Description
Hello hello! My name is Angel and I'm from rural Iowa. I've been able to travel and live abroad, so I feel pretty familiar working with new people in different places doing a wide variety of tasks. I like working hard, but also really enjoy hanging out and getting to know the people around me. As for Workaway, I feel very comfortable with the exchange and really enjoy all it has to offer. I love animals and being able to cook for people too!

More details about your skills
I love being outside and am good at gardening, landscaping, general manual labor, light machinery (drills, lawn mowers, edge cutters) and working with all sorts of animals. I also have experience helping in kitchens, as a server, and in housekeeping. Working hard is important to me, but relaxing and laughing while getting to know others in the evening keeps me alive and grounded. In terms of 'hard' skills or physical work, I'm interested in opportunities to work on my carpentry skills and continuing my knowledge on sustainable living/gardening. As for the social side of this lovely exchange program, I can only hope to keep learning how this world works while hearing everyone's stories:)

INCREDIBLE. I love this Farm and think of this gem of a place frequently! The lack of feedback by the numbers really does not properly reflect this well-established volunteering haven.

I was here for two weeks in December with my partner Charlie and had a great time! Jon and Yasmeen are a kind couple with lots of compassion. They have a adorable little slice of hobby farm heaven close to Little River. I didn't work on the retreat, but stayed at the house and was essentially a groundkeeper during the day! Feeding animals,… read more

We LOVED having Charlie and Angel stay and work for us. We wanted them to live here forever! They were so competent, so independent, listen to instructions, had so much common sense, and always went the extra mile. We would have adopted them given the chance!

I was here for two weeks in late Sept/early Oct and loved it! Pat, Mandy, Shasa, and Tierra (+Ponga the sweet, playful dog!) are a beautiful family and provided a home away from home for me.

Angel is a great worker and capable of just about any job asked of her which is a great help and much appreciated. She is willing to give any job a go with a smile on her face. I am glad that she is now more experienced cooking with real vegetables and non processed meat. I am pleased to say that internet is now available in the cottage.

I stayed at Carolann's during the end of the blueberry picking season in March. Work was very fair: picking blueberries, splitting wood, weeding, moving compost for 5 hours a day. I worked and lived with other volunteers, which was fun and rewarding! We were able to spend lots of time together...such a great way to learn about people's lives and… read more

Jenny and Maarten are such kind, marvelous hosts! My friend and I were originally going to stay two weeks, but we ended up working for almost a month on beautiful Kapowai Rd. I loved the work, as it varied almost every day and I was able to learn so much. Both Jenny and Maarten are super knowledgeable about their work and love to share and learn… read more

Woah! What an amazing place! Claudia and Danny are incredibly giving humans and truly thrive with a hard-working, committed team by their side. I spent the month of January at the winery and loved it! Some days were super busy and long, but ohh so worth it! Danny and Claudia take great care in their workers with stellar company and delicious food.… read more

OH MY where to start?? Nic and Mike were seriously excellent hosts. The tasks for the day were well-organized and always made me feel accomplished, no matter what the size. The work itself seemed to be pretty diverse, from feeding the adorable animals to weeding patches to learning a new Moroccan plaster technique! I really enjoyed being able to… read more

It was a pleasure to host Angel. She works hard and is very entertaining.
I was able to delagate jobs to her straight away and she learned some tricky things very quickly - such as how to milk the goat. She also cooked some interesting meals from the Enchanted Broccoli Forest cook book...
