Beschreibung
Hello! I love travel because it exposes me to different cultures and ideas. I am a high school literature teacher, and I'm really passionate about living to the fullest. I love hiking and walking around new cities and cats and campfires and watching the stars and good conversations. I am currently traveling without a smartphone to see if it can give me a deeper connection with the place and the people.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I am a teacher, so a lot of my skills are much less physical. However, I grew up doing lots of yardwork and chores all the time and I have a really good attitude towards work. It brings a lot of fulfillment.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help us restore a historic ...)

An internship with Roy will change the way you think and see the world. After my girlfriend had a really special time interning at the farm, we had so many conversations and I knew I had to come and work for Roy, too.

It’s hard work, and very rewarding to learn how to take care of the animals and take that over so Roy can get to more long term… read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Come help milk goats and make ...)

Living at this place is truly a privilege which I enjoyed deeply. The people, the animals, and the place all left a deep mark on me.

Leroi, Nancy, and Liz are truly welcoming, and it wasn’t 24-hours before I felt incredibly at home in the kitchen with them and the other volunteers. They are so funny and knowledgable. They don’t often volunteer… read more information, but if you ask questions, they will eagerly share from their incredible minds. And Liz crafted me and my girlfriend, who wasn’t even on the farm, the most beautiful bookmarks you’ve ever seen as a gift. They are truly special people. I was also blessed with incredibly special volunteers to work beside. We made so many memories.

The animals are wonderful, especially the herding dogs and the goats. I was there in March-April, so there were so many adorable kids, AND a new puppy, and I LOVED socializing with them and holding them… I got to know each one’s unique personality and love them all.

Finally it really is spectacular out there. You can see for hundreds of miles from certain spots on the property. It’s so remote and silent, and with everyone in their own cabin, you have such peaceful evenings for reading or watching stars. My heart felt much more at peace being there. I very much miss the soft desert breeze, the red rocks, the bird sounds, and the space. I felt like I could have lived in that cabin forever.

So all in all, I truly recommend this place, and think you’ll love it there, but I do have to acknowledge the biggest critiques of the farm I saw in the reviews. First was having to leave my car behind. It was stressful and I felt weird about being stranded, but the road actually IS seriously difficult and only a high-clearance, 4WD vehicle with all-terrain tires could make it. It takes well over an hour just to get from the dairy to the car parking. My car was totally safe when I returned to it. Secondly, because you are in a desert, relying on water catchments, there is limited water use, which also means you will have to lower your standards of cleanliness. If you fear germs or hate being dirty, you probably won’t enjoy this as much as I did. Finally, you just have to be clear about staking out your free time; if you don’t set boundaries on time you can easily end up working MANY hours in a week. Still I worked probably 50 hours a week and I don’t regret it a bit. If you do your part and participate in farm life you will find yourself rewarded far more than anything you put into it.

I can’t wait for the next time I’ll be back here. Thank you, Nancy, Leroi, and Liz!

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help me start up a little ...)

I stayed with Jon for two weeks. I learned so much! I enjoyed the days where I had a million questions and he so patiently answered them all (he's a well of information!) and I also loved the days where we quietly worked together, knocking the olives out of the tree or listening to his fantastic collection of music.

I hope I have the chance to… read more

Andrew stayed here for a couple of weeks during the olive harvest.

He was very helpful and enthusiastic about the olive picking! He also helped with the compost, with planting, picking snails, collecting and shredding branches.

He's also both knowledgeable and curious and great company for me and the other volunteers!

Thanks a lot and hope to… read more
