Beschreibung
Hi! I'm Ellie and I'm from Virginia. My dream is to explore the world while getting to meet amazing people from all over and learning new skills! I love doing anything that allows me to be outside and doing physical activities that challenge me. I spent a summer in Arizona working as a camp counselor in 2022, so I have tons of experience working in childcare as well. I pick up new skills really fast, and am always, always eager to learn more. I'm very interested in ranch life.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I've worked a variety of random jobs including doggie daycare, plant nursery, bakery, and many, many customer service type jobs. Last summer, I worked in Arizona as a summer camp counselor with lots of kids, and I loved it! That experience showed me how much I loved adventure and stepping out of my comfort zone, and I met so many incredible people there from all over the world. This summer, I want to step even further and go out of the country. I have experience working outdoors in various conditions, teaching kids and leading activities, as well as working with a variety of animals! I am very interested in learning more about how to build and fix things, as well as farm work. I'm a hard worker and a fast learner.

vom Host (Join a mindful permaculture ...) für Workawayer (Ellie)

Ellie stayed with us for 5 weeks, but the time was far too short! She has a delightful presence and lights up a room whenever she enters it. That, however, is only the beginning.

She’s a hard worker, eager to learn, curious and kindhearted. She takes feedback well, asks good questions in ways that creates a mutual learning experience. She is… read more

Vom Workawayer (Ellie) für Host (Join a mindful permaculture ...)

This place is seriously special, and immediately one of the best Workaway experiences I have ever had. I stayed here for around a month and a half, and if I didn't already have something lined up for afterwards, who knows how long I would've stuck around...
Pretty much everyone I met during my time here was someone worth writing home about; I met… read more the most interesting characters who were always so authentic and engaging to have conversation with, not to mention PASSIONATE about what it is they are doing. One of my favorite parts about staying here too was that I received multiple opportunities to meet and hangout/help people outside of the inn, which made me feel that much more connected to the community in the area. This was my first time doing a Workaway with my dog as well, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everyone was so unbelievably welcoming towards the both of us, and I felt at home within a short span of time.
While here I got to help set up the chicken coop area, prune some trees (WAY more fun than one would think), plant seedlings, transplant trees (and plant my first tree!), make flower arrangements, help with cooking and cleaning, and write a play?! In addition to this, we had movie nights, did group hikes, played card games, had family dinners, and the most rocking jam sessions. Some of my favorite memories from here are the conversations we had just sitting around the dinner table after eating an epic meal together, chatting and laughing.
The people here are building/creating something really amazing, and it was so great to be a part of it, even just for a little while. The town of New Lebanon is small but adorable, and home to the friendliest post office in the world (seriously, go mail a package from there, you won't be disappointed)!
Open and honest communication is valued here, which I really appreciate. New ideas are welcomed too, and feedback (both positive and negative) is encouraged. I'm super grateful to Michael for allowing me to come in the middle of February when it seemed like no other hosts were going to accept me, but even in the winter when everything seems to be asleep there was still a ton of beauty to be noticed. I got to watch a hail storm roll over the hills and stand in the middle of frozen pond watching a wild beaver swim lazy laps. That being said though, I cannot wait to see how this place looks in the summer! I will definitely be back, and recommend this place to anyone seeking out a wonderful community to become a part of.

From the moment I arrived at Sarndra's lovely place, I immediately felt at home. She is such a kind, warm soul, and I felt very well taken care of and safe in the few days I stayed. It is so inspiring to be around someone who so clearly loves and cares for her garden, and I was honored to be able to help out in the process of constructing her… read more

Ellie was a lovely ray of sunshine in our Dunedin mid-winter days - and the only negative in her stay was that she could only be with us for a few days. I would have loved to have her around longer. She was not only bright, enthusiastic and interested in everything that was going on around her, but she had a very deft touch in placing pebbles,… read more

Ellie is an absolute joy to have around and after we had five weeks of low cloud and fog she was just what the Dr ordered to brighten things up. she was given minimum instruction and quickly mastered any machine. very deft touch on the controls, I've seldom seen such a natural. also great fun jamming, talented muso. good singer ( mostly in tune )… read more

My 2-3 weeks spent at Al’s place were filled with lots of jam nights, meeting Al’s wonderful friends, trying new things (learned how to drive manual, play the guitar, and drive an ATV!), and cat cuddles. While here I got to operate a digger which felt like a giant claw machine game…needless to say it was very fun!! Staying here felt less like a… read more

Ellie was with us for 6 weeks and I struggle to think of a time when she didn't have a smile on her face :) She definitely made the most of her stay as an opportunity to try new things which we really admire and appreciate! Harvesting roosters and baking her first cake from scratch are definitely honourable mentions of new experiences she excelled… read more

Vom Workawayer (Ellie) für Host (Come and help at our ...)

How lucky am I that out of all the places I could’ve ended up for my first workaway experience, it was this one?
It usually takes me a while to get comfortable and adjusted in a new environment surrounded by people I’m unfamiliar with, but here it seemed to happen naturally within a few days. I’m sure it had something to do with all the wonderful… read more
