Description
I experienced my first workaway in 2017 when I traveled to Costa Rica to enjoy the sunshine and way of life there. I loved the spirit of community and the idea of work exchange. I felt inspired to continue my travels through Ireland for one year. I stayed with wonderful hosts and worked in many different settings. I worked at a bed and breakfast, helped families with their children, assisted with decluttering and redecoration, helped with building projects, lived in an intentional living community and loved my time abroad.

In 2020, another adventure brought me to Puerto Rico where I found a lush farm to experience the joy of work exchange. I feel this kind fo travel is the ideal way to get lost in the the spirit of a new setting. I enjoy helping people and learning new skills, especially those related to natural building and the arts.

I am so grateful to have found so many wonderful hosts through this site and I am looking to connect with more people that will help me grow in new areas.

I am hardworking, adaptable, and personable; I love to chat and learn new things.

I have been so touched by the generosity and kindness I have been met with from my hosts so far. I enjoy working with my hands and love to help with design, sewing, building, childcare, or gardening work. I genuinely love cooking for people and love to share meals with new friends!

My time traveling has been amazing so far and I have been loving the adventure. I am eager to see what is next!

Noelene was a fabulous host! Bursting with creativity and laughter, her spirit is infectious. In her colorful cottage, I helped her with room redecoration, cleaning, cooking, and helped take care of her two cuddly dogs. She took me into Castlebar, Westport, and Ballina where I could freely pop into local shops and cafes as I pleased. We had fun… read more
