Descrição

About Me:

I'm 32, English, and quite tall. I love conversation, food, coffee, gardening, hiking, walking, swimming, cooking, teaching, writing, reading literature (English, Chinese),language-learning, and lots of other things. I studied Chinese at university and Medieval History at MA.

I'm very flexible on working arrangements, and outside of assigned work will always try to help where I can. I try as much as possible to show my gratitude to those who teach me things and who have let me into their home. I have many stories and love to hear them from others too. I enjoy spending time with people, but I'm also happy alone.

I'd be delighted to learn your language (and culture!), and to teach you mine. :)

Workaway Experience:

- My first experience of work through Workaway was working on a farm near Bologna, Italy, in July 2019. This involved: wood-chopping, lifting, fence-building, roof-mending, feeding animals, cleaning, hay gathering and stacking, grass cutting and raking, weeding and general gardening, among other things.

- In October 2019 I went to Greece for the olive harvest, which involved the same kind of work as above, only more intense. I absolutely loved it. In October 2022 I returned to the the same place, doing the harvest a second time. The hosts have become my Greek family and I miss them whenever I'm away. It was wonderful.

- In 2023 I did Workaways in Georgia, one at a construction site, and one at a wonderful hostel, where I did greeting guests, check-ins, cleaning, room changeover etc. So I have experience running hostels and everything required for that. I try to help make an atmosphere. :)

- My most recent workaways have been on farms in Calabria, Italy. This has involved, gardening, clearing, heavy-lifting, digging, weeding, planting, construction work [fences, floors, though this work was supervised], and serving guests at a rural restaurant [Cucina Contadina],

- I've also worked in lots of different industries: teaching, shopping (retail), marketing, social media, working online, etc. So I have lots of skills from these which can be useful for small businesses and charities.

If you'd be interested in having me help out please feel free to contact me and ask me questions. I want an arrangement that works well for both sides, so I'm happy to discuss anything and everything.

Quais são suas habilidades?

My workaway experience has covered various jobs: wood-chopping and stacking, lifting, fence-building, roof-mending, feeding animals, cleaning, hay gathering and stacking, grass cutting and raking, weeding and general gardening, olive-harvesting, pruning, heavy-lifting, among other things.

Outside of Workaway I have various experience teaching (English and Chinese) to different age-groups, ranging from Ages 9-22, both in formal and informal settings. In 2019 I lived with a Spanish family for four months while employed as a teacher, and gave their son English lessons on a daily basis. I'd be very happy to teach Chinese for anyone interested.

I also have experience working in retail shops, working a check-out, answering customer questions, entering information into logging-systems or databases (I'm quite familiar with using computers), and generally making a nice, welcoming atmosphere and being available.
