Description
** This profile consists of only Sarah now :)

Hi Workaway!

My name is Sarah, I'm an adventurous and openminded lady hailing from the US. I've been lucky to travel and work abroad over the years-- over 30 countries and counting! Right now I am based in Colorado, and will be beginning a year of Peace Corps service in Kyrgyzstan in January 2024, working as an eco-tourism marketing consultant.

I am passionate about the tourism and hospitality industries, travel, food, culture, the great outdoors, and learning new skills.

I am a yoga teacher, love to be active outdoors, read and write daily, enjoy live music, and am generally a curious, open minded person. I'm a hard worker and give everything I do, 100%. I believe that everyone is my teacher, and I'm a life long learner.

I love the concept of Workaway because of the opportunity to give back while traveling, as well as getting to know a place and it's people better by becoming a part it, instead of simply passing though. I've had incredible experiences through this platform, and I'm excited to meet you!

More details about your skills
I have lots of experience in various fields and more than anything, am open-minded, a self-starter, friendly and eager to try my hand at new tasks.

Growing up in rural West Virginia and living on multiple farms taught me quite a bit of outdoor skills-- gardening, building fires, taking care of animals. I love cooking and baking, writing and drawing/painting, camping, hiking, kayaking, and generally being outdoors. I am also a yoga teacher. Having lived in Germany, France, Sri Lanka, and Turkey I'm used to adapting to different cultures and languages (I speak native English and fluent German). I have my masters degree in international business management and have worked as the marketing manager for a luxury eco hotel in Sri Lanka and Alaska. I'm tech savvy and have a great grasp of marketing for the tourism and hospitality industry-- including social media, content creation, PR, OTAs, and SEO.

What can I say?? Sarah was a pleasure to have as a houseguest and as a worker. She works hard, was great with my animals and was very respectful of my little beach cabin. Her stay was short, but she helped me immensely by getting my studio painted and ready for creating. Sarah is extremely trustworthy and reliable - and wise beyond her 27 years.… read more

I had such a nice time staying with Paul! He is sociable, kind, laid back, and accommodating. I helped him paint and prepare his new studio space and did a bit of dog sitting (his pups and kitty are adorable!). It was very relaxed and we would work for a couple hours per day. He was very flexible with my personal schedule which I really… read more

I had such an incredible two weeks staying at Jack's place! He is such a kind, interesting person, very easy to get along with. We worked to winterize a yurt, and did gardening and harvesting work. The days were pleasant and relaxed, yet we were able to get a lot done. Jack was so kind to take me on some adventures around his home, hiking, meeting… read more

It has been an amazing experience having Sarah and Arthur with us for 3 weeks!

Moreover they showed much respect for our… read more

This was our first Workaway experience so we didn't quite know what to expect, but our three weeks with Damien, Lyse and their sweet family was such a positive experience that we will not soon forget. Their foundation is doing great things and we were happy to be a small part of this great cause.

They were in the final stages of finishing their… read more
