Description
I am an altruistic, creative, humble, independent and vibrant woman with a passion for traveling, working with children, helping others, and living life to the fullest. I am originally from San Francisco, California, although I have moved around a great deal and have lived in several dozen different living situations & places throughout the USA. In late 2013, I left for my first solo trip abroad and haven't looked back since. Internationally, I have traveled to over 30 countries on six continents, and plan on seeing heaps more. I am hoping to continue to enjoy WorkAway opportunities along the way as a means to meet new people, use my skills & creativity to assist in whatever way possible, become immersed in various cultures, and continue to experience this great, beautiful world.

What else ...
I live simply & humbly, and am generally low-maintenance. I am comfortable with nearly any sleeping situation, whether it be in a tent, shared dorms, a hammock (I have my own!), or even a king-size bed in a private suite ;) I pride myself in being open-minded, helpful, patient, humble and empathetic. I really don't fear much, and love to learn. During down time, I tend to keep to myself (whether it means reading a book, taking photos, exploring my surroundings, cooking a meal, or simply relaxing), although I can be quite social when the occasion calls for it. I'm well-mannered, respectful, and will try just about anything once.

If you have an opportunity to spend time here with Karr, Ivan, Jhune Rey and the pups - DO IT!

Such a sirene, peaceful location within minutes walking of the beach. Super laid-back vibes, great conversation, delicious food, and beautiful souls to share it with. Karr is truly an inspiration; her initiatives and involvement with the youth of the… read more

Although it has taken me (way) too long to write about how amazing this family is, their kindness and hospitality is something I will never forget. Lisa, Kevin, Daisy & Bella immediately welcomed me into their home (and hostel!) and made me feel comfortable from the first time we met. The girls were well-behaved & well-mannered, and very easy… read more

If I could rate this WorkAway more than five stars, I absolutely would. Rob & Deb opened their BEAUTIFUL property and welcomed me with open arms immediately upon arrival. During a time that I was recovering from a serious health scare, they were kind, understanding, supportive and empathetic. The positive energy and love that fills their home &… read more

If there were a five-star rating, this WorkAway experience would receive it. I could write an essay about how fulfilling, fun, and fantastic my time spent here was. I spent six weeks at camp, and somehow, the time flew by and by the time it my final day, I truly was not ready to leave. The camp offers you the flexibility to teach English, play… read more

My favorite WorkAway experience thus far, for a multitude of reasons! First off, the property is located in the beautiful wine country outside of Mendoza - the landscape, scenery... even though the weather wasn't ideal, the location is absolutely stunning. The earthship & up-and-coming community being built are going to be such an amazing &… read more

It was great to have Brie with us. She's an amazing person in a very altruistic pursuit to make the world a better place that we all admire. She's extremely considerate, thoughtful, and helped us a lot during her stay. We look forward to her coming back some day!

Let me just say, if you are in needing a place to stay in La Ceiba (whether just overnight in order to catch the ferry early morning, or for an extended visit to explore the beautiful area), you should absolutely stay at this hostel... and even better if you can volunteer / coordinate a WorkAway! Mario & Julio are fantastic hosts: welcoming,… read more

Unique experience! David's farm is completely off-the-grid (about eight or so miles from town), so be prepared for a rustic, no-luxury type of stay... something we all need once in a while! Keep in mind there is very limited WiFi, no electricity or running water - but three meals a day, an absolutely stunning view of the night sky, and six… read more
