Descrição

About Me:

I'm 31, English, and quite tall. I studied Chinese at university and Medieval History at MA, and I love conversation, writing, reading literature (English, Chinese, Spanish), food, coffee, gardening, hiking, walking, swimming, cooking, teaching, language-learning, and lots of other things.

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. :)

Workaways:

My first experience of work through the Workaway site was working on a farm near Bologna, Italy, for a month in July 2019. This involved various jobs: 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.

My most recent workaways were in Georgia, one at a construction site, and one at a wonderful hostel.

Practical Note: At the moment I teach English online for money, I have about 10 students and I manage a teaching schedule with them during the week. This means I have normally about 3-4 lesson per day (at different times). For this I need good internet and desk where I can work. My teaching times can of course be changed and moved around to suit the work schedule of where I'm staying. :)

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.
