Descrição
Hi,
My name is Pauline Marion. I am a trained actress (Acting Studio, Identity School of Acting), and a trained barista looking for her next adventure.
I have spent the last two years and a half working as a barista in Specialty Coffee in London, alongside my acting work.

My first experience with Workaway was working at Skyewalker hostel on Isle of Skye when I was 19.
There is not a week that goes by where I don't recall all the lovely memories created during that time. It was truly, truly, magical.

I also worked as an au pair near Florence, Italy, just before the pandemic. I was babysitting two little girls aged 2 and four, helping them improve their French. I now refer to them as "my Italian little sisters".

I love being creative : painting watercolours, I always carry a sketchbook with me, I love singing...It would be my pleasure to connect with other like-minded art-lovers. :)

I am hoping my skills could be beneficial to you.
I would be delighted to help you.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Pauline) para o anfitrião (Help out in our hostel in the ...)

I don't know why it took me so long before writing this, but here I am doing it! What is even more funny is that I bored the hell out of everyone speaking about my experience working at Skywalker hostel last summer and how I absolutely adored it, how Skye is one of the most beautiful place in the world, how it looks like you're walking through a… read more picture and bla bla bla… (Of course, I did show them pictures to illustrate everything I was saying, it’s less funny if I did not ! I think my friends in my former acting school could be able to tell you about my trip themselves if you ask them.) Truly, the only place I've been silent about my stay at the Skywalker is on this website, curiously.
Somebody said in an earlier review “I felt welcomed the moment I spoke with Lisa on skype to the moment I left all the Skywalkers.” No, that is absolutely not an accurate quotation, but I think it gives you an honest overview of what it is like to be part of the Skywalker Family. I am so happy I got that unique chance, and if I could go back in time, I would do it again without hesitating. Be prepared to meet a family of amazing, funny, generous, hardworking, and genuinely nice people. If you are prepared to do the work and do it good, you will live an extraordinary adventure. They work so hard themselves, they are running this hostel all by themselves, making sure it is super clean and welcoming EVERYDAY. They work so hard to give their customers the best experience they could ask for, and it pays off. I was very impressed about that. They totally deserve their first place.
I often think about every precious life advices Lisa gave me, about Brian teasing me because I was eating way too many sweet potatoes, about speaking and laughing with Tim and Georgia... I remember going to the cinema with Georgia, Tim and some of their friends (you will meet them), Tim picking me up to drink delicious Cappuccino sometimes after work (I still haven’t tasted a better one yet), watching Game Of Thrones after a day of work, wishing for the sky to be dark enough for the stars to show (if you come in July, it should begin mid-August :).... And, what I loved the most, the thing that makes working at the Skywalker so special: You will meet the entire world every evening. If I could give you a piece of advice, it would be: don't be shy! Prepare your food when visitors are preparing theirs, go sit in the couch and speak with them, socialize, ask about their food, their day, their trip or anything. Because this is an amazing opportunity to speak with the entire world. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're not that much into meeting lots of people from all around the world. If you are, definitely go, you won’t regret it. Also, don’t be lazy on your days off: Go explore Skye, it is even more breathtaking in real life! You might find yourself hiking, suddenly stopping to appreciate the landscape, and thinking “it can’t get more beautiful than that”. Then walk two steps. Stop again. Be mesmerized by the place who has gotten even more beautiful, so much that you are wondering how this is even possible. Maybe you’re living in a postcard now ?
And, future workers, if I can give you advices : Do good work, show up on time, keep a smile on your face, keep your sense of humor and your personality, and I guarantee you that your stay will have a special place in your heart.
~~ Your crazy French worker who can’t wait to hug you again.

(Excelente )
