Description
Hello! I'm Alyssa and I am motivated to get out of my comfort zone, learn new skills, and meet new people. I'm currently living in Tunisia and studying Arabic intensively and French part-time. I work part-time on the weekends.

I have experience in a variety of domains and lots of experience with both Wwoofing (organic farming) and with workaway exchanges.

In my free time, I enjoy watching French series, listening to podcasts, riding my bike, cooking, and reading.

I stayed with the Carine, Florian, and their daughter during the summer of 2023. It was beautiful, the work was fun, and the people were great. I got to help with serving guests a bit, doing dishes, gardening, taking care of the donkeys, etc. It was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend them to other workawayers. They were also really… read more

Amazing workaway host! Selim has extensive experience as a workawayer so he understands things from both the volunteers' and host's perspective. He is more than willing to adapt to each volunteers' needs. His work is fun, enjoyable, and enriching. He really cares about his community and has been working for years to contribute in big and small… read more

This family is so amazing, not only as a Workaway experience but also just a really lovely example of a warm and caring family unit. They were really motivated to work on English with me and were also thoughtful in speaking French as well so I could practice. My favorite moments were playing Crazy Time ( a board game) with them and going rock… read more

We were very happy to host Alyssa ! She stayed one week with us, helping in the house with gardening, english, walking our dog ... Alyssa is nice, hard working, respectful and easy to live with. I really appreciate discussing with her, and she also easily engage conversation with our daughters.

Left by host (Help with our son/daily ...) for Workawayer (Alyssa)

Alyssa helped us during December '21, with quite cold (for greek standards) weather. She tried very much to take care of our house and follow our routine and habits, which is always a challenge.
The big surprise for me was the easy-going and amazingly efficient way to spend time with my son, a way that helped him to improve his language skills in… read more

The managers here have the volunteer program very well run. Communication, schedule, rules and norms, etc. are well articulated. The love for cats is palpable and the cats have a really great place to stay while they are on the mend awaiting adoption. I appreciated that there were often opportunities for other volunteer outings like beach clean up… read more

Alyssa was quick to integrate into the unique community and schedule of life aboard the Cutter in Provincetown MA. Her quick wit and keen observational skills were an asset to our team while we were undergoing strenuous coast guard certifications. Her diverse ability set made her able to fit into any job that was given to her. Her easy mannered… read more

I was lucky enough to work with Erin, Josh, Travis, and Mark in Provincetown, MA where the cutter is docked for the summer. I was completely new to boats and sailing and everyone was very patient with me, teaching me a ton about the history of wooden tall ships, some basics on sailing, varnish and polish work, and a bit on the business management… read more

Alyssa was a great guest! Communication was great and she was very respectful of the house and our space. Alyssa worked very hard on all projects given to her. It was HOT here in SLC, and she built me a beautiful stone walkway and weeded the community farm plot. We had fun with Alyssa at a lake day in the mountains and had great conversations… read more

Prior to my stay, Emilie responded to communications the same day and with thought which gave me confidence for my visit. While I was there, she continued to communicate promptly and explicitly which I really appreciated.

Her co-housing community is special and worth visiting. The community has chickens, alpacas, and a garden plot. Emilie also… read more
