Description
Hello, and thanks in advance for considering me! I've been nomadic since August 2019, volunteering where and when I can. I'm passionate about the outdoors and nature and am always looking for opportunities with conservation and reforestation. I'm interested in learning more about permaculture, gardening, composting, construction, and sustainable living. I have an affinity with animals and love being around and working with them, and they tend to like me too. I'm an experienced house and pet sitter, I volunteered at my local animal shelter in Los Angeles, and I spent 5 weeks volunteering at a wildlife rescue in Central America. I'm curious about the world, active, athletic, and I bring a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to any project. I LOVE eating and trying new cuisines, I will happily consume whatever is placed in front of me. (I'm somewhat less accomplished at cooking, though I can whip out a few recipes upon demand.) I'm friendly, outgoing, patient, and a good conversationalist who also knows when to stop talking. I tend to keep things neat and tidy. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity and ability to travel, I do not take it for granted. I appreciate your hospitality and look forward to working with you!

Dianne and Nancy are two of the kindest, most generous souls I've had the privilege of meeting. I loved my time with them and I hope to go back in the not-too-distant future. They are an invaluable source of information about homesteading, gardening, food preservation, fire-prevention and living close to nature. They patiently answered every one… read more

Christie was a pleasure to host. Laughter comes easily to her, so she makes everyday activities fun. She is easy to talk to and has had a wealth of interesting experiences, so conversation flowed easily. She's energetic and in good physical shape -- she exercised every morning before breakfast. A hard worker, she plunged into every activity… read more

When Christie says she "bring(s) a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to any project", she isn't kidding!!! Christie is hands-down one of the most enthusiastic people I've ever met, and her positive energy and can-do attitude are a huge asset in everything she tackles. She's eager to learn as much as she can about everything and is willing to try… read more

This was my first Workaway experience and the bar was set so high I fear anything that follows shall be a disappointment! Janice and Paul are the kindest, funnest, most generous hosts possible. As former teachers, they're extremely patient and excellent at explaining things, especially if you show a genuine interest in homesteading. I learned so… read more
