Description

Just graduated college with a bachelors degree in Earth Science, and want to travel and experience as much as I can, first-hand, before deciding a "career path". I love playing soccer, enjoying all sorts of music, being outdoors, and meeting new people.
I just had my first workaway experience in Munich, Germany working a pop-up hostel for Oktoberfest, and am now helping a host family learn English in Turin, Italy. I plan to return to America over the holidays, and come back to continue doing workaway in Europe after the new year.

Having played team sports for most of my life, mostly soccer, but also baseball, basketball, and ultimate frisbee, I developed great leadership, organizational, and teamwork skills. Through my college coursework, I picked up skills in physical sciences like geology, hydrology biology, and chemistry. I'm a quick learner, and flexible to doing many kinds of work.

I stayed for only 8 days, but had an incredible time and was able to see the mountains, lake, and Chambery city center in that short amount of time. Helped out with some painting and sanding, Morgane and Davide were both so welcoming and generous, I would have loved to have a longer stay.

I stayed with the family for one month, and wow it was such an amazing time that I had in Turin. There was a very good balance between having personal time to explore the surroundings and historic downtown Turin areas, as well as having a lot of time to speak with and connect with Raffaela and Francesco, as well as Carlo and Fillipo. They treated … read more

Joel, according to our calculations you were an absolute star this year!
Joel was a slightly late addition to the team, however this did not hinder his ability to form deep friendships at the campsite and settle in instantly. We were blown away by his fantastic work ethic - no matter what task he was given, he gave 110% effort and absolutely … read more

This was one of the best experiences of my life, to be able to live with, work with, and get to know so many interesting and unique people in one blur of a month. The managers at camp were organized and knew what needed to be done, but not overbearing or bossy in any way, and every volunteer brought a special energy to the group, that over the … read more
