More details about your skills
I'm one of those people who will get my hands dirty when needed! I'm a hard worker, dedicated, timely, and enjoy almost all jobs that I take on. I work remotely freelance as a digital marketer so I can be very flexible with my work hours and working with whatever schedule suits my work away experience the best. I am also great at gardening, I love learning about growing all sorts of vegetables, fruits, and plants. I am a creative individual as well and studied fine art and fashion design in college so arts and crafts are also a great skill that I've picked up throughout my life. I'm also a great cook! I am willing to try any skill once and are an overall hard worker, reliable, honest and loyal.

What else ...
I'm an avid reader and run my own book review website and YouTube channel. I can read up to 2 books a week depending on how much free time I have! I also love doing puzzles, especially 500-1000 piece puzzles. It calms my soul!

I'm a huge huge music lover and get a kick out of seeing my favorite bands or musicians live. In fact, I listen to music almost everyday.

I also recently discovered that I love being outdoors, going to beautiful destinations, hiking, camping, exploring the great outdoors. As a person who has lived in big cities almost all of my life, being outdoors is something I truly cherish and wish I could do more of!

I'm a huge foodie and love trying different types of food from many cultures! Being a food blogger would be such an awesome job! ha

All in all, I love meeting people and getting to explore different regions, towns, villages, cities, and more. I can 100% function being alone, but also equally love being around other people too.

Left by host for Workawayer (Chrissy)

We enjoyed Chrissy’s stay immensely. A cheerful and kind person, she was happy to help out in any way needed. Although we had some days of unfavorable weather, where working outside was not an option, Chrissy was easily able to switch gears and help with some indoor projects. And even when both Chrissy and Lea unfortunately got sick, she remained… read more

Lea and Nina were exceptionally kind and lovely humans! I felt very welcomed in their cosy home as soon as I stepped foot at their rural home. Lea is very very passionate and knowledgeable about the incredible permaculture environment and work that she has built on the land. I learned a lot about different kinds of plants, trees, how she grows… read more

Dave and Maria were the most kindest and considerate hosts that you could ever ask for! I seriously have VERY high expectations for future workaway stays after this experience!

Chrissy is the kind of person we dream of as hosts - spirited, positive, curious, fast learner, hard worker, eager to share her experiences and learn from ours. If you're a host or a worker, don't miss out on a chance to meet, work with, travel with, Chrissy.

My workaway experience with Dave & Maria in Marcellus, NY. Working on the garden and planting some Rye seeds!

I learned all about Invasive plants and trees from Dave, a great workaway host from Marcellus, NY. I would follow him as he cut down invasive plants/trees with a chainsaw, and I would spray the stumps with herbicides to prevent the invasives from growing again. It was hard work but such an awesome experience! Particularly liked wearing the headgear to protect my eyes, ears and face from debris. Safety always come first! Loved this task.

Got to drive a fun tractor/car around the land during my workaway experience in Marcellus, NY! So much fun!

I LOVED my workaway hosts Dave & Maria from Marcellus, NY. They took me out to explore nearby city of Ithaca, NY. I had such an amazing stay with them! Check out my feedback of the workaway experience on my profile!
