Description
Growing up on a small farm in Western Pennsylvania I couldn't help but fall in love with the outdoors, animals, and adventure. From a young age my Mother worked hard to also introduce my siblings and me to different parts of the country, and later the world even. I love to meet new people and to experience different work experiences. I have done work exchange on a popular Organic Farm in Illinois and Pennsylvania. I have also worked seasonally in Montana as a driver and on a Guest Ranch. I would love the opportunity to travel to some new locations and offer my various skills to help others manifest their dreams, while continuing to build my skills and ideas for my own future. In recent months I have had a reinvigorated interest in Mindfulness and Meditation and would love to pursue some paths in locations building communities that also support these ideas. However, I am open to all sorts of work opportunities to broaden my horizons!

More details about your skills
While my early career ventures gravitated towards agriculture, I have since been gaining experience and interest in Hospitality and Service as well. I have done Work Trade for Angelic Organics, started a CSA project with a partner in Pennsylvania, and also built and maintained Nutrient Flow Tables for a hydroponic greenhouse that grew basil and other greens. These positions have left me with a love for hands on, hard work such as weeding, planting, harvesting, basic carpentry and other physical tasks! Working for a Guest Ranch, A family AirBNB in a Ntl Park, and most recently as a bartender at Taphouse have helped me build my repertoire in everything from Customer Service to House Keeping. I love to problem solve, get my hands dirty, and to learn as much as I possibly can.

Coming to Volunteer with Ryan and Corina has been the absolute highlight of my summer travels. I instantly felt welcome and quickly felt at home on their property here on St Croix.

My experience at this place has been unparalleled in terms of hospitality and enrichment. The work alone in such a pristine and loving environment was enough to bring one inner peace and meaning, but on top of that I was able to participate in the incredibly inspirational meditation classes. The food was always filling, healthy, and abundant. The… read more

Staying with Kris was as comfortable as staying with a friend or family member. From the very first day we felt welcome and at home. The small farm is nestled in the woods on a back road that gives you a real sense of being removed from the busy world. The surrounding area was beyond beautiful with rolling hills, wonderful ponds to visit or… read more

Andrew and his partner Agne were excellent workaways. They adapted well to their living space, the jobs that needed doing, and were grateful. Andrew comes with practical farm experience and strength and both of them a real work ethic to get it done and do it well.
