Beschreibung
I began traveling on workaway in 2019 when I took a semester off to backpack in South America. Since then, I caught the travel bug and haven't looked back!

I’m really passionate about sustainable living and looking to continue learning about that. I live fairly minimalistically and try to produce as little waste as possible, eat simply and consciously, and I'm not dogmatic about any of that. I’m a visual artist who hasn't had much time to do visual art lately. I speak fluent Spanish and love learning new languages. I live for making authentic connections with people, but am still an introvert. With whatever I do, I go deep.

Pretty good at plant-based cooking, for myself and groups, as someone who has been vegan/vegetarian for about 8 years now.

I like to work outside in the sun and be connected with the land. I'm not afraid of dirt and physical work. I’d like to learn more about gardening and food systems, especially permaculture. Also, natural/alternative plant-based medicines are something I have been getting into. I’m an extremely curious person who loves to learn about everything that exists, so forgive me if I ask lots of questions!

**Adding during pandemic: I am fully vaccinated and conscientious around COVID (willing to take whatever precautions necessary for everyone to feel safe). I am interested in finding community situations if I can, to live surrounded by people, help assuage the feelings of isolation I've (we've all) been having, and make some like-minded friends.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Beautiful permaculture ...)

My time at Babette and Mark's homestead this summer was wonderful. I really adore their mission, and it's an inspiring place to be (which can be hard to find in these times). There was really great (mostly local/organic) food! Never felt lacking in that department, and they accommodated my vegan diet very kindly. I even got to participate in a… read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Visit my magical garden and ...)

This was the first work-exchange I ever did, during college (it was 4 years ago now). I couldn't figure out how to leave feedback when I first joined this platform, but I felt that I had to leave a review as a sign of gratitude.

I had a very restorative time at this work-exchange, becoming very in tune with the natural rhythms and finding a lot… read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Beautiful family homestead in ...)

My stay at Alisande's homestead was very restorative and interesting; I stayed for almost two weeks as a trial period, and hope to return for a longer stay. This was my third workaway experience, and my first in my home country. There are so many wonderful things to say!!

Even though I'm from the same country, I feel like we had a very good… read more cultural exchange as I learned about this area and the community here, which is very unique. She has a wealth of knowledge about plants and living on the land that so many people could benefit from learning (which is somewhat rare in this country; this is a good exchange for people from this country as well as for those travelling internationally.) It was also really fun to cook with her, and she is so welcoming and easily accomodated my dietary restrictions as a vegan. Great quality food, and the lodging was really nice too. She needs a lot of help since she's older (there's no shortage of work to do), but she has a lot to teach and is young at heart. She's a strong woman!! And the nearest town (which is very cool and unique with lots to do) is a long bike ride away, or a short car ride away.

A heads up: the workaway profile is a little out of date as I'm writing this. The community described is in flux, as new people are moving in. But it is truly intergenerational as described. She is also in the process of getting new goats, as she had to sell her old ones (but ask her about the goats; she is especially passionate about them!)

Her vision for the non-profit-- to teach homesteading skills-- is also really inspiring, and I was happy to contribute to such a project. If you want to learn about homesteading in a sustainable way, this is a great place to go. I really love the way she treats her animals, and as a vegan it was nice to listen and watch her philosophy on livestock care. Also, the land she's on is out-of-the-way and gorgeous, and really peaceful if you're looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle (which I was, coming from Boston and during the pandemic) while still having access to modern amenities. There's also an option to live in a very rustic room out in the woods without wifi or electricity if you are looking for that; the woods are very peaceful.

All in all, a very good workaway experience, especially for those interested in learning a lot of skills and exploring a very culturally interesting area. Thank you so much for letting me stay!! It was truly a pleasure. :)
