Description
Warm greetings and hugs great big world. I am excited to hit the road again.

A little context of where I'm at. I've been living in Utah (Saint George and Ogden) the last several years, and a few months ago I broke up with my beloved girlfriend of 3 years, so I am thrilled and ready to reinvigorate, refresh, and reignite my passions for travel, connecting with different people, and exploring new areas.

Something deep is fulfilled inside of me when I travel alone with no plans or itinerary. It's always been a good experience for me. So many wonderful people out there, and beautiful new experiences to be had.

A little bit about me. I love to offer my gifts and talents and heart freely. I am easy to communicate with, non-judgmental, and quick to learn. I love love love to cook and dance. Those are my main passions right now. Some of the traits I value over most is kindness, playfulness, lightheartedness, and respect.

I love spending time with kids, creating, playing games, cooking, and just having a great time. Most kids get along with me quite easily. I grew up with 5 sisters and 1 brother, so it comes naturally to me.

I am a private chef and have been cooking for over 25 years. I do dinner parties, retreats, birthday celebrations, catering, cooking classes, and any type of special occasion. It is my greatest passion and joy, so if there is anyway to include cooking for part of the work (food prep, family meals, etc), or just to have the opportunity to cook utilizing whatever ingredients are available, I'd be absolutely thrilled!

High quality food is definitely a major focus for me right now, as I'm still healing through some autoimmune issues, so in the spirit of transparency I do want to be clear that I desire to have plenty of good whole foods available. I am sensitive to gluten and dairy primarily, and like to stick mostly to fruits, vegetables, good fats and occasionally some fish & meat (I can go with or without). I can cheat here and there, and I always love at least trying whatever someone makes, but I want to set myself up for success here, and not put myself in a position where I have to eat a lot of ultra processed food, and deal with all the fatigue and brain fog. I hope you will understand. If you don't feel like you can provide for these needs please just let me know upfront, as that might be a deal breaker.

Thanks for taking the time to consider me. Much love.

I changed my name to Rose a few years ago so I'd appreciate it if you can call me that. Thank you!

Andrew was able to help us get some of the heavy things done that needed to be done, like digging a big hole and some tree trimming and landscaping projects. We were satisfied with his work and enjoyed his company. Unfortunately, he had to shorten his trip and we missed having him with us for the 2nd week.

We were so glad of Andrew's help: he was very quick to learn new skills, was self-motivated to get the job done, willing to tackle any task, and was very easy to accommodate. We appreciated his self-sufficiency and the ease with which he fit into our schedule. He is quiet but sociable, and has a good sense of humor. We really got a lot… read more

Staying with Danny and Shirley was a pleasure. They are very easy going and the work was fair and straightforward. Shirley definitely spoiled me with her cooking! Something new and delicious almost everyday. I really appreciated that! Also, I learned a lot from Danny’s knowledge and experience with building fences and how to use different tools.… read more

He entertained our 5 year old grandson incessantly while keeping on task.

Mary and Tim are incredible hosts! I felt welcomed and at ease immediately. I had such a wonderful time learning about the history of the area, connecting with the locals (and their family), learning about the leather boot making process, experiencing a true sweat lodge ceremony, and just talking with these beautiful souls.

I had a wonderful week at the retreat center. The people were all very welcoming and super nice. It was fun cooking in their restaurant style kitchen! The work load was very fair with plenty of free time to explore the area. I’m excited to visit again when the temple is finished. Thanks for having me Karla!

I would heartily endorse all the good things said about Andrew by his many other hosts. He works hard, accepts any task without baulking, loves to learn, will go the extra mile when you need him, was very popular with the other volunteers. What I particularly liked about him was his sense of humor. To me this is the quality that puts him over the… read more

Staying at the temple for a month was one of the most unique experiences of my life. Learning about Krishna consciousness and being a part of the culture was truly one of a kind. I wouldn't trade it for anything. The work was varied and I was able to do things I never would have imagined. The environment was beautiful and peaceful. It was such a… read more

Andrew and Julieanne stayed two nights and. helped indoors and outdoors. We bottled apples together on a wet day and cleared my tunnel house of weeds and distributed compost. They are a pleasant young couple and I wish them well on their travels.

Andrew stayed with us for about 4 weeks.
He was a very valuable addition to the farm. Nothing was too much trouble and he was a genuine help.
He is very easy going and relaxed which is a great way to be.
Thank you so much for all your help, and a couple of wackie recipes.

Staying with Gordon was a genuine cultural exchange and a great learning experience which is what Workaway is all about, not being seen as an employee but rather as part of a family. The area of Moy Pocket is beautiful and peaceful and the work is simple and enjoyable. The eggs are the best :) and Gordon is a very accommodating and relaxed host.… read more

It was a pleasure to stay at sundeck gardens in Maroochydore. Deb and Ian were great hosts and the location is amazing! The work was a bit overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of things it's not bad. And the food was excellent. Thanks again for the opportunity. I hope to visit again someday. All the best!
