Description
Hola! My name is Andrew and I am from the Hudson River Valley, about 1 hour north of New York City. I grew up in the suburbs with two loving parents, two older siblings, three cats, and a golden retriever named Max. After high school, I attended West Virginia University and studied Recreation, Natural Resources, and Forestry. In university I discovered a strong love for Mother Earth, live music, meaningful friendships, community, healthy whole foods and where they derive from, cooking, and road trips. After university, I did my first work exchange (WWOOF) on a small scale organic farm/bakery in Vermont. It was one of the most powerful and beautiful experiences of my life. Since then, I have been traveling, volunteering, and working seasonal jobs. I had a previous Workaway account but it was connected to my college email which recently expired so I had to make a new account. My first Workaway host was in Asheville, North Carolina where I mostly did yard work, gardening, housekeeping, and animal care. I also had three Workaway hosts while traveling through Italy last Spring. For those hosts, I did gardening, farming, and animal care. Most recently, I have been living in Colorado. In the summer/fall I worked on a trail crew in Rocky Mountain National Park and in the winter season, I worked as a line cook at Winter Park Ski Resort. I am extremely interested in learning more about organic farming, permaculture practices, living off the grid, self-sustainability, animal care, and the Spanish Language. Can't wait to meet you, future Workaway hosts :)
