Description

We're friends from the States traveling together!

Grace - I love spending time in nature, whether that be backpacking, canoeing, gardening, or simply relaxing in the sun. I'm a student at the University of Washington in Seattle studying landscape architecture and environmental science. I'm originally from a small forested island close to Seattle called Vashon. I'm drawn to Workaway because I believe our food systems and perception of nature in the US are incredibly flawed as their constantly being used to degrade the environment. Finding ways to foster community building through land stewardship is very exciting to me and I hope I can find inspiration on different ways of life for myself and for future landscape architecture projects that I work on through my travels.

Mara - I'm also a student at the University of Washington studying environmental science. I love the sun, swimming, hiking, getting muddy, and barefoot adventures. I love every animal big and small and dabble in dog training. I would really like to keep bees one day and am trying to see and learn as much about this beautiful world as I can! Im hoping to learn as much about sustainable systems and agriculture to hopefully start a little sustainable farm of my own one day!
