I have experience working with animals through volunteering and hands-on care, including feeding, cleaning, and maintaining healthy environments. I’m comfortable with routine tasks, physical outdoor work, and being attentive to details. I also enjoy nature-based work like gardening, organizing, and general upkeep. I’m especially interested in wellness and health-focused environments and bring a calm, responsible, and open mindset to the work I take on.

I’m currently in a gap year and using this time to travel, learn, and make meaningful connections while gaining hands-on experience. I previously spent three months in Canada volunteering with wildlife, which was a really formative experience for me. I’m passionate about health and wellness and enjoy staying active through workouts, yoga, and time outdoors. In my free time, I love reading, journaling, and playing games or board games with others. I value community, shared experiences, and learning from the people I meet along the way.

vom Host (Join us in the foothills of ...) für Workawayer ()

With us for ten weeks, Lauren felt like one of the family to us, and being here from Feb-May meant she got to take part in all of the “winter-to-spring” activities. It’s thanks to her all the seeds got planted in the greenhouse, then all the seedlings got up-potted, etc. She left just before planting time in the garden, but hopefully she’ll be… read more back to enjoy some of the harvest.

As a volunteer, Lauren rocks! She helped with anything and everything, from pet care to household chores to yardwork to housesitting. We credit her for us keeping our sanity and surviving our puppy being 5-7 months old. Our rascally, rambunctious pup Elsie was loved and cared for by Lauren, who took her on many (100?!) walks and patiently worked with her on basic commands. I think of Lauren as the dog whisperer, since she talked calmly and was consistent, even when Elsie was wild and jumping, etc.

There are many tasks and projects Lauren helped with, always willingly and with a positive attitude. She peeled about 1000 garlic cloves! She worked on a tractor and helped care for a new calf at the farm where our daughter also volunteers. She weeded, watered, and tended plants, pruned fruit trees, moved, shoveled, and mixed soils for planting, and was an expert at lawn-care. When doing chores inside (cleaning bathroom, kitchen…) Lauren always completed them thoroughly. She is strong, capable, and works hard.

As a human, Lauren is as good as they come. Kind, respectful, and thoughtful, her personality is easy-going, yet she’s up for anything-- adventure, a game, or simply sitting on the couch watching a show with us. Lauren took care of everything here (dog, chickens, house…) while we were away for ten days, which we couldn’t have done without her. We can officially say she is trustworthy, responsible, reliable, punctual, and friendly. We would have her back any time!

While laid back and flexible, Lauren is also a go-getter. She hung out with friends, joined in our family activities, went rock climbing and hiking, and went to a gym for workouts. At home she’d often be curled up with a book during her free time, and she also makes creative videos. We got to meet some of her family and it’s clear she comes from good, loving people, through and through. As I wrote above, we would have Lauren back anytime. We are ever so glad to have had this creative, kind, participatory, independent and courageous young woman in our family and we highly recommend her to you.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Join us in the foothills of ...)

Kristin and Steve were my first Workaway experience and wow, I got lucky. I feel very grateful that I got to spend about two months there in such a beautiful place with such amazing hosts.
While I was there, I learned so many new skills and got to do tasks I had never done before. They are both very thoughtful, trusting, and welcoming people.… read more Kristin left a clear schedule and task list each day, which I found very helpful and it was well organized!

Some of the work included a lot of cleaning tasks with very thorough instructions, dog walks, and greenhouse work, which was probably my favorite part. I helped plant seeds, water, mix soil, transplant plants, and more. It was really rewarding to be part of their gardening process and see the plants grow over time.

One thing I especially valued was getting to experience the lifestyle they’ve built there. It was inspiring to see how much care they put into sustainability, gardening, the environment, and living intentionally. They have created such an amazing space with a huge garden, and it was special getting to contribute to it while learning so much at the same time.

I also really appreciated how patient and thorough they were when teaching me things. I came in without experience in a lot of the work I was doing, but they always took the time to explain tasks clearly and trusted me to learn and help out.

Because I stayed for quite a while, I got to experience many different kinds of work. Some other tasks included cleaning the chicken coop, mowing and lawn care, pruning trees with Steve, helping disassemble and rebuild garden fences and posts, weeding, and general outdoor work. Some days were definitely physically challenging, but I got to learn a lot and I enjoy getting to do new things!

I also loved exploring the area on my days off. I stayed for over two months without a car, and honestly it was not much of an issue. The free public transportation was so useful, and I was able to explore a lot by bus and walking. I really enjoyed the quiet and peacefulness of Peshastin, but also spent a lot of time in Leavenworth walking around and exploring, its such an amazing place! I also visited Wenatchee and enjoyed the parks and climbing gym there, and it felt like a bigger town which was cool to switch it up. There is so much to do in the area, especially if you enjoy the outdoors. Being there during spring was especially beautiful with the mountains, river, and nature all around.

Most importantly, Kristin and Steve are truly wonderful hosts. Kristin is incredibly kind, thoughtful, positive, and lovely to be around. You can clearly see how passionate she is about gardening, plants, sustainability, and caring for others. I always enjoyed our conversations so much. She was always so appreciative and thankful!

Steve is very knowledgeable, patient, and interesting to talk with. I had read reviews saying he was quieter and more reserved, which is true, but he also shared so many stories and taught me a lot. He also enjoys sharing and talking about trees, cider making, traveling, and many other topics.

They both made me feel immediately welcomed and appreciated. I loved sharing dinners with them the food was always amazing! Hearing stories, laughing together, and being included in things outside of Workaway as well was great. I also got to meet and spend time with their daughter, who was amazing and inspiring too. Their whole family has such a warm and positive energy.

I came into this experience not fully knowing what to expect, but I left with so much. I will always value my time there and feel incredibly thankful for everything I learned and experienced. I highly recommend staying with Kristin and Steve if you get the chance — you truly will not regret it.
