I feel very attracted to southern Europe where I would love to give my help to whom is reconstructing old buildings or creating an eco sustainable project.

I really want to work on manual projects where farming, construction, cleaning, housekeeping and cooking are needed.
I am currently obtaining my English teaching (TEFL ) certification; whoever needs help to develop their language skills I am here to help.
I really hope to give you my full hearted help in anything you need.
Thank you for your patience and time.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Skills

I have been a tour operator for Absolute Sports Travel for 4 years now. Working for this company I learnt how to deal with all the logistics that surround the tourist environment.
I am mother tongue in English, and over the years I learnt to teach this language too. Currently I am obtaining the TEFL teacher qualification, therefore if anybody needed help with linguistic matters, I am here to give a hand.
In previous experience I worked on farms in New Zealand; I learnt the basic food and catering skills in a restaurant in Australia.
I really would love to help as a receptionist in a bed and breakfast where I can promote excursions and events, as well as help with the cleaning and hosting of the clients.
Currently I feel that I really want to help manual, on fields, old buildings and in the agriculture world.
I hope my skills can help you in any manner.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you for your time and patience.
