Description
Hello world! It's that time again where the open road is calling my name. At this point in my life, I have an intense desire to live in harmony with Nature, and learn more about sustainable living, alternative healing practices, permaculture, and community based living. My personality is lighthearted, easy going, fun loving, and open. I have a passion for cooking and have been experimenting with new flavors since I was a kid, and I love love love nutrition & herbalism & using food and herbs as a way of helping me stay balanced and grounded [and helping others along the way]. I appreciate and enjoy working & creating using my talents. I have lots of experience woofing and workawaying, both stateside and abroad, and I absolutely love everything about it. Also, I come from a family of nine (seven kids total) so I enjoy being around all sorts of different people, both old and young.
I also love dancing, reading, writing, videography, hiking, beach walking, creating amazing food, having open conversations, getting to know someone on a deep level, and just having raw spontaneous experiences!
I'm a free minded soul and always open to trying new things and experiencing different cultures.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers

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

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

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!
