Description
Greetings,
My name is Gretchen and I'm from Oregon in the USA. I've been traveling overseas for several years and am now excited to discover my home country!
I've decided to take off and live in a truck camper for a few years, and will hopefully find a place that I'd like to call home one day.
I feel happiest when working outdoors with plants and animals but am happy to learn different skills such as carpentry, landscaping, and anything regarding hospitality! I will always try my best at whatever I turn my hand to!

More details about your skills
I've spent time working on small-scale organic farms in Norway and in my home state of Oregon! Therefore I'm very aware of the hard work that goes into farming, and I very much enjoy it. :) I've also had the privlage of working on an animal sanctuary in Maui, so have learned how to take care of all sorts of animals, from hogs to tortoisis!
I've spent the better part of the last four years living off-grid full time in the mountains of Tasmania. The art of perseverance and patience certainly become second nature when you live like this for so long!
Most importantly, I enjoy the company of others, and love to listen and learn from them. I think these are also skills that are worth mentioning!
Age
26
What else ...
I love to share time with others, but am also very content with my own company and like to fill my days with reading, solo hiking, camping, and embroidery (when I'm not working of course)!

It's obvious that this farm is a wonderful place to stay, just look at how many excellent reviews it has! There isn't much more that I could add about why it's so good but I'll try to mention a few things that are important to me.
Like many others, this was my first time using Workaway and also my first time doing anything alone.… read more
