Description

Hello, Hola, Hoi!! I am dual Swiss and American, relocating from Colorado to Switzerland in 2026. I am looking for a Workaway where I can settle for a while, build connections, and be helpful. I enjoy projects on the land, working with animals, building and fixing things, cooking, farming, art and creativity, and anything that involves learning and growing. I am a peaceful person, I am not shy but I am more introverted. I appreciate mutual clear communication, authenticity, and respect. I am genuinely interested in people, animals, and cultures. I speak English, Spanish, understand Swiss-german, and am studying German. I have a dog that will be joining me at some point and would find it incredible if he was allowed to be at a workaday with me.

What else ...

I love learning and am a deeply curious person. I appreciate peaceful, comfortable, and calm environments and enjoy creating the same. I am a busy person who likes projects and tasks but also can easily relax with a movie, book, or to write. I enjoy conversation and social interactions but am more introverted and need alone time or quiet time. Hobbies of mine are primarily spending time with my dog, taking long walks, hiking, or enjoying rivers and lakes.
