Description
Hello! My name is Katie, and I am originally from America, but am traveling around the world in order to learn, listen, and grow. I am passionate about pushing myself out of my comfort zone, in order to grow in my empathy and awareness of the beautiful world around me. I am passionate about sustainability, and have worked on different organic farms back in my home country. I love learning new languages, and my favorite way to learn them is through interacting with speakers of other languages.

More details about your skills
I have been incredibly lucky to have been a part of five workaways before, and have gained invaluable experience from each. I have worked on three different farms, where I helped with various tasks related to homesteading, gardening, and construction such as building foundations and installing fences. I am a helicopter pilot and currently work with pumps for a living, and therefore have basic engine and pumped repair experience. I also have backpacking and camping experience and am happy living in touch with nature and learning more about the natural world around me. Lastly, I used to work as a pastry chef, and therefore and very comfortable in a kitchen, and happy to learn new recipes and whip something up for you, as well! Workaway has played such a positive role in my life, and I love the opportunity to interact with new people, learn about other cultures, and work as hard as I can to learn a new skill and be part of projects I admire.

Katie was an awesome, unbelievable, and staggering addition to our team (there aren’t enough positive adjetives to describe her). She went above and beyond her duties to help passengers staying at our lodge and helping around the kitchen, she cooked brilliant meals for the whole staff. She is also fierce out on the field, she helped build a new… read more

This was one of the most phenomenal experiences of my life. I have been privileged enough to participate in a few other Workaways in my life, and this was exceptional. What started as a 3 week stay turned into a 7 week stay, and I wish I could have stayed longer. The entire staff is delightful, hilarious, and supportive. The work was varied, and… read more

A great experience! You will live in a volunteer with other Workawayers, about 6-10 depending on the season. We stayed here for one week, during which we learned about the local culture, the culture of those we stayed with, and a little bit about blueberry farming. You work from 7-11:30/12:00, and have weekends off. Dety would give us money for… read more

I had the chance to live with this beautiful family in August. They live in the heart of Bratislava, and are some of the sweetest people you can meet. In the mornings, I would plan English lessons for Esra, and afterwards, we would walk around Bratislava chatting, practicing English skills, and exploring the city. We would all eat together for… read more

Although I have WWOOFed before, this was my first Workaway, and my week spent here was nothing short of magical. Berenika's family is lovely and welcoming, and there are often friends and guests in the house, making it seem very warm and inviting. This is probably the best food in all Poland. At least in my experience, the work seems more up to… read more
