are listed below.
--------

My Workaway philosophy:
During my time with you, your business and your home become my business and my home, which means you can expect me to be respectful, professional, responsible, go the extra mile and put my heart into everything that I do. If these are not your values, or it is not what you're after, do let me know as I'm likely to burn out if I can't be truly engaged in my work. Also, I'm a sucker for praise - tell me often what i do well (and what you'd like me to improve, too, so we're both happy).

If the above sounds like the kind of person you'd like around, I'd love to hear from you. Best wishes. Esti

Algo mais...

Oh, one more thing, whatever you do, do NOT leave me in the kitchen unsupervised. I can peel, slice and dice, but do not let me cook. I can be your sous chef, especially if you cook vegan, gluten-free or do raw food prep, which I really want to learn more about. Just don't let me use the oven or raid your fridge. You've been warned.

Thanks for reading this far, you rock! If you have any questions, be sure to ask - I will answer 100% truthfully. Communication is key and it's important we both have a positive experience. Sending love. Esti
