Descrição
South African born and bred (Johannesburg) but moved to the UK about 16 years ago in order to satisfy my love of travel and experience all that the world has to offer. I love learning about other cultures and seeing new places. I have travelled extensively over the past 10 years especially and have visited some of the world's most beautiful places.

My full-time job is caregiving to a gentleman with a spinal injury (paraplegic) and I work on a 3 weeks on 3 weeks off basis. During my 3 weeks off I either travel to new places for a holiday or volunteer in various locations. So far I have volunteered at a yoga retreat centre in Hawai'i, a Hare Krishna temple in central France, a Buddhist retreat centre in the UK, at private homes in Wales and Cumbria and also in Poland teaching English (currently studying TEFL). Thanks to volunteering I have experience in kitchen assistance, cooking, mowing lawns, weeding, planting, painting, hedging and walking and feeding animals of various kinds.

Quais são suas habilidades?
I have volunteered at a Hare Krishna community in central France, a Buddhist retreat centre in the UK, a treehouse community in a Costa Rican rainforest, a yoga retreat in Ibiza and Hawai'i and assisted a elderly couple in Wales. During my time as a volunteer I have cooked, cleaned, taught yoga, painted, mowed lawns, planted plants, pulled weeds, drilled holes, and filled holes.

I have an excellent grasp of the English language but can also speak a small amount of Afrikaans. I am very well educated, having attended one of South Africa's finest boarding schools and have a loving family who have taught me decency and respect.

I currently manage the Facebook page for the Self-Realization Fellowship's Lay Disciple Intentional Community who are interested in building communities around the world based on Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings so I am interested in learning what I can from other communities and passing that information on in order to help make the dream a reality.

What an absolute JOY it was to stay here! I loved everything about my time at Fiona and Stephen's lovely house. Fiona is the living embodiment of compassion for animals. She has so many interesting stories to tell and an astounding memory I must add. Both Stephen and Fiona make you feel so welcome. Like a part of the family as soon as I arrived. I… read more

Matt, my goodness... what a fantastic experience it was to host Matt. I could mention numerous things that Matt accomplished during his stay with us, all of them with commitment, passion and care, however, I would just like to say that if you are lucky enough to host this guy, you will find it a pleasure from start to finish. Truly a super person… read more

Sadly Matt only came to us for a short period of time as we would have liked him to have stayed longer. He was extremely easy to get on with and picked up the dogs routine fast. He worked very hard and we had no cause for complaint at all.
We would welcome him back.

Liz's place was just what I was looking for. A chance to get away from the madness of a big city and also get my dog fix which has been sadly missing in my life for many years. Liz is a super interesting person who is understandably also very busy with her work commitments. I loved all the dogs and cats that call this their home and am missing… read more

Like with most places you visit for the 1st time, I felt some anxiety about visiting a Hare Krishna community. Any anxiety I had disappeared within 15 minutes of arriving here. This little piece of paradise in the middle of France offers one a chance to not only escape the madness we are currently living in but also to experience a different way… read more

Kasia was very helpful with my arrival and also dealt with any issues quickly. The house is in a lovely area of Poland and I enjoyed exploring the town and surrounding areas. I also went to Warsaw which is easy to get to. The best part about the experience were the students who I helped with their English skills. All of them are lovely people and… read more

Both Ian and Mandy are such lovely people for starters. They are very accommodating and hospitable and made sure I was comfortable. Their gorgeous cottage is located in a beautiful part of Wales and outdoor enthusiasts will find this place to be ideal for exploring the surroundings.
