Description
Im a free-spirited, creative individual, seeking nature-filled adventures and meaningful connections!
As a book lover with a passion for writing, art, music, and cooking, I'm seeking like-minded individuals to share in the joys of exploring the world. With a background in babysitting, food service, residential cleaning, volunteering at farms, and senior care, I'm confident in my ability to adapt to various environments and make a positive impact.
When I'm not lost in a novel or crafting a new tune, you can find me surrounded by nature, whether it's hiking, tending to a garden, or simply basking in the beauty of the outdoors. I'm also an animal lover, always eager to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Annalise stayed with us for a month. She is a girl who entered the house like a tornado of fresh air. After her first nerves upon arriving (it was her first workaway) she adapted perfectly to our routine.
She expressed interest from the first moment, both about agricultural activities and about any other social, economical, cultural issue... In… read more

This was my first workaway experience. I stayed with Eneko and his wife Amaya for a month and absolutely loved every second of it! During my time on the farm I learned a lot about agriculture. Eneko has an all organic farm, he is very smart and passionate about what he does. If you want an authentic experience where you will gain loads of… read more knowledge this is a great opportunity. Both Eneko and Amaya went above and beyond to make me feel at home, between the amazing food and great conversation, I felt comfortable from the moment I stepped into there home. They are very humble people who take pride in their culture, not only did I learn a lot about agriculture but I also learned a lot about the Basque language and its cultural background.

Work on the farm: During my time on the farm there was a very steady routine. The workload was very accurate to the profiles description. After breakfast we would go to the farm and weed the garden/ greenhouse, collect vegetables for the market, and other tasks such as peeling apples, feeding chickens, collecting hazelnuts and walnuts, and planting vegetables. Eneko was very straight forward, gave clear directions on what was needed from me and was very patient and willing to answer any questions. On Saturday morning you get the choice to go to the market and see what its like, I would recommend everybody to go at least once as it is an experience within itself!

Exploring the area: The bus stop is about a 10 minute walk from the house. The bus will take you into Tolosa, a small town/ city with local people, restaurants and shops. There is always something fun going on in Tolosa on the weekends! From Tolosa you can take either the bus or train into Donostia/ San Sebastian. Donostia is more of a touristy city with fancy restaurants, tons of shopping and beautiful beaches. Everything is very accessible and Eneko and Amaya were very sweet, offered rides whenever they went into town.

It was emotional for me to leave as I felt like there house became home to me in a way and I became apart of the family. Eneko was like my "abroad father" and always had my best interest at heart. Poking fun, offering advise and a helping hand anytime he could. I will never forget this experience as it has changed my perspective on life for the better. Lots of great memories and laughs, you will be lucky to you meet genuine people like this as it doesn't happen often. Thank you for everything! I wish you the best, hoping there are more sunny days and baby cows to come your way! <3
