Descripción
My name is Julie. I'm a newly retired public school teacher. I will be building a shed this summer and would appreciate some help. I am oldish, smallish and an experienced builder. I may be able to teach you a bit about construction. Despite having a 30 year career in teaching little kids in public school, I have always loved building and worked in the trades before becoming a teacher. I have completed many projects around my property with many more planned for the future. I am very cheerful and energetic and love being around people who have a positive outlook on life. I have hosted many international travelers and love to travel myself. Visiting past workawayers is one of the things I enjoy most about hosting people!

I live in the redwoods of Northern California. There are hiking trails leaving from my front door. My house is in a very quiet area with lots of privacy, quiet and nature. The area nearby is beautiful and the nearest town has a lot to offer despite being small.

I have so many projects going all the time! I will be building a large shed this summer from the ground up. I also have several inside projects going and, depending on your skill level and interest, you might join in on these as well. You do not need to have experience in building, but you must have an aptitude for working with your hands, a willingness to learn, and the acceptance of taking directions from me. I have a large garden and you can join in on gardening activities as well. I would also really love it if you can cook, because it's fun for me to share some meals with the people I host. I can share some of my favorite dishes with you and you can share yours with me!

You will live in the little house on my property. I built this space and it is (at least in my mind) very sweet and comfortable. You will have your own private home with a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. I will provide food for you. I'm a vegetarian and appreciate it if you are the same, but this is not essential. I will provide the foods you like, within reason.

This part of California is very beautiful. I live in the mountains. I'm about 45 minutes from the ocean and 2-3 hours north of San Francisco. My house is five miles from town. As is typical of the states, public transportation is very limited but I will do my best to fetch you from a nearby city and show you around my area. It wonderful if you have your own car but many people do not, so we'll work things out so you see things, have fun, and enjoy your time with me.
My neighborhood has hundreds of acres of forest that will remain as open space in perpetuity, in order to support wildlife. You might see or hear black bears, mountain lions, bobcats and foxes. Deer visit regularly and will walk up to you begging for food. We might actually have raccoons, skunks, squirrels and chipmunks running around in the house! (I politely ask them to leave!)
This workaway is best for people who can find sustenance in solitude and in nature. You must be secure enough in yourself to spend time alone and to love the natural world.
There is no internet available and there is poor cell reception. You must be willing to be unplugged or VERY patient with spotty service! You can always hike up the road to the ridge (about 1 kilometer away) and you'll have good cell reception. There is free wifi at the library in town as well as in other locations.
Priority is given to people who have been reviewed on Workaway.
