Description
Hello! My name is Blake and I am from Pennsylvania, USA! I would love to start my gap year by learning new things, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, spending time in Nature, and traveling to new places. I want to make a lasting and positive impact on the world, my own life, and to the lives of those around me. I look forward to the new adventures that I will find through Workaway and the amazing people that I will meet along the way.

I have always loved traveling and experiencing new things. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States and I am ready to venture out into the world of international travel and learn even more about the beautiful planet that we live on. I have a strong passion for nature and the outdoors and enjoy activities like biking, hiking, and kayaking. Along with having a passion for nature, I also love learning about our environment and would love to become a part of an ecological project through workaway to learn more about sustainability. I am also very interested in learning about and volunteering in hostels while using my skills in customer service.

I work very well with others and love collaborating as a team. I love talking with new people and sharing experiences together, so I am very excited to learn about different cultures and ways of life. I am a very hard working person and am willing to help out in any way that I can.

I am a very compassionate, helpful, and kind person. I look forward to gaining new perspectives through my experiences with workaway. I can't wait to see where my next adventure will take me and look forward to volunteering through workaway.

The working schedule is very flexible… read more

I really enjoyed my 2 weeks volunteering here in Baños. The hostel has a really fun, laid back vibe and in a perfect location close enough to town, but far enough to have a quiet atmosphere. The work was very relaxed and easy, 5 hours of reception helping with checkins and giving guests information about tours. I also felt that there was plenty of… read more

I spent 1 month here and had an absolutely amazing time. Between the incredible staff, guests, beautiful location, and tons of things to do, you are certain to have a great experience here. Puerto Vallarta is very touristic in some parts, but there is still so much around to discover. One of my favorite parts of volunteering here was being able to… read more

Blake is a friendly and easygoing person. Coming from really far away and arriving on top of this isolated mountain, he quickly became friends with everyone here.
He is really interested in ecological issues, environmental topics, and, he learnt a lot about how to manage producing less waste. He also helped us in the kitchen with our chefs during… read more

Lionel was an absolutely incredible host. We shared every meal together and had many great conversations. I have learned so much about French culture, cuisine, European history, economics, and so much more throughout my stay. Lionel loves to talk and I cherished the many long conversations we shared about various topics. I was able to interact… read more

This was my very first workaway and I could not have asked for a better first experience. Francesca made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. She was kind enough to allow me to stay in one of the extra rooms in her B&B with its own bathroom! Francesca is a FANTASTIC host and I cannot recommend her and her family enough. She not only… read more
