Descrição
I am Sally and originally from Johannesburg in South Africa. At 53 years old, I know that life is worth experiencing for all it has to offer. In 2019, I decided to travel and see the world and I took a sabbatical that included some Workaway in France which I enjoyed tremendously. I settled in France for a bit during covid and then settled in Ireland where I have lived the last 4 years. My children are grown up and living their own lives in Europe. Besides being a mom, I was a social worker and had a small and successful private practice which I moved online when covid came. I was a digital nomad of sorts, offering my counselling online (mostly to South Africans) while travelling and doing Workaway.

I enjoy being able to work and live in new places experiencing life as a local rather than a tourist. Meeting new people and experiencing sunrises, sunsets, nature and the weather in many different locations is meaningful to me. I am learning Spanish and Ihave decided to started my adventures again and will be workawaying from April. I enjoy the Workaway life and the opportunities for getting to meet people and experience life as a local. When I am not on a Workaway, I am based in Cork, Ireland.

Quais são suas habilidades?
I have a variety of skills that include cooking, gardening, driving, administration and learning, I ran and maintained my house and home for over 20 years. I am an excellent organiser and planner. I love being active, doing a variety of crafts and interacting with people. So far as a workaway, I have done gardening, weeding, painting, grouting, pointing, DIY, mending, sewing, cleaning, organising stuff and cooking,
I of course have a lot of business, IT and professional skills with counselling, trauma therapy and training but my Workaway does not involve these skills.

Sally is a very nice person who is pleasant to have around. She worked hard during the time she was with us, she raked leaves, vacuumed the veranda, sorted out my pantry cupboard and polished the brass, copper and silver, which looks great and nice and shiney for Christmas. I was sorry to see her go after a week, but I hope things work out well… read more

Sally spent a week with Stephan & myself, she achieved an immense amount of re-organising; de-cluttering a very dynamic person & although she says she is a city lady, the milking parlour beckoned & Stephan had a new helper, we both welcome Sally's presence on our farm anytime!!

I had an amazing week of living in and experiencing farm life with all the cows, sheep, dogs, cats, mud and milking that comes with it. As a "city girl", it was a big change and my experience at this Workaway was memorable and special. Penny and Stephen are friendly, kind, considerate and great hosts. I helped Penny in the house with a little… read more

Sally is a very nice, interesting woman and she was extremely helpful in many ways. We were really lucky to have her as a workawayer.

First, she has a great knowledge of humans. Her training and work experiences are rich and were useful for us all.
Then she is a natural leader. So she was soon put in charge of the all management of the work and… read more

Amy and Valarie were great hosts and have become my friends. The work was removing old plaster and sand from the walls in the forge to reveal the old and original stones. It was quite physical work but great fun and rewarding to see the stones again. Clearing and cleaning of an attic and old building created some variety. The hours were relaxed… read more

Nous avons passé 3 super semaines très intéressantes avec Sally, que nous avons rapidement adoptée dans la famille car elle est très facile à vivre, agréable et souriante.
Elle aime le travail bien programmé mais s’est très facilement adopté à nos contraintes, surtout de climat... pas facile de s’occuper du jardin avec 40 degrés :wink:. Elle est… read more

Martine and Didier were great hosts and became more like family. I became part of their household, slept in their house and I even had my own bathroom. I helped with preparing meals and enjoyed all my meals with them, most of them organic. Martine cooked a lot of local delicacies with me and exposed me to French cuisine, their friends and life in… read more

Guy was an excellent and friendly host. It was my first workaway experience and he guided me well. The work was varied and interesting and as there were many jobs to be done (in the garden and renovating the house), I could choose what I wanted to help with. I loved feeding the sheep and pointing (like grouting) an old wall which were both new… read more
