Description
Hi! My name is Blaque. :)
I am from the great outdoors of Montana. Though I loved the mountains the cold winters pushed me to California for college. I graduated from a school in San Diego with a degree in Spanish and Exercise Science.
I spent 6 monthes living in Spain with a host family so I am used to living with others and I am very respectful guest. I have been in South America the last year and have no plans to return to the United States in the near future. I don't want to return to the system of capitalism and consumerism. I have worked in many jobs with kids, have done physical labor and love customer service.
I am a very high energy person and love to be doing things and having fun.The more for me to do the happier I am, but after a long day I love to put up my hammock and relax and read. In my free time I love to be outdoors and learning new things. I think the most important thing in life is loving people well and being present! I look forward to working with you! :)
Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
I'm interested in:
Art Projects
Some knowledge of:
DIY and building projects
Eco Projects
Animal Care
Charity Work

Able to teach about:
Gardening
Babysitting and creative play

More details about your skills
Advanced level of Spanish
Hard worker- I love to do activities that take hard work, I have painted houses for a summer and am in good shape for physical labor
I adore children and the elderly. You can learn so much from them and they have the most innocent hearts. I have worked with kids in orphanages, in church settings, and babysitting. I have also taken care of the elderly at nursing homes.
All of the jobs I have held require people skills and customer service, I love to work with people and could never have a desk job where I work by myself. I am passionate about people and love to work with them and for them.
I am a super quick learner and love to learn so any skill not mentioned I am sure it can be taught!

Blaque fue una gran compañia en estos dias. No solo nos ayudo en la obra de la casa, sino tambien nos ayudo con los niños y en especial con nuestra hija que la seguia a todos lados. Fue muy dulce con los niños, respetuosa, atenta, trabajadora y dispuesta a ayudar en todo.
Gracias Blaque por estos dias compartidos y mucha suerte en el… read more

Top family! Super recommended! The recycling project is growing and can use some extra hands, the Cafe is an amazing place to hang out at the beach and meet the locals, and the daughter is the sweetest bundle of joy. I got to help make beach towels with milk bags, paint the Cafe, and watch the daughter. The family is very integrated in the… read more

What a beautiful community! I stayed one month, and it went by too fast. Here you learn so much about biodynamics and in general how to live a life more connected to the universe. It's a very healing place with amazing people. The kids are precious! Everyone helped me learn Portuguese and taught me Brazilian recipes. I got to help in the garden… read more

Blaque was very important to the project. She left her mark and smile materialized: in the work, in the s'mores on fire (hahaha) and in the videos that will surely inspire other people. She was always available to help. A brave and strong girl - who even on difficult mountain trails does not lose her good mood. A young girl with an open and gentle… read more

This project is very interesting and different than many I've been on. Getting to learn to make bricks and build a house and a dog house was an amazing experience for me. There is a lot of room for learning on your own and without too much structure. Rayllei is a great host and a crazy cheerful guy. He really makes sure you are comfortable and… read more

This was a really fun workaway. Though I only stayed a week I felt like Tarija and the hostal was my home. Gerardo is a super welcoming guy and loves to hangout and help you know the city. The work is not to hard nor exciting but it is a perfect opportunity to come rest and enjoy a peaceful town. There's a lot of vision for the soccer field and… read more

This finca is a paradise! It was so amazing becoming part of the family. The worst part of my month there was when I had to leave. I spent my time helping with things around the house, watching the kids and teaching English to the children of the community. I felt so at home at the farm and in the town. This opportunity is for anyone who has a… read more

This Workaway experience was nothing short of life changing. Libia is the best host. She is the strongest woman I’ve ever met, a great leader, and an even better cook. She always made me feel welcome and the farmers greatly appreciate the help. There is so much to learn about agroecology and permaculture while volunteering. We spent the days… read more

Casagrande has been an amazing experience. Getting to live on the beach for the last month and wake up every morning to the sunrise has been incredible. The work is very easy but in the end I wish I would have been able to help more. If you have a very laid back personality and want to be surrounded by Colombians and speak Spanish I recommend this… read more
