Descrição
Hi,
I'm Angela. I am looking for workaway projects because
I want to meet different people, learn about Latin American culture and use whatever knowledge and skills I have to help make this world a better place.
My interests include community projects, tourism/customer service, translation and learning about things related to sustainability, nature and local customs. It would be fantastic to share family life at some projects and also to meet and work with other volunteers.

My main job is in Administration, working as a Personal Assistant in the strategic leadership office of a large university. I am an excellent organiser and make sure the bosses' days run smoothly.

I have experience with basic maintenance tasks like painting, wallpapering, sanding, etc.; including mosaic making. At 'home' in the UK, I have volunteered with a Buddhist charity where I helped turn a warehouse into a community centre with café, shop, offices and spiritual spaces. I have a food hygiene certificate and helped in the café for some months and also with charity sales. I enjoy working with people and providing excellent service, so people leave with a smile.

I like working in my little garden and can help with general gardening, weeding, watering, pruning or maybe harvesting.

I can sew cushions and curtains and other home textiles.

During my studies, I spent my summers working for a travel agency and I was the tour guide on a short trip to Venice in Italy.

I like working in a team, but I am responsible and can work independently.

I'm easy-going and prefer a quiet night in (maybe with a good book) over partying. Unless there's dancing! I am a big fan of Latin dance and have taught Cuban salsa at beginners level. I like meeting new people and I would describe myself as open-minded and flexible.

I'm currently travelling in Latin America and hope to learn new skills and experience new aspects of life.

COVID 19: I have two complete doses of vaccine and a booster dose! All with vaccine certificate and of course full travel insurance.

Please also see the section below for more information on skills and knowledge I can offer.

Hola
Soy Angela y estoy interesada en proyectos de workaway porque
quiero conocer nuevas personas, aprender mas sobre las culturas latinoamericanas, practicar espanol y utilizar cualquier conocimiento y habilidades que tengo para ayudar hacer este mundo un mejor lugar para vivir. Me interesan proyectos sociales, empresas turísticas/servicio al cliente, proyectos de traducción y quiero aprender de proyectos ecologicos/granjas organicas, conservacion de naturaleza y projeyctos sociales. Sería genial poder encontrar unos proyectos viviendo con familias típicas y también conocer y trabajar con otros voluntarios.

Trabajo en administración como asistente personal para los jefes de una universidad grande en Inglaterra. Es mi responsabilidad asegurar que cada día de trabajo de los jefes está perfectamente organizado.

Tengo experiencia con tareas básicas de mantenimiento como pintar, alisar, y más. Incluso he hecho un mosaico de cerámica en mi casa en Inglaterra. 'Trabajé' como voluntaria en un centro de comunidad/centro Buddhista donde ayudé convertir un almacén en un espacio para la comunidad con oficinas, cafetería, tienda de segunda mano, y espacios spirituales. Trabajé unos meses en la cafetería y tengo un certificado de higiene alimentaria. Últimamente estaba ayudando con ferias para la comunidad en que vendimos ropa, zapatos y cosas para la casa. Me encanta trabajar con gente y hay nada más satisfactorio que cuando la gente salen felices y con una sonrisa puesta.

Me gusta tender a mi jardíncito en Inglaterra y puedo ayudar con jardinería, cosechar, etc.

Sé coser, por ejemplo sábanas, fundas, cortinas.

Durante mis estudios universitarios pasé los vacaciones de verano trabajando para una agencia de viajes. Una vez me encargaron ser la guía para un viaje corto a Venecia, Italia.

Me gusta trabajar en equipo con otros, pero igualmente soy responsable y puedo trabajar independientemente.

En general soy tranquila y prefiero una noche en casa (tal vez leyendo un libro) a fiestas, salvo si hay baile, ja, ja. Soy muy fan de salsa, bachata, merengue. Enseñe clases de salsa cubana a nivel básico.
Me encanta conocer gente nueva. Soy flexible y me adapto a diferentes situaciones y entornos.

Actualmente estoy viajando por Sudamérica y espero poder conocer mucha gente y muchos lugares interesantes.

COVID 19: Cuento con dos dosis de vacuna contra covid y una vacuna de refuerzo. Tengo los certificados de vacunacion y por supuesto policia de seguro para cualquier emergencia

Quais são suas habilidades?
1) I'm an avid gardener and DIYer, don't mind getting my hands dirty. I've undertaken many tasks in my own house and garden. I also helped as a volunteer for a Buddhist charity turning a warehouse into a community centre with meditation space, library, office, cafe and shop (lots and lots of sanding and painting!). I am happiest working in a team with other like minded people.

*Me gusta trabajar en mi jardín y también realizo trabajos de mantenimiento en mi casa. Ayudé convertir un almacén en un centro comunitario con cafetería, tienda, biblioteca, oficinas y espacios espirituales con un grupo voluntario buddhista. Me encanta trabajar en equipo.

2) I volunteered in the cafe for 6 months and gained a food hygiene qualification.

*Ayudé 6 meses en la cafetería de un centro comunitario y tengo un certificado de higiene alimentaria

3) Now I regularly help with charity clothing sales to support deprived communities.

*Ayudé cada dos meses con ferias en que vendimos ropa!, zapatos, cosas para el hogar y más para ayudar a comunidades desfavorecidas.

4) I have a lot of experience in administration, so any task organising, filing, sorting....I'm the person.

*Tengo mucho experiencia en administración como secretaria. Cualquier trabajo de organizar, ordenar, clasificar me llaman!

5) I teach salsa and have a training qualification as well, if that's of interest to any community organisations.

*He enseñado clases de salsa cubana. También tengo una cualificación para entrenar otros empleados en la universidad en que trabajo.

6) I would be comfortable helping with Spanish - English or Spanish-German translations of everyday information.

*Puedo ayudar con traducción de Español a Inglés o Alemán.

7) For over 10 years now I've been renting out a room in my home and I've welcomed guests from all over the world. I'm comfortable with sharing my space and interacting with people from all kinds of different cultures.

*En mi casa en Inglaterra ofrezco un cuarto para alquilar de corto plazo. He hospedado viajeros de todo el mundo, así que estoy acostumbrada de compartir mi hogar y de interactuar con gente de culturas diferentes.

I love anything to do with crafting, dancing or music.

Por último, me encanta todo relacionado a artesanía, baile o música.
Idade

Algo mais...
Give me a good book any day, nothing better to relax at the end of a hard day! I like board games, baking and cake decorating as well as arts and crafts. Working in my little garden in England is pure happiness for me.
I sing in choirs and volunteer at a Buddhist centre with charity sales.
I love latin music and dancing is just part of life. I dance (and/or sing) in the living room, while cleaning the house, at work, on the bus... -:)
I am very open to new experiences and would be happy to share my cultures and languages (German and English) with others.

This was one of my favourite workaways, without a doubt. Communication with Coni was excellent before arrival.

From the moment I was picked up at the village square in Pisco Elqui Coni and the family made me feel right at home and part of their lovely family and business. The setting of their holiday apartments is just beautiful. They've put so… read more

Angela shared with us weeks and a half. The main characteristic of her and that she admires, is a hard worker, always eager and very calm. We shared beautiful dinners with my eldest son and Sara and Cara who also came by workaway. Angela is a very organized attentive woman, I am happy above all that my children have met her because I give much… read more

(Help with gardening and ...)

I spent 2 1/2 weeks with Rodrigo from Mid-december until New Year and it was one of the nicest Christmases I've had. I started the workaway on my own. After just under a week two American girls joined last minute.

Rodrigo is the nicest, most generous host imaginable. Communication pre-arrival was excellent. The accommodation is a self-contained… read more separate house on his land. It was absolutely luxurious in terms of WA accommodation and the terrace has the most amazing views across the valley.

I started off helping with painting at another property he was doing up. In between I did some cleaning and weeding and little jobs at his house. I was put on cooking duty some days. Mostly Rodrigo cooked and it was always absolutely delicious!
Rodrigo went out of his way to include me in his daily activities, teach me about Viña, Chilean dishes and life in ConCon.

After the other workawayers joined, he only took us to the property he was working on one more time. Unfortunately it meant during the week Rodrigo wasn't around much as he was working on the other renovation project. We continued weeding at his plot of land, cleaned the pond, planted some cacti and bits and bats. I wish we could have done more as what we received in return was priceless. Rodrigo even got us each a Christmas present!

His eldest son was the same age as the girls. They got on really well. He gave us lifts into Viña, took us to his football matches, we had movie marathons over Christmas and he even treated us to the cinema on our last day!

The only thing to be aware off is that Rodrigo's property is out of town, not connected by public transport. You rely on Rodrigo or his son to get you anywhere, which at times meant disrupting his day to get some shopping or complete other errands and I didn't get to see as much as I would have liked. If you can legally drive in Chile he'll lend you a car and it's definitely a bonus!

Pasé 2 semanas y media con Rodrigo desde 13 de Diciembre hasta año nuevo. Fue una de las navidades más inolvidables que he pasado. Al principio de mi workaway estaba solamente yo. Después de una semana llegaron dos chicas de los EEUU.

No hay anfitrión más amable o más generoso que Rodrigo. La comunicación con él antes de llegar era excelente. El alojamiento es en una casa separada, todo lujoso y súper amplio con unas vistas muy bonitas desde la terraza.

Mis primeras tareas eran pintar en otro casa que Rodrigo estaba renovando (no en ConCon, pero en un pueblo más al interior). Además realicé trabajos de mantenimiento, limpieza o en el jardín de la casa principal. A veces me encargó preparar la comida, pero la mayoría del tiempo Rodrigo cocinaba...todo riquísimo! Rodrigo siempre estaba muy atento y se esforzó en incluirme en sus actividades diarias. Me enseñó sobre Viña, platos típicos de Chile, la vida en ConCon, etc.

Después de que llegaron las otras chicas solamente volvimos a la casa de renovación una sola vez. El resto de los días trabajamos en el jardín de la casa de Rodrigo. Él mismo se fue al otro pueblo entre semana, para supervisar las renovaciones, así que lastimosamente no vimos mucho de él.
Me da un poco de pena que no hicimos más cosas, porque el no estaba para encargarnos más tareas. Rodrigo nos trató súper bien y lo que vivimos con el no tiene precio. Hasta nos compró un regalo de Navidad a cada una!

Su hijo mayor tenía la misma edad que las chicas y se llevaron súper bien. El nos llevó a Viña en coche varias veces, nos invitó a sus partidos de fútbol, hicimos un maratón de películas en Navidad y en nuestro último día con ellos nos invitó a una función del cine.

Lo único para notar es que la casa queda afuera de ConCon y no esta conectado al transporte público. La única manera de salir o ir a súper o algo es con Rodrigo o su hijo. A veces eso complicó las coas, porque ellos tenían que cambiar sus planes para llevarnos. No permitió tantas oportunidades para conocer lugares alrededor. Si tiene licencia para manejar en Chile les ayudará mucho y Rodrigo les prestará un auto.

(Help at a small, family ...)

The best part of this workaway is the unbeatable location: you're 5 mins from the beach, 2 mins from the centre with shops, supermarket and endless bars and restaurants, yet the house is surrounded by a large beautiful garden, which makes for a very peaceful and relaxing environment.

The work was fair and we enjoyed the gardening and painting.… read more

Pasamos dos semanas en Los Antiguos. Nick nos recibió muy bien. Lastimosamente se fue de viaje después de unos días, así que no compartimos tanto tiempo con el. Su amigo Pupa se encargó que no nos faltaba nada. Estábamos alojadas en la casa que Nick esta construyendo al lado de la chacra.

No hay palabras para describir qué bien nos recibieron en casa de Guadalupe y Ricardo. Son gente súper amable, con corazones muy grandes. Fue nuestro primer workaway y fue genial. Desde el primer momento se preocuparon por nuestro bienestar y nos ayudaron mucho. El trabajo fue sencillo y interesante. Trabajamos alrededor de 4 horas el día. Siempre… read more nos dieron opciones de tareas. Nunca nos presionaron y siempre era variado. Nos indicaron caminatas muy bonitas para nuestras días libres. El alojamiento en una de las cabañas o el domo era de primera!!! No nos faltaba nada. Nos ayudaron con lavar ropa y con comida básica. Cuando bajaron a San Martin ofrecieron llevarnos en su coche (es una caminata de 1 hora 15 minutos , doble ida y vuelta, y no hay bus). Sus hijos son muy sociables y nos contaron mucho sobre la vida en San Martin. Nos enamoramos de todos los mascotas. Perros tan mimosas!!!! Compartimos charlas largas sobre Argentina, la región de Neuquén, la vida diaria, comida, costumbres....Nos enseñaron mucho. Nos invitaron a almorzar con la familia y hasta participar en la fiesta de cumpleaños de su hijo.
Muchas gracias Guadalupe, Ricardo, E. y Z. No vamos a olvidar nunca las casi tres semanas con ustedes. Fui una experiencia incredible.

There aren't enough words to describe the incredible time we had with Guadalupe and Ricardo. They received us with open arms. It was our first workaway and it was fabulous. From the very first moment they took care of us, always concerned for our well-being and super helpful. The work was not complicated and always interesting. We worked about 4 hours a day. They never pressured us and always gave us options of tasks to complete. On our free days we did some nice walks they recommended. The accommodation in one of the chalets or the domo was first class. We wanted for nothing. They helped us with washing clothes and basic food items. If they went into town, they offered to give us a lift (it's a 1 hr 15 minute walk one way, no bus).
Their sons are super sociable and taught us a lot about life in San Martin.
Were also totally in love with all the family pets. We had long chats about Argentina, the Nequen region, daily life, food, culture...we learned so much from them. On some days they invited us to lunch with the family and even included us in the birthday celebrations for one of their son's.
Thank you so, so much Guadalupe and Ricardo. We'll never forget the almost three weeks we spent with your family. It was an incredible experience.

We had an amazing time at Red House!
It's a small hostel and it feels like you're part of a big family. Flor and Nuria are very experienced in having workawayers and have clear instructions and schedules.
Getting up for your morning shift before 7am when you've finished an evening shift at 11pm can be a bit tough, however the experience is 200%… read more
