Descrição

ENGLISH
I'm Irene, a curious, active, and motivated woman... they say I'm friendly ;-)
I have a good temperament, I tend to empathize with the people around me,
and I'm not prone to conflict. I'm organized and I like cleanliness.

I love to travel and I usually do it alone.

Thanks to Workaway volunteering, I've been to Java (1 month), Vietnam (3 months),
and the Canary Islands (1 month). It's been an excellent way to see the world,
learn about other cultures, and grow as a person, and I would love to continue traveling this way and keep meeting new people and sharing experiences.
Despite my age, I'm strong and in good health.

I was born in Barcelona. I have three children and four grandchildren. I'm retired.
I trained in graphic design and worked in that field for many years.
Later, I worked in hotel reception for a few years, where I learned a lot about dealing with tourists. For almost 8 years I was a tour guide at the Joan Miró Museum in Tarragona.
After that, I managed my own guesthouse (for 8 years), a wooden house in the countryside
(345 5-star reviews on Airbnb).

Among my most outstanding skills is creativity, applied not only to art, but also to ideas
and life situations in general.
I have experience in personal growth workshops. Currently, I practice Family Constellations Therapy (see Bert Hellinger).
If what I have learned throughout my life can be useful to someone, I love to share it.

I could be useful in:

- General housework (I ran a guesthouse)
- Greeting guests at a reception desk (I worked in hotels)
- Tour guiding (I was a museum guide)
- General cultural activities

I'm good with my hands, so I could also do work such as:

- Painting
- Furniture restoration
- Decorating
- Gardening and animal care
- Clay sculpting
- General crafts and DIY projects

I could help practice languages (and I could really use some more English!)

I would love to be of service to your project.
If you're interested in my profile, it would be my fourth Workaway!

ESPAÑOL
Soy Irene, una mujer curiosa, activa, motivada... dicen que simpática ;-)
Tengo buen carácter, suelo empatizar con las personas que me rodean
y poco dada a los conflictos. Soy ordenada y me gusta la limpieza.

Me encanta viajar y suelo hacerlo sola.
Gracias al voluntariado Workaway he estado en Java (1m), en Vietnam (3m) y en Canarias (1m)
Ha sido una excelente manera de conocer mundo, aprender de otras culturas
y crecer como ser humano y me encantaría poder seguir viajando de este modo
y seguir conociendo y compartiendo experiencias.
A pesar de mi edad, soy fuerte y gozo de buena salud.

Nací en Barcelona. Tengo 3 hijos y 4 nietos. Estoy jubilada.
Me formé en diseño gráfico y me dediqué a ello muchos años.
Más tarde trabajé en recepción de hotel durante algunos años, en los que aprendí mucho
sobre el trato con turistas.
Durante casi 8 años fui guía turística en el Museo de Joan Miró, en Tarragona.
Después, gestioné mi propia casa de huéspedes (8 años), una casa de madera en el campo
(345 valoraciones 5* en Airbnb)

Entre mis habilidades más destacadas está todo lo creativo, aplicado no sólo a lo artístico,
sino también a las ideas y las situaciones de la vida en general.
Tengo experiencia en talleres de crecimiento personal. Actualmente me dedico
a la Terapia de Constelaciones Familiares (ver. Bert Hellinger)
Si lo que he aprendido a lo largo de la vida puede ser útil para alguien, me encanta compartirlo.

Podría ser útil en:

- Trabajos domésticos en general (tuve una casa de huéspedes )
- Atender clientes en una recepción (trabajé en hoteles)
- Hacer de guía turística (fui guía de museo)
- Actividades culturales en general

Soy hábil con las manos, así que también podría realizar trabajos como:

- Pintar
- Restaurar muebles
- Decorar
-Jardín y animales
- Escultura en arcilla
- Trabajos manuales, bricolage en general

Podría ayudar a practicar idiomas (y me vendría muy bien aprender un poco más de inglés!)

Me encantaría poder ser útil en vuestro proyecto.

Irene was with us for more than three months this year and she was energetic, friendly and fulfilled all of her assignments with the greatest amount of professionalism. We were looking for German speaking staff, as the German speaking countries make up our largest market, so we were a little concerned having someone from Spain speaking German to … read more

I was at the resort from January to April 2025. I'm writing this after almost two months. I needed some time to appreciate it from a distance... and I miss it already!
The volunteer experience was magnificent, and it left me with wonderful memories.
The facilities are beautiful, and we can use them in our free time. The beautiful gardens, … read more strolling along the beach, using the pools with their bars for refreshments, working out in the fitness center... Listening to the band that plays at night...

The accommodation: I had a spacious room overlooking the garden, with a very comfortable bed and private bathroom. A luxury! Once a week the sheets are changed and cleaning is done.

The food: The extensive buffet prepared for guests is available from 9:45 a.m. every day. There is a staff cantine where you can enjoy wonderful dishes of the most authentic Vietnamese cuisine. And for dinner, there is a varied à la carte menu in the restaurant. And sometimes there are some culinary surprises. You couldn't ask for more!

The job: In my case, the job consisted of welcoming guests upon arrival in their own languages -in my case, German and French- and seeing them off upon departure. On occasion, I accompanied a guest to the doctor or attended to a special need or request. Sometimes, guests simply enjoyed a conversation and were curious about our work as Workaway volunteers.

The schedule: We work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week (usually morning shifts) with 2 days off (which may or may not be consecutive). Daily from 5 to 6 p.m., newly arrived guests are gathered in language groups at the Welcome Reception, where they are offered a glass of wine and informed about the facilities, opening hours, local attractions, and generally have their questions answered. We often had to use the microphone to speak if the groups were very large. Since there were several of us volunteers, we were able to communicate in several languages: German, French, English, Russian, Czech, Swiss, Polish... While I was there, only two Spanish couples arrived... ;-)
Something very important! You have to wear a uniform! A beige polo shirt -the hotel provided me with 2- and black pants (I recommend one with pockets, since you'll need your cell phone) and black shoes. The laundry service has extensive hours and our clothes were always impeccable and on time.

I especially want to thank Steve for giving me the opportunity to live this wonderful experience. And I also want to thank him for the fun nightclub outings he invited us to every time a new volunteer arrived, so we could have a good time and get to know each other.
And I also want to thank the management, Peter, my colleagues at the reception desk, the bellboys, the musicians (of whom I have precious recordings), the HR people, and in general everyone who helped me settle in and made my stay pleasant and enriching.
I remember you all fondly.
