Description
Hello! My name is Courtney, and I have been doing workaways off and on for 7 years. I recently got back from a 9 month journey through SE Asia and India, and now I feel ready to find my next step in lifeI I am looking for workaways where I can learn about sustainable living, animal care, and especially intentional communities, as I believe I would like to start my own one day.

I love working with animals, children, and doing any sort of art. I also have a reiki certification, and am looking for ways to practice and increase my knowledge. I am very easy-going, and I really enjoy contributing to a community environment, although I can work alone if necessary.

I am an avid learner, so workaway suits me very well. I love to try out all sorts of things and learn about all the different ways to live in this world and create a meaningful and unique life.

I have strong communication skills, and I know when to ask for help if I am struggling with something.

I truly believe the world can be a place where every single being has the opportunity to thrive, and it is my life goal to be a co-creator in that reality.

It was wonderful having Courtney stay with me in September. She was always positive and a joy to be around. She helped doing mosaic, gardening, decorating and any other task that presented itself. I'd recommend her highly to anyone on Workaway.

Jenny and her vision for for the House are truly inspiring. I very much enjoyed my time spent there and with her. I mostly did odd jobs around the house, and also worked on a very cool mosaic project on the outdoor bathroom. If you have building or design skills, Jenny has many exciting projects on her list. Jenny is very welcoming, encouraging,… read more

I had a wonderful time at Nic and Lan's! They both made me feel at home right away. During my stay, I painted wooden signs for their second location jewelry store. And in the evening, I taught English to their cousins, who also work at the store. The pace of work is very easy-going, with plenty of time for breaks and fun. Nic always let me go to… read more

I truly had the most wonderful time at the school! I stayed for a month, and wanted to stay longer. The children are absolutely wonderful, as are the other volunteers. They do a wonderful job of mixing the foreign and local volunteers so everyone is really friends, and you get to learn so much about other ways of life. It was an instant… read more

This was a really great workaway. Zarina and Wa are very easygoing, friendly, and generous with their time. As were the staff and other volunteers. You work for about 4.5 hours in the morning with the horses, and in the afternoon, if you want to, Wa will teach you how to ride which is really cool. The work can be difficult, especially if you… read more

It's hard to find the words to express how much we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Jim. From the very beginning, he welcomed us into his home and made us part of his family. We never could have imagined a workaway experience as wonderful as this one. We'll always look back on our time in France with fond memories of Jim, the animals, and all his… read more
