Description
I studied languages at University which really ignited my passion for travel, and so I really enjoy meeting new people from all different backgrounds and exploring new cultures.
I come from a small town in Northern Ireland and so visiting new (and far away) places is my goal and just all round having a great time. I am Irish so I'm guaranteed to bring a good time, be friendly, and have a lot of fun! :) Always up for an adventure!

More details about my language interests
I would love to further my Spanish and French language practice as due to the pandemic, it has been a while since I have been around Spanish and French natives and having conversational practice. I am also TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) certified and so I am more than happy to practice with those looking to improve their English!

More details about your skills
I am able to speak Spanish and French at an intermediate-advanced level and my native language is English.
I am a certified TEFL teacher (Teach English as a Foreign Language) and so can teach English to anybody from any background/age.
I am also always more than happy to get my hands dirty outdoors as I live in the countryside in Ireland and have grown up around farms and exploring the fields and landscapres nearby. I also am happy to do indoor chores, such as laundry, cleaning, making beds etc.
My mother hosts an Airbnb beside our house and so I have experience working with her to clean accommodation and welcome guests, ensuring they have a pleasant stay.
I also worked as an Au Pair for 8 weeks for a Spanish family in Madrid and so I have experience working with children and this role also involved household chores, cooking and cleaning etc.

What else ...
My hobbies include going walking and exploring and I also love doing adventurous and thrill-seeking activities. I haven't done very many but I'm hoping to change that! I also enjoy socialising and going out with friends and meeting new people. Exploring new countries/regions and cultures.
Foreign languages are also my hobby and so I love learning new phrases and information in different languages.

I had a lovely time staying with Marian and Jethro. They are very friendly and welcoming! The work was fair and the horses are really sweet. I also got to meet some of their friends which was lovely and Marian took me on a hike which was a lot of fun. I rented a car for a few days during my stay and was able to travel to some lovely local areas… read more

You can definitely trust her, she is a fast learner and it was easy to explain our activities and procedures to her. We will always appreciate her goodwill to help at any time.… read more

I had the best month volunteering at the hostal. Andrei, Abi and the other volunteers made me feel welcome right away and I instantly felt part of the family. The guests are also super friendly and welcoming. The work is fair and Andrei is always available to answer any questions you have both during and off shift. The hostel is comfortable, clean… read more

This was my first Workaway experience and it was incredible! I had the best 2 and a half months here! From the moment I arrived, Esperanza and her son Mikel made me feel at home and like a part of their family. Espe is also a great cook and a really great host. I will really miss them.
Teaching at the school was a lot of fun - the students are all… read more
