Description
Some things that motivate me are learning and growing, helping people, experiencing wonder, I like to help build things with others and to work as a team to make events happen. I am very motivated to continue to learn how to grow healthy food in a sustainable way and to live off the grid. I've done some work exchanges and volunteer work planting trees and working on organic farms.

I am happy doing things on my own sometimes, too. I'm very quiet yet adventurous. I am also very reliable and responsible. I am familiar with gardening, baking, cooking, maintaining a house and doing DIY projects. I have done a lot of house-sitting and pet-sitting.

In my down time, one of my most happy places is an outdoor festival - especially with music. I love to have new experiences, to hike and be outside in nature, especially when there is water involved. I love connecting with wonderful people and enjoying time together, sharing food and cooking!

Currently I am most interested in doing physical work outside and with farm animals but am open to other possibilities as well! A good connection with the hosts and other workawayers will make for fantastic experiences.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Join us at our place of ...)

I spent 5 weeks at this place in the springtime. What needed most attention was weeding, making compost, fixing little fences around the beds, harvesting fava beans, and planting little trees in water boxes. It was cool to learn how to make really nutritious compost quickly - out of all vegetarian materials. Learning the tree-planting method for… read more

Left by Workawayer () for host (Learn about olive harvesting ...)

Leandro and Sandra are super hosts, along with Leandro's mother. I spent 10 days with them to help with the olive harvest. It was such a great experience! With the other 5 volunteers, we worked hard and got to learn how the olives are harvested and processed into delicious oil.

Our hosts were extremely communicative and generous. They provided… read more
