Description
I am a musician and I love traveling for inspiration to write new songs. For a long time I was a hairstylist, and then I studied to become a mental health counselor. I enjoy traveling because I can meet new people and learn about different cultures. Languages are very important to me. As a hobby, I am studying a few all the time. I have volunteered at 14 Workaway locations.

Francesca was a very kind host and also a good boss. I stayed in Taormina for one month with her and I was very proud to accomplish a lot during that time. She was always telling me to take a break and drink some coffee or tea. Not to work too hard. She really cares about people and wants them to be happy I think.

Max is one of the most accessible people you'll ever meet. So easy to get along with, so open-minded and chill and fun. He's a determined worker with multiple talents, and he makes friends with everyone--the whole family and all the other workawayers too.

I stayed here for five weeks and it was very relaxing. It is very isolated which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what type of person you are. I read a lot of books while I was here. There are many animals to see and the big ocean is obviously beautiful. The Galapagos in general is a very interesting place. I will never forget it.
