Description

Hi, my name is Ethan. I am 23 years old, and am from San Francisco, California. I graduated from uni in 2024 an English degree and have been working and traveling since.

So far, I have worked six (and counting) Workaways in Greece, Turkey, Albania, Australia, Kazakhstan, and Georgia. I have acquired new cooking, cleaning, and gardening skills and have learned how to adapt quickly to environments situations and cultures. I have worked several jobs in food and customer service and am comfortable cleaning, cooking, washing dishes, and anything else. I have lots of experience with general housekeeping and gardening, and anything I haven't done before, I am excited to learn. I also have some construction experience.

In my free time, I love reading, writing, skiing playing whatever instrument I can get my hands on, and spending time hiking, camping, playing sports, or just being outside. I think of myself as open-minded and love learning new things, and I can't wait to see whats out there!

More details about your skills

I am fluent in English (I also studied it) and have a background in teaching, tutoring, editing, and writing. I would be happy to help coach English learners or help with anything where a command of the la language is needed.

I am in good physical shape and am happy doing any kind of work. I don't mind heavy lifting or other physically taxing work and am a fast learner with a good attitude.

I am also good at keeping my areas neat and am good at cleaning. I enjoy tiding up, and am happy doing anything from cleaning a house to washing dishes.

I have volunteered at many Workaways where I've gained experience pet sitting, working at a hostel, gardening and landscaping, and teaching English.

What else ...

I love music, reading, and movies. I like backpacking and hiking and really anything outside. I am passionate about criminal justice and housing rights, though I am not sure how those things are applicable to Workaway.

I also love learning new things generally. I like playing cards, board games, and am really just generally up for anything.

I really enjoyed my stay with Tal. I ended up staying for two months from mid January to mid March and feel that I was able to ski almost an entire season. I showed up with nothing save for some basic winter attire and managed a workable ski setup while spending very little thanks to Tal and other volunteers’ generosity. This is a beautiful place … read more

Ethan was such a calm, kind, and funny addition to this place!! He took care and initiative in all his tasks. He made some beautiful and informative documents for us, and was a great help with cleaning and organizing. He filled the house with wonderful music and peaceful playful energy. He was great entertainment for the cats and dogs and made … read more

With my limited Workaway expertise, I feel confident in saying that this place is everything a Workaway should be. I have seldom felt more relaxed and content in a place, and my six-week stay felt far closer to three.

I felt welcomed from the moment I stepped on the property. The training process was seamless, and the volunteer group welcomed me … read more

I enjoyed my stay at the Cafe. The Kadikoy branch could not be a better base for exploring an amazing part of Istanbul, and the actual teaching was very rewarding and a great way to get to know Turkish culture and the hidden gems of Istanbul. Altan and Esra were helpful throughout my stay, as was everyone involved with the cafe. This is a great … read more

Ethan was a really great help in my team. He’s not affraid of hard work and always give you a hand when it’s needed. He understands the tasks quickly and you can always relay on him to do a good job. He’s a friendly guy with a really great taste in books and music. I would definitely recommend him to any host.

I cannot recommend volunteering with Alexis enough. I stayed in Kirinthos for just over a month and would have happily stayed longer if I could. The work is not too demanding though sometimes tiring in the heat, but it is nothing unreasonable and at times fun. A typical day involved feeding the animals, helping clean the rooms, and doing some work … read more
