  Description

  Hello! We are Jake, Elizabeth, and Elliott. Elizabeth and I used to be workawayers before buying a home and having our son, so we are excited to provide an opportunity for travelers to experience the United States in our home located in Hillsboro, Oregon. We are an outgoing family and are usually busy with work, friends, and family time. We like to be outside and have people over to our house. We have a lot of different tasks available, so it all depends on what you would be interested in doing. We prefer to keep our house clean and would like someone to come for at least 3 weeks, minimum.
  
  *We have selected someone to come for 2024 and will update our availability for when we can accept other workawayers
