Travelling
Description

Howdy! I'm Micah, an online college student from Virginia who loves to explore the western US accompanied by my old Ford Focus and my guitar. Laura's an openminded adventurer from Pennsylvania who I met doing seasonal work in Alaska. We love meeting people and learning about culture and history, exploring nature, and eating lots of food. During the past year, we've traveled together extensively, either by living out of my car or doing Workaways/seasonal gigs. Laura and I have made some incredible memories together, from the rainy beaches of Alaska to the ruthless Mojave Desert. We're excited for the next phase of our roadtrip and for all the bizarre pictures and late nights and sketchy gas stations that await.

Laura and I had a wonderful stay with Debra and Eric! We had the chance to housesit for them and take care of their huge, conniving cat Benji while they went camping. Their neighborhood is adorable and within easy walking distance of downtown Whitefish. We had plenty of time to explore the town and nearby Glacier while we were there. Debra and … read more

Micah and Laura helped us for two weeks and tackled some pretty nasty and dirty jobs…. barn mucking, mowing and weed eating, housecleaning, and turning over our bnb cabins. They were responsible, hard working, reliable and all those quality traits one would appreciate in Workaway help. A couple exceptional qualities both Micah and Laura displayed … read more

Linda and Phil are some of the coolest people we've stayed with yet! Laura and I spent two weeks with them in the Bitterroot Mountains this past month. We got to live out of their cute travel trailer and work at our own pace. We cleaned out the barn, helped disassemble Phil's once-magnificent greenhouse, and mowed the lawn many times over. We had … read more

We spent almost a month with Chris and Elana, my longest Workaway stint yet, and it was well worth it! During our stay, Laura and I made cheese, milked goats, gained hands-on experience preparing delicious food, and learned from Chris and Elana about their philosophy and way of life. Their mud house is spacious and comfortable, and their property … read more

Micah and Laura were awesome. They arrived 2 days before we went away on a 9 day trip. In that time, they had to learn how to take care of our entire farm, milk goats, make cheese, care for poultry, water the garden, and care for the house and dogs. They stayed for almost a month and were responsible, trustworthy, hard working, friendly, … read more

Laura and I really enjoyed our stay with Logan and Ann! We spent a week with them while shopping for apartments in Charlottesville back in October, and it couldn’t have gone any better. Their house is adorable, and their neighborhood is quiet and quaint, and we were both impressed by the garden, which is absolutely gorgeous even in the fall! We … read more

Micah was such a great help on the trails, lifting heavy things (and putting them down again) He really did great as a roommate to the 4 baby chicks. He read a ton of books and it was fun to visit about them. He worked hard and efficiently, coming from a rural upbringing, he was a joy to work with!
And very fun to tell stories to😉

I stayed with Peg for two weeks, and it was a blast. I loved living off-grid and enjoyed the peace and the (mostly) quiet nights. Peg lives in a beautiful part of the country surrounded by National Forest land with plenty of space to roam and ramble, which I took full advantage of. I enjoyed her company and conversation and all the wisdom she … read more

Colin is an awesome host! Laura and I only spent a week with him, but we wish it had been longer. His retreat is a very magical space, and it felt like a great privilege to be able to work with him on improving it. We loved the area too - Idyllwild is a gorgeous little town that feels worlds away from all the madness of Southern California. We … read more

Micah and Laura are great people. They were lots of help with every task I asked of them. they are a very nice young couple that works very well together any host would be lucky to have them come stay with them. Good luck on your journey.

Tim is an awesome host! Laura and I really enjoyed the two weeks we spent at his place in Northern Cali. We mowed, gardened, split logs, and became burgeoning firewood-stacking professionals. We loved getting to know Stella and the cats, and took lots of careful notes from Tim on travelling and life and nature and everything else. Living off-grid … read more

Bud and Carol are awesome hosts! My stay was short, but really memorable. They both have a wealth of wisdom and information, and are wonderful and kind people. The setting is incredible too, with a handful of state and national parks just a short drive away, and a beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of large red rocks and cliffs! Paco is … read more

This is late, but sincere. Micah stayed with us for only a week, but we enjoyed his company. He jumped right in and helped me get some of my garden planted, and here it is 4 months later and I'm harvesting that garlic and potatoes! He is quiet and polite, and very well-read. Because our guest room was already spoken for when he contacted us, Micah … read more

BG and Lynn are top-tier hosts, and I really enjoyed the time I spent with them. Montana and the Helena valley is breathtakingly gorgeous, even in winter. It was a pleasure getting to meet them (and Bella the dog), and unfortunately the two weeks I spent with them passed very quickly. They’re intelligent and compassionate folks, and BG, besides … read more

We greatly enjoyed getting to know Micah during his stay with us. He's a hard worker and a quality young man! We enjoyed our meals and conversations together as well as working side by side outside in what turned out to be a VERY cold spell (down to 20 below at one point!!) but Micah soldiered on without complaint! We highly recommend Micah for … read more

Not only are Chuck and Karla excellent hosts, but they’re excellent people too. The ten days I spent with them was my first Workaway experience, and it couldn’t have gone any better. Right from the start, Chuck and Karla made me feel at home. During my time with them, I learned about forest management, how to start a gasoline fire without losing … read more
