Description
Hi! We're Becca and Kendra and we're both new to Workaway! We used to live and work in Seattle, Washington but we started traveling the world in June 2023. As Workawayers, we spent the month of July with a family in France, and September-October with another family in England. We are looking forward to our next Workaway, meeting new people, and experiencing a new culture.

About Becca: I'm a certified high school English teacher with 10 years of experience. I also play guitar, so I'm happy to share music and stories with others. I love to cook and I although I typically eat meat, I am also able to adopt a vegetarian diet. I enjoy good conversation, quiet activities like reading and hiking, and exploring new restaurants & neighborhoods.

About Kendra: I grew up in Prague, Brussels, and Seattle, and I speak English and French. I also picked up Indonesian when I lived in Yogyakarta for a year teaching English. My most recent job was in education advocacy for work-based learning but have worn many hats these past few years! For fun, I enjoy hiking and paddle boarding, working in the garden, playing cards and board games, cooking and baking, and laughing around a fire. I’m a curious person and love learning new skills (and languages!) and helping out wherever I can.

As Workawayers, there are several services we're excited to offer to hosts: gardening, household chores, childcare, cooking meals, grocery shopping and other errands, English language tutoring/practice, and light construction/maintenance work.

Julz and Rocky were fantastic hosts! They were so welcoming and the home and garden are gorgeous. We had such fun and great chat with these generous folks and anyone would be lucky to stay with them. They were clear on the tasks that needed to be done and trusted us to accomplish them while answering questions and providing all the materials and… read more

These girls helped so hard, and were also so much fun!! They sanded and stained our outdoor furniture and stained the pool deck - the house is now looking SWISH!! We had so many laughs - we really wish they could have stayed longer. If you get a chance to host these two and you love laughter around the home say YES if they ask!

Left by host (Auckland home not too far ...) for Workawayer (Rebecca & Kendra)

Becca and Kendra arrived as arranged and I enjoyed the conversations we had on a wide variety of topics - they were very clear on communication and did some great work on some maintenance and gardening. They were careful to check how I did things and showed consideration for me. I was working for quite a lot of the time they were here but they… read more

Kim was a lovely host - she clearly communicated the tasks she was looking for help with and was considerate of our space and time in Auckland. We were able to work at our own pace and still had time to explore the city and some of Kim's recommendations for nearby cafes. She was also great company!

Kim's house is conveniently located to a bus… read more

Our time with Jill was FANTASTIC. We stayed with her for 5 days in September, and then returned for another few weeks in October because we loved it so much. Jill made us feel welcome from the get-go – she has a beautiful home and a wonderful family. Our room was cozy and private, plenty of room for a single Workawayer or a couple. Our daily… read more

This experience has been fantastic; I honestly cannot recommend Becca and Kendra enough. They have settled seamlessly into our family life and made this experience one which has been so rewarding to us as a family.

I have two children, a boy (7) and a girl (9), and both kids have been overjoyed to welcome Becca and Kendra into our family (and… read more
