Description
Quiet garden and mountain vista (previous workaway hosting was at a different location). I am Cheryl and I'm here in Samara with my 10yr old son, loveable shih tzu Teddy, and two cats Link the Legend and Nina the Ninja. We have lived in Samara for quite some time and would be happy to introduce you to our corner of the world. We love it here. Our home is peaceful and secure. We love welcoming new workaways into our lives. My son wants to add a room every time, so no one has to leave. My son loves to play UNO, chess, soccer, roblox, and laughter, so there is a good chance we will ask you to play :) You are welcome to come and go, or hang out and collaborate with us. I'm always looking for new experiences and skills to expose my son and myself to, so tell us what you love.
We are getting the finishing touches on our new space. Lots of opportunity for creative touches and repairs.
We are on a hill, which gives us a gorgeous view, we are a 5min drive into Samara and the beach.
What are you passionate about? What are your gifts to share? There are lots of options to lend a helping hand towards.
We live in a lovely space, a three-bedroom house (we occupy two) and an extra treehouse/cabina, we have plenty of space to invite you to stay with us. As I have recently moved into this space I am discovering the little things that need to be caught up upon with maintenance, and would welcome someone who is handy in home/property maintenance, someone with experience working with wood, or finding creative spots to hang hammacks, or other creative projects we come up with. If you enjoy painting, have an eye for design, carpentry, furniture building, or gardening/garden projects. Digital Marketing, web design, art/art lessons, cooking /meal planning...lots of ideas.
For the most part, we are pretty chill, we love this space, it's bright and sunny and surrounded by flowers. We have a small refreshing pool. Samara is a magical bubble and we live in a bubble within that bubble, well, just outside samara... as downtown can get hectic at times, it's lovely to be just outside of that. I have a vehicle and can bring you into town not a problem, or the bus goes right down the hill into town. If you are a licensed and responsible driver there may be the option to bring my son to school and use the car for a bit.Types of help and learning opportunities

I have a variety of creative projects!! From general maintenance/tlc of a beach/mountain home, carpentry, interior design/ furniture creation to organization concepts to online endeavors.
Web design and SEO and marketing, sign making, painting, and digital marketing, graphic design/vectors, creation of digital art, filming, video editing, website /photography, passive income creation) Are all possibilities. I'm looking to update my website and add some content since I've moved location. Social Media planning and more.
Artists! I have a few projects going on simultaneously and I could really use your help.
I would love to have art lessons for myself and my son!
Your artwork in exchange for living in paradise?
Some additional projects include
Illustrators for Children's book projects. Also graphic design, text, or formatting. Artists that can collaborate on digital art for a collaborative online store.
I am open to hearing about what skills you may bring.
Creative/Educational kid - Science Experiments, Art Projects, Music lessons, we have guitar and ukulele. My son's first language is english and second language is spanish. If you are fluent in Spanish there is an opportunity to study with him as he often defaults back to his english.
I am a massage therapist, and have been for the last 20+yrs. Also may be open to therapeutic collaborations, professional trades, etc. Always interested in unique specialties.
Important details about this work away. You must be self-motivated. While I'm pretty chill and flexible I'm also a working single mom. If someone is excited about a project or has a vision, I like to let them run with it...I may give some input, however, I'm not going to micro-manage. If you see an opportunity to help feel free to pitch in. There's always food in the fridge help yourself. If you love to cook I'm happy to provide food funds to collaborate on something, or I may spring for going out occasionally to show gratitude.Languages
