Description
I’m 32 and will be traveling to South America and then returning to North America over the next 3 years. I will be living out of a converted Toyota 4Runner with my dog, Sadie. She is a very friendly and very smart, 2 year old lab mix. We go on road trips and to the dog park often and she gets along well the dogs and people.
My Workaway experiences are from when I travelled throughout South America for the better part of 2016. This includes Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and Colombia. I mostly taught English while volunteering as I’m TEFL certified and have a college degree in English creative writing. I love language and the bridge it creates between people.

There are about 40 dogs and 40 cats.
Work starts at 7 am with walking dogs. Then the pens are cleaned. Then food and water is replaced. Some miscellaneous tasks as well, but all for the animals.
