Description
My Workaway experiences are few but have all been incredibly memorable, and I am excited to experience more with anyone and everyone! I’ve lived in Italy, Washington state, and California. Workaway’s have completely changed my perspective of travel and people and I only want to grow with this community. If I could do anything for the rest of my life, I would spend all my time traveling, learning, and indulging in cuisines and from cultures around the world. Good vibes, good times, and good eats!

Definitely recommend!! I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this hostel. The work is simple and fair and the owners are all super friendly and welcoming. I worked with Bledar mainly, who was so so kind and helpful on a daily basis. It’s such a warm environment and they made me feel at home.

A last minute work a wayer turned out to be a very pleasant experience. Allison is a calm and respectful person who is very mature for her 22 years and nice to have conversations with about life and future. It was nice to see that she enjoyed the nature next to the work by doing walks in the hills with my dog Daisy and getting up a bit earlier to… read more

Rosy was such an amazing host, very kind, hospitable, and passionate about everything she does. She made me feel at home and I had a room to myself which was very comfortable. She used to own a restaurant and she is an amazing cook. She made such creative meals for dinner and mainly uses her homemade ingredients or things from her garden. Rosy… read more

I stayed for 2-3 weeks helping babysit the two twin boys and they have strong personalities and lots of energy. Unfortunately my Italian wasn’t strong enough to really communicate with the twins which was difficult at times. During the weekdays I would vacuum, mop, and do the dishwasher while the twins were in school. Also they have an adorable… read more

Thank you for an amazing experience! Bade is so energetic, playful, and curious. But don’t underestimate two year olds. Bade is the boss and she will make sure you know it. As any two year old it can be demanding and exhausting and some emotional breakdowns and tantrums. At first it was a bit confusing because Bade understands English but can only… read more
