Activities i am interested in:
I'm moving from Florida to Oregon and am looking to do Workaways in various states along the way. Interested in any outdoor labor, gardening, or charity work, or really anything!
Description
Hi! I am a passionate environmentalist looking to explore more of this big, beautiful world and to try and make an impact however I can. I love experiencing new cultures and places, and I always enjoy spending time immersed in nature.
I live in Florida and have lived in three other states in the US - North Carolina, Georgia, and Oregon. I am currently trying to move back to Oregon but want to take my time getting there and explore and work in different places as I go.
I love working outdoors with plants or just doing any kind of labor (that is what I've been doing for work for the past three years as an environmental scientist). I also enjoy engaging with the community in cleanups or other kinds of work as well.
I used Workaway last year when I visited Spain for two months and I truly LOVED the experience! It was so fun exploring different cultures and places and it felt great to know I was making a direct difference in the hosts' lives and homes. I really like working hard and feeling good about the work I'm doing and helping out however I can!

I had a really wonderful time staying here! I stayed during mid-February and helped with different projects, including a day planting native pine seedlings, cleaning, and other outdoor tasks. The weather was blisteringly cold the first few days, but Jack and Lorraine were very understanding and helpful with finding tasks to do and ways to manage… read more

We really enjoyed Emily's stay here on her journey to the Northwest. She's friendly, flexible, and brings along a beautiful fluffy cat too. During her stay, we tackled a siding project and planted over 700 seedlings. She was always on time and worked well to task. Emily also got along well with everyone here and the other volunteers we had here at… read more

Some time later, we want to thank you, Emily for your stay with us. The difficulties with the language were not important compared with your contribution to our life and project. Thank you for your good disposition to learn and help in so many tasks. In those dark weeks because of the season, you put a light. ¡Muchas gracias!

Wow, this was the best experience, truly! This was my second workaway experience, and by far the best. Jose and Pili are so kind, especially dealing with me, a gal with a very limited Spanish vocabulary. They were always so patient and welcoming. The land around the house is absolutely the most beautiful, most precious landscape you can imagine. I… read more

Emily sadly only stayed with us for 2 weeks but in those 2 weeks she was a delight to host.
During her stay she picked carobs, cleared the land. She is an absolute gem with a Strimmer/Weedwhacker. Working mainly unsupervised as I was not able to get down the terraces. She got on well with others and was a great hit with our dogs.
We really enjoyed… read more

This was my very first workaway experience, and I stayed here for two weeks. This was a good amount of time to stay in order to experience the farm and the areas around it. I will start by saying the land itself is so beautiful. One of my favorite things was to watch the sunset from their roof (the sunsets were always stunning every night) and… read more
