hi there! we are leigh, mary, & rico :)
Workaway is actually what brought Leigh and I together 4 years ago. I (Mary) was living in Spain with a family I met on Workaway and decided to visit friends who were also on their own Workaway adventure in Malta. The first night I was there, I found Leigh playing music in the town square. We hit it off right away and never looked back.
We decided to get married in February of 2020 in Detroit - where my family is from and we planned a pretty epic honeymoon road trip to follow. We set ourselves up to travel from MI to CA and back again and had a work exchange set up in SW Colorado (with a couple we met on Workaway). We arrived in mid-March of 2020 just days before the lockdown began in the US. We had to cancel the rest of it road trip, but ended up falling in love with this area. We got jobs, bought a house, and didn’t look back.
We have a cute little home in Cortez,CO at the base of Mesa Verde National Park right where the Rocky Mountains meet the desert. We love how easily we can access canyons, desert, and mountains from where we live. We got our pup Rico about a year ago and he enjoys the outdoors even more than us. He’s the sweetest boy - 3/4 husky and 1/4 German shepherd and lots of energy. He’s a great hiker, snuggler , and playmate :)

SW Colorado is really beautiful and remote part of the country. You have access to the canyonlands as well as the mountains.
We are looking for someone to come stay at our place in April for ~2 weeks and in August/September for 2-4 weeks to help us out with some home projects, in our garden, and with our dog.
