Description

There's so much world to see, and never feels like enough time to see it all! In between times on my parent's farm in Canada I love to travel to new places to learn, experience new things, and invest in relationships with the people I meet. I am an aspiring writer who enjoys hard work and meaningful connections.

More details about your skills

I'm a quick learner, and always eager to learn what I don't know! I have worked housekeeping and front desk at a hotel, so I'm comfortable with those roles. I have some experience teaching and tutoring, and I love helping others to learn. I'm good at public speaking and writing, and have a pretty good eye for painting - not so much beautiful pictures, but if you need a wall or a fence done, I'm your girl! I love animals and they seem to like me as well - I've cared for regular pets like cats and dogs, as well as pigs, poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks), sheep and goats. I have some experience gardening as well. Like I said, I'm eager to learn and always willing to lend a hand in any way I can!

We were really happy to welcome Rachel!
Since she first applied until she could come, and even after, we stayed in touch regularly and we were always connected.
She was very patient with the students, using Japanese words for them to feel more comfortable and encouraging them to use English as well. Got along well with all the volunteers at the … read more

My time with the Club in Fukuoka was even better than I expected! The communication leading up to my arrival was great, and I really appreciate the hard work that's gone into making clear explanations and even video tutorials for arriving, for activities, and even for getting to the various locations such as the school campuses. The staff were all … read more

Rachel was an ideal workawayer and a real testament to the program and its success. People like Rachel is what makes this work.
Rachels character most of all will be missed. She was always positive and respectful and never complained about a task or difference of opinion on how a task could or should be performed. Peter in particular will miss … read more

I spent a wonderful month with Peter and Mayu, enjoying the scenery, the company, and the relaxing environment. Most of the work while I was there involved painting, with some extra tasks organizing or moving items and doing some odd jobs, and since I was there during a very busy time (Obon) I also got the chance to help with cleaning and … read more

I spent almost a month in Shimoda and was so sad to leave! Angela and Yasu are absolutely lovely and were really great at communicating before and throughout the time I was there. They are very welcoming and we had several dinners with them and all of us working there; they really go above and beyond. The work is quite straightforward; they train … read more

Gideon is very professional and passionate about helping the students at the school get the best opportunities and learning experiences possible. Volunteers are able to find ways that they can best contribute and you will learn a lot.

I had a great time here! Riaan and all the other staff, as well as local friends, were great. Communication was good and Riaan was sure to look out for me when it came to picking me up and making sure I had everything I needed. Wilderness is a beautiful spot, and I’m glad I got to spend almost two months there! It’s a very laid-back hostel - … read more

Merlo is a great city, with fabulous nature right at your doorstep. I loved the fact that the hostel feels out in the wilderness even though it’s right in town. Good location to walk and get food or so on. Pretty laid-back place, there was one busy weekend while I was there - Easter weekend - which had lots happening into the late night. I … read more
