Description
Hello! My name is Jen and I’m exploring Central America before I go to university. I’ve grown up travelling with my family but never had the opportunity to venture this part of the world which has always interested me - both for the landscapes and culture.

I’m an outdoor and adventure enthusiast who loves exploring new places and learning new things. In my free time I love keeping myself active whether that be running, cycling or just being in the fresh air.

I’m new to Workaway but it would be amazing if I could contribute to meaningful experiences whilst on my travels and am always up for trying something new.

I’d love to connect with hosts and other Workawayers who are looking for a motivated, reliable and positive person to help out and bring a new perspective.

It was so wonderful to stay with you and your amazing (and extended) family for the time I did. Although I can’t guarantee you guys got out as much of the experience as I did, I hope you enjoyed the extra company.

You guys went above and beyond to make it super special and I learnt and did things I never expected to - ie butchering a chicken… read more (thank you Melita for being a good teacher and for all the food too!), milking a cow, making cheese….! And I will definitely be storing so many memories away.

I loved working on the farm and picking coffee berries, despite not being a coffee drinker myself I’ll definitely appreciate the time and effort that goes into producing coffee more than I did before. The animals were so cute and I loved seeing how free range and happy the chickens are - to many more chicks making it even busier soon! I felt very lucky to be able to see and hold the bunny babies and Silkie chicks and turkeys. Of course I couldn’t leave out Callie and Rocky who I absolutely had soft spots for.

I had such a fun time with Alan and we made a good team working on the farm and doing our various jobs. Thank you Alan for keeping me entertained with playing games and including me with your cousins which was so fun, as well as being a very useful translator and telling me lots of facts about Guatemala and the area and nature.

Leslie, I know we had a lot more to say to each other (or at least I did) but I really enjoyed spending time working together and I hope one day I can return and have worked on my Spanish so more of my personality comes out and we can communicate in more than grunts 🤣 Such a power woman!

Keith I loved working on the farm with you and although we weren’t physically together, it was so peaceful out there doing our jobs and coming together to chat about random things or religion or being back home. It was super nice to learn all about you and things you had to say. (Also nice to bond over not understanding most of the conversation around us 🙈).

And Maria you have such a big, kind and generous heart which I can see why so many people call you mum. (And dad to you Keith too). Thank you for being so open with showing me your passion and including me with all of your family, I felt very privileged to be able to share that.

Please tell all the kids that they were so kind and fun, I’m keeping my necklaces safe and that hopefully I’ll be back one day to play again. And Maria your mums cooking that I tried really was so so delicious :)

But this was such an authentic experience that I’m so grateful to have had as it feels so important to me to experience more than just tourist stops when I’m travelling. Being able to contribute in my small way was so rewarding and I thoroughly enjoyed myself with your family being so generous to me. And of course trying so much delicious traditional Guatemalan food that I otherwise probably wouldn’t have.

Thank you so much and I hope that everything continues to grow and develop on the farm and with your mission.

(Excellent)
