Travelling
Description
Change the world, or change how I live in it?
Hi! I'm a 27-year old, from Iowa, USA. Following a 2-year volunteer program working in a coastal village in Timor-Leste, I'll be slow travelling throughout Europe and Asia from April to mid-November, 2025. Having tried out the 4-day city hopping type of travel, I've realized that taking my time and developing a sense of community is more my style. Although Workaway can save money, my main focus is the deeper cultural integration travelling through Workaway can provide.
I bring a variety of skills to the table:
- Website design, tech support, and social media management (I run my own business)
- Teaching English (TEFL certified) and coaching
- Hospitality experience in restaurants and hotels
- Construction and handy work
I’m also a quick learner, eager to pick up new skills, especially in farmwork and cooking.
Some other info on me -
- In my downtime, I enjoy exercising, meditating, reading, and diving into creative projects (you can check out some of them here: https://kylescheer.com/#projects).
- I want to explore simple living, building community, and different ways of seeing the world and our place in it (spiritual practices)
- Not a picky eater (although working to handle spices better). Love trying new fruits
I look forward to working with you to create a meaningful and mutually beneficial experience. If you'd like we can arrange a call beforehand to confirm we have shared expectations and make sure it's a good fit.

Staying at Anïl's was amazing! It was my first experience through the Workaway platform, and I couldn’t be happier!
The short of it: come here, it was exactly what I hoped for and more. Anïl has built a relaxing and idyllic atmosphere at his farm.

Kyle brought so much positive energy, strength, and determination to the farm. He’s both strong and quick-thinking, which made even the toughest jobs much easier. I really appreciated how he tackled every task with a smile. Working with him was not only productive but also a lot of fun.
