Description

Hi, my name is Andrea.
I am a semi-retired, single female . I love all sentient beings, nature, gardening, music, dance, art, creating, upcycling, organizing, homemaking, sunshine, and fresh air, just to name a few!

Here is a little account of what I’ve done just this past year: I volunteered (independent of Workaway) on a goat farm in Batavia, NY; prepared a cottage spring cleaning and yard work in Cape Cod, MA; returned to Connecticut to install a flagstone patio for a friend; helped another friend who broke her ankle get her garden beds ready; and traveled to Marshville, NC, to assist my disabled cousin in unpacking a delivery truck full of boxes into her new home, cleaning and organizing each room for optimal functionality and aesthetics.

And here I am now, updating my profile on Workaway.
I am currently in North Carolina, USA, on the hunt for another fixer-upper home as my next project, but I’d be happy to come help you with yours in the interim!
