Travelling
Description

I am a Canadian-American backpacking South America for 6-8 months. I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and most recently lived in Washington D.C., where I worked in international development. After losing my job due to U.S. government funding cuts, I decided to work at a restaurant, save money, and travel. So here I am! I love hiking, knitting, and getting to know people from different cultural backgrounds. I also love spending time with animals and generally being in nature.

More details about your skills

I have experience gardening, taking care of dogs and cats, riding horses, cooking, and waitressing. Professionally I have supported and managed multimillion dollar development projects, so my organization and communication skills are excellent. I am also a fast learner and want to learn new skills through Workaway.

What else ...

Connecting with locals while traveling brings me lots of joy. It is often hard to get off the tourist track while staying in hostels, so I want to use volunteering as a means to connect more directly with the local people and culture.

I had an awesome week at Dionny’s house. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by an awesome group of volunteers along with Dionny and Alan. The work was minimal, and it felt a lot more like a homestay, mostly helping out with dishes and cleaning shared spaces. I did go into the cornfields a couple times, and I honestly wish I could have gone … read more

Jessie ha sido una excelente voluntaria a pesar de ser este su primer workaway. Amable, comunicativa, dispuesta a hacer cualquier trabajo que le encomendé, cuidó de mis perritos como si fueran suyos. Cuidó mi casa y mascotas mientras me ausenté 3 dias sin problema. Un placer haberla recibido.

Yo pasé casi 2 semanas con Vale, y fue increíble. Primero, Vale es una mujer muy amable y interesante, y me gustó mucho conocerla y aprender de su vida. Aprendí muchas palabras Chilenas también :). Su casa está colocada en un lugar maravilloso, con árboles de manzana, membrillo, higo, ciruela, y más. Sus trés perritos son muy amables.
