Descrição

Hello!
I’m Shelley, an artist and illustrator based in the UK. I'm always looking for opportunities to travel, meet new people and explore new opportunities. That's why I love the Workaway platform so much and I feel lucky to have had many amazing and rewarding experiences over the years.

I've done x 6 Workaways so far since 2022:

(1) Portugal: Au pair, supporting family life and early years development
(2) Portugal: Horse Rescue Farm, assisted with care and rehabilitation in a therapeutic, horse-healing environment
(3) Veneto, Italy :Taught English to mixed age groups at a local language association school.
(4) Torino, Italy: Au pair and English tutor, focusing on language learning through play
(5) Sardinia, Italy: Designed and painted a large scale exterior mural for a rural farm
(6) Poland: Supported farm work and agritourism

**I'm keen to seek more artistic opportunities so send me a message if you have any project ideas and you'd like to collaborate! **

I’ve been a freelance artist since 2012 alongside working with children as an early years professional. I've also worked as a nanny, au pair and a camp counsellor. My profession now is a personal tutor for college students.

I’ve travelled to various countries such as the USA, Asia, Australia and New Zealand and many countries within Europe, however my heart lies in Italy and I'm currently learning the language. I love to practice speaking Italian wherever possible!

Whether it’s contributing my time and skills or simply sharing stories over a cup of tea, I love meeting likeminded people and learning from different ways of life. Connection, curiousity, creativity and compassion are some of my strongest values.
Thanks for reading, feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or would like to know more about working together. Shelley

Shelli stayed with us for one week and was one of the best volunteers we’ve hosted. She was very helpful with preparing our agritourism place – cleaning, gardening, and organizing spaces.

She was engaged, reliable, and independent. We also really enjoyed our conversations – thanks to her, we improved our English and created a very friendly … read more

This was such a wonderful experience in Opinogora, Poland and I’m so grateful to have been welcomed as a last minute volunteer by Adam, Anna, and Franek in the week leading up to Easter.
They are incredibly warm and accommodating hosts who truly share their lives with you. From delicious homegrown food (and vodka:) ) to meaningful conversations, … read more

I had the most unforgettable experience with this wonderful family in Villar Dora! From the moment they picked me up and gave me a mini tour of Torino, I felt completely welcomed. They shared so much of their lives with me, from delicious home-cooked meals to beautiful local experiences, friends, music and recommendations. I even had the chance to … read more

This workaway at the association was only intended to be a 3 month position and I ended up staying for the full school year which speaks volumes. It was a great introduction into the world of teaching English as a foreign language. I had originally thought my role was going to be working with the younger children but this in fact was also teaching … read more

The young students loved her creative ideas and loved being part of her book writing/illustrating process. The older students also loved having her as their … read more

I stayed at the farm for just over 3 weeks and what an incredible, unique and special experience I had here. The daily work is straightforward and easily picked up in a matter of days, regardless of any prior experience with horses. It’s amazing how quickly you’ll get to know the 12 horses and their individual personalities.

The hosts Pia and … read more
