Description
Hello, my name is Lemar and I'm so happy to be embarking on this workaway journey!
For years it's been my dream to travel the world in such a way as to immerse myself in the area I'm visiting.. to connect with diverse people and absorb new skills, cultures and different ways of thinking and being on this beautiful planet.

I'm a mum to two awesome young men, who are now off on their own adventures.. this has created the space for me to step into a new phase of my life and I'm keen to explore, learn and expand my horizons.
A holistic therapist by vocation, I'm passionate about all aspects of natural medicine and healing but as a single mum I've had to turn my hand to many different tasks and many different ways of supplementing my income and I find I quite enjoy the interesting variety this has brought to my life.

Books are my absolute favorite things, second only (perhaps.. sometimes 😉) to children and animals of all shapes 'n sizes. And music of course, goes without saying!
I love being in nature, vibrant cities and everything in between and am open to any new adventure that presents itself. 🌈✨️

I've been blessed to spend 2 decades caring for and entertaining two active boys and their myriad pets and friends and find I particularly enjoy teenagers. Go figure 😄.
I volunteered extensively as Communications and Events Co-ordinator at our local Waldorf /Steiner school while my children were students. This included liaising between parents and teachers, organising events and meetings, hosting and prepping events and generally assisting as needed.
I'm also no stranger to a bit of DIY, home renovations and gardening.

There was rain, wind, sheep, sun, long muddy walks through beautiful countryside, more sheep, gregarious guests, gorgeous beaches and mousecapades galore..

Lemar is a Workaway volunteer of the highest order and one of the nicest, most interesting people you could wish to meet. She is kind, witty, is a great conversationalist and has a calm bearing to her. She also has a great work ethic.

I spent 2 months in Stirling, looking after Monika's pretty home and the 3 dogs who, while quite a boisterous handful, are friendly and lovable.
There is a wonderful natural area of fields and river just minutes away from the house and I spent many a happy hour walking with the dogs there and enjoying the gorgeous views of the Castle and Wallace… read more

Lemar has been absolutely amazing. She was left in charge of the house and eventually three large dogs, which was not easy as they are a true handful. We all loved her and did not want her to leave. She is a hard worker, resourceful and flexible and helpful in every way she can be. On top of it she is a very interesting person with a wonderful… read more

Lemar is amazing! If you are lucky enough to have her stay you will not be disappointed. She is kind, intuitive and flexible. She is very respectful of our home and the space she lived in. Lemar is an excellent cook and just jumped in to help with everything. She even noticed how I stack the dishwasher and followed suit! Lamar was happy to work… read more

I truly cannot express how blessed I feel to have stayed with Kathryn and her lovely family. They took me in when I was ill and immediately made me feel so welcome and safe that I felt I had found a home away from home.
Kathryn went out of her way to provide plentiful vegetarian food options, she took me out and about and 'checked in' with me… read more
