Beschreibung
Hello! My name is Jordan Eisen, and I am a student at Northwestern University, nearby Chicago. I have lived in the US my whole life, and barely traveled until university. In college, however, I have sought out opportunities to travel and learn about other cultures.
I fell in love with travel when I studied abroad from August to December 2024. I lived in Madrid, Spain and fell in love with it and loved meeting people there. I also was able to travel to several other countries and cities with friends over weekends and school breaks, but I never experienced the same cultural immersion that I got from living in Spain.
In my time studying abroad, I learned that I wanted more immersive experiences. I made lots of friends at hostels, and they suggested Workaway has what I'm looking for.
I found some time in the summer of 2025 to try my first Workaway on an organic farm in the Italian Dolomites. I was extremely excited all summer, and I loved it more than I even imagined. I helped with harvesting around the farm, caring for animals, and housework/cooking. I had such an amazing time, I want to do another Workaway!

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I am currently a student at Northwestern University, where I study Economics and Journalism with a minor in Data Science. I have lots of formal academic experience in these fields and a broad liberal arts education, but I'll take this time to talk more about my more practical and physical skills. I am fluent in English and would love to teach it. I also know a little Spanish, Latin, and Hebrew.
In summer 2021, I participated in a rotational program at an overnight summer camp. There were 4 rotations over 10 weeks. First, I worked in an industrial kitchen, washing dishes for every meal, sweeping and mopping, and setting all tables. Second, I was tasked with various jobs, from weeding and planting flowers to administrative tasks. Third, I operated belays for the climbing tower. And fourth, I cleaned all bathrooms; vacuumed, swept, and mopped various buildings; and ensured cabin cleanliness. Although these tasks don't sound too desirable, I had the time of my life meeting new people and doing these jobs together.
My parents also own a dog sitting business in which we have 5-10 dogs in our house everyday. Starting as a young child, I helped feed, walk, and clean up after the dogs and still do whenever I'm at home.
Ultimately, I have practice with a medley of domestic tasks but am also super flexible and happy to help in any way you might need!

Was noch ...
I love sports of all kinds, staying active, and learning. I also enjoy some time relaxing, of course: Playing board games and watching TV.
I am passionate about climate change and want to learn more about sustainability and gain practice in that area. I am also very happy-go-lucky/easygoing but also driven and have a strong work ethic. I am always happy to help out with whatever's needed! I am excited to make new friends and make a difference in this world!

vom Host (Get involved with our social ...) für Workawayer ()

We loved having Jordan at our place, he's a very committed young man with many talents and a keen interest in learning new abilities, despite not belonging strictly to his field.
During his stay he was always incredibly interested in Italian culture and way of life as well as farm techniques and practices. He's incredibly mature for his age and… read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Get involved with our social ...)

Staying with Jacopo was such an amazing experience and anyone looking to put in some work in exchange for natural beauty, meeting some awesome people, and experiencing a new lifestyle should absolutely reach out!!! There are a few things that I think sum up my experience: the people, the work, and the experience.
I think the people were the most… read more important part of my time on the farm. I stayed for two weeks but the kids and Francesca were at another Workaway the entire time, so I sadly didn't get to meet them. Jacopo, however, is hilarious. He is full of jokes and stories... and is an amazing cook. He has done so many things (from photography to acting to... starting a farm from scratch) and has had so many incredible experiences, like surfing on trains through the Sahara. He was intensely studying for a veterinary exam while his family was away, so he was very busy, but while working, sharing meals, or going to get gelato, getting to know Jacopo was one of my highlights. The bulk of my time was spent with one other volunteer, who was perfect to work with, and it was really neat to get to know another culture. We worked really well together, and it was wonderful to have someone else to spend time with when Jacopo was busy.
As for the work, I worked from around 7:30-12:30 every weekday, with some exceptions depending on weather. I would let the goats out, clean their pen; pick vegetables (usually pleasant but potatoes were a bit more of a physical challenge since they're buried); sort the vegetables, clean potatoes, or some other task; and then sweep and mop the first floor of the house. We also helped cook lunch and dinner but Jacopo took charge, for good reason! The work varied but was typically not too physically demanding and was sometimes redundant. Generally, the work was enjoyable, and even if it was challenging, it was only for about 5 hours per day on the most beautiful place I’ve ever been.
The final part I really appreciated is that Jacopo had a friend drive us to nearby hikes and adventures. He took us to a small stream with a bunch of waterfalls for a few hours, which was amazing. On a weekend, the same friend took us to the Dolomites for a day hike and on a driving tour of the mountains. These were also the activities we chose, but if you have other interests, I’m sure Jacopo will find other excursion to better match your preference. I think Jacopo would’ve joined us or taken us himself too, but he was just super busy studying. I also want to add that Belluno is a 20-minute bus ride from the farm and is pretty easily accessible, which I found helpful for some flexibility.
One last thing is that while you should absolutely pick this Workaway, you might have to reach out a few months ahead of time. I initially contacted Francesca only two months before wanting to come and was only able to find a time that worked because another volunteer could no longer make it.
This was my first time as a Workawayer, and I hope it won’t be my last. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I’m so glad I found this hidden treasure in Belluno. Definitely reach out! If anything, I’m under-exaggerating how great this opportunity is.
