Description
Hello there! I graduated high school last year and I’ve travelled Canada for 7 months right after that. Now I want to keep going on adventures and meet new people with different backgrounds.
Besides the natural landscape and nature diversity, I want to travel Central America to get to know new cultures, ways of life, as well as ways of thought.
I want to make experiences which teach me to step out of my comfort zone. I am also interested in maintaining a sustainable lifestyle, since humankind‘s future is something I care about:) Another goal of mine is to better my english and spanish knowledge, of course!
I like to play the guitar, draw, paint, read, run, play tennis, and try all kinds of sport you can do in- and outside. I enjoy going on day trips through nature.
My travels through North America helped me grow, and I want to have more of that!
I am excited about what this journey has to offer:)

I had a really great time at at Tressa's. She was a big help for arranging my travels and communication was always easy. Tressa was very flexible with my time of arrival and departure. She gave me things to do and always made sure that I had other options in case the task given was too hard, which I appreciated.

I can't believe I forgot to give this feedback. If you read the numerous other feedbacks you will already know that Mara is an amazing person that you want to have around. She does everything with such enthusiasm and a giant smile on her face. I hope you are doing very well, Mara. You are probably the president by now.

My time at Tyler's and Zenovia's was awesome!
My main job was gardening, which I liked a lot. Tyler gave me a variety of tasks to choose from, so that I am not stuck doing the same thing all day. We also did some harvesting on sunny days and some cooking and baking on rainy days. They never asked for too much.
Zenovia, Tyler and Metro made me… read more

We loved having Mara on the farm, she is a really energetic and hardworking person. She was always eager to learn and to be of service. Any moment she wasn't working she would ask us what needed to be done and we really appreciate that. She is also a very kind and gentle soul, anyone would love to have her as part of the team.

I spent two and a half weeks here and had an eye-opening time with a lot of learning experiences and time to relax. Justin and Paulina are incredibly „real“ people. The communication was always easy. They were honest and appreciated my work. I also loved spending time with them in our free time. They told me about spirituality, introduced me to… read more

Mara was amazing! She was always smiling, in a good mood, motivated, helped hard and was willing to learn new things and help with anything. We had a great time adventuring as well and I would recommend her to anyone as she is like a ray of sunshine!

My stay at Jamie‘s was amazing.
The work she wanted me to do was never too hard or too much. Some tasks I did by myself, others were two-peple jobs, so we worked on them together.
Jamie introduced me to her friends and family, which I am unbelievably grateful for. I met SO many awesome people of the Haida Gwaii community! Jamie really made an… read more

It is hard to put in words how amazing my stay at Tracy's and Maurice's was. I'll do my best.
They made me feel like a part of their family from minute one and we had an open communication throughout my entire stay. I loved spending time with them and their daughters. We laughed a lot together and I appreciated their humor.

Mara is an amazing individual. Her three-week stay was too short, as we felt a huge hole in our family when she left. We miss her energy, enthusiasm, sense of humor, light-heartedness, laughter, and friendship, and having someone on our team so capable and willing. Workwise, she cared so much about the final output she'd rather see something done… read more

I had an awesome time with Pam, Dave, the kids and Casper (the cat). They made me feel like a part of their big happy family from day one.
I was involved in gardening, painting, watching the kids, cooking, cleaning, apple picking, but most of all: fun activities! I was lucky to get the opportunity to go hiking, kayaking, surfing, and much more.… read more

I had a lot of fun during my stay at Andreanne's! She is a very funny, open and hard-working person. Since she herself has some Workaway experience, she knew what to do to give a Workawayer an amazing experience. She encouraged me to make me feel at home and as a part of the family. Work was easy and fun! Even outside of work, she invited me to… read more

My stay at Cheryl‘s was amazing.
Cheryl always let me choose between several tasks and let me decide when I do them. Work was never hard, but always enjoyable, because she never demanded too much. I was able to structure my day the way I wanted to, which I really appreciated.
Cheryl took care of my dietary needs and the food was always healthy… read more

I loved the time I got to spend at Sue‘s. I felt welcomed right from the start.
I enjoyed doing the work that needed to be done and everything she asked me to do was definitely manageable. (Those tasks were mostly weeding, cleaning the windows and scrubbing.) She let me work on my own pace, which took a lot of pressure off of me.

Mara wasn't with me very long and I wished she could have stayed longer. She was an excellent guest and helper and I really enjoyed her company. I was sad to see her leave and also excited for her and her journey. She was self-motivated and when I didn't give her a task she found something to do. She did the tasks well and thoroughly and was good… read more

Mara spent three weeks at my place and we had a great time together. She was very energetic and always was motivated to do a great job at the various tasks we worked on, be it painting, weeding, prepping meals, whatever. She appreciated all the hikes I took her on and she really bonded with Esther the dog. Any host would be lucky to have her!

I had a WONDERFUL time at Suzanne‘s.
Most of the work we did in my three weeks at her’s was in the garden. We got everything „ready for summer“, which included weeding, planting, watering and mowing. I enjoyed working with her since she created a really comfortable environment. Esther was a contribution to that as well:)
Even during my off-time… read more
