Description
Hello! My name is Aoife (think FIFA minus the first “F”).
I’m a sensitive, creative, and hardworking person with a deep love for art, animals, nature, dancing, sustainable living, and community. I enjoy taking initiative, getting things done, and learning through hands-on experiences.
My professional career ranged from hospitality, housesitting/pet sitting to healthcare (hospice and caregiving).
During my previous Workaway experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to learn about farm life, cordwood building, and mosaic-making, as well as creating pathways at a blossoming retreat center. These experiences deepened my appreciation for hands-on work, creative flow, and the beauty of living and working together as a community. I’m currently looking to spend more time in communities that value creativity and connection with nature and animals. I’d love to learn more about eco-friendly and sustainable lifestyles while continuing to develop my artistic skills.
I’m currently traveling with my 7 yr old 4.5 kg Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix and loyal sidekick, Ruthie. She’s well behaved, trained, submissive and gets along well with other animals.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Ruthie and I wish you a wonderful day ahead! -

The Dharma Farm was such an incredible experience. I was only there for 9 days and miss it so much.
