Description

Mother/Daughter team: Miriam could only be described as having the gentlest of spirits while possessing a level of profound dedication, rigorous work ethic and tenacity for any project that is unarguably extraordinary. Her passionate love of animals recently reunited her with a childhood favorite, horses, for which she offered her time so lovingly as a volunteer at the Marion Therapeutic Riding Association for children with disabilities. She was promoted to Team Leader, assisted in the Florida Special Olympics and is Protective Behavior trained. She also volunteered at the Marion County Humane Society and was an ongoing support to her grandparents maintaining 7 acres of forest property in Ocala, Florida. She is no stranger to knives, axes, machetes, tractors, fork lifts, power tools and the occasional hammer.

We're primarily self employed and manage 5 Airbnb Superhost listings on our 3 generation, family owned 7 acre ranchette in Ocala Florida. We're both very familiar with all of the chores and maintenance that go along with managing forested land, livestock and rental properties. This is one of our new themed listings: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/42446325?preview_for_ml=true&source_impression_id=p3_1645186468_p1ltgZSOTMfMf5Cm

What else ...

Miriam and I (Tiffany) are traveling as a mother- daughter team. Upon the recognition that many of our dreams had already come true, Miriam and I were inspired to assist others in the fulfillment of their own personal dreams. This motivation brings with it an exceptional quality of satisfaction that is, well, the avant garde of rewarding social endeavors. Challenging the archaic notion of "cash is king," our aim is to tap into a new kind of currency- one rooted in a desire to approach all people truthfully and to broaden our understanding of what it truly means to share. The Workaway philosophy affords us the opportunity to approach the root of what it is to be human. Going beyond the standardized norms of personal aspirations and successes, we have determined that through sharing our time and energy with others we are coming closer to determining the truth of who we are and why we are here.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Side notes:

*️️️️️️️️️️️️ The early morning hours are our optimal time to work. We are the proverbial "early to bed, early to rise" pair. Consequently we would be better suited for those hosts who are in need of early risers, not night owls. Please bear this in mind if considering us.

*️*️ Also we do have a vehicle so no concerns there.
