Description
Hi friends!! My name is Leah and I am a 23 year old recent grad. After taking a gap year from college and moving to Honduras, I realized how much traveling fed my soul and want to see more of the world. I love feeling connected to nature and living a simple life but also enjoy spending time in cities exploring cafes, thrift stores, good food, and sights. I am passionate about learning more about the world - art, yoga, spirituality, gardening, sustainable living and other cultures all interest me immensely. I have nannied for years, dabble in cooking and love to hike and run. I feel very passionately (like many others do) that life goes by too fast at times in the US. I want to slow down and truly live, learn, and immerse myself in new cultures that allow me to better understand myself and the world around me.

Left by host (Find inspiration at our house ...) for Workawayer (Leah)

We so enjoyed hosting Leah. Very observant, responsive and self-disciplined, she easily fitted into our routine and performed her tasks competently and effectively, but above all, her happy, optimistic, steady presence made every interaction a pleasure. Our many discussions were interesting and we learned from both her thoughts and her actions… read more

Tia and Eyal welcomed me into their home for 2 weeks with open arms. Both of these humans are so well-traveled and knowledgeable about a whole host of different areas which allowed us to have so many stimulating conversations. I was the only workawayer at the time so although a lot of my work was spent alone, I am quite introverted so this was not… read more

I hosted Leah during the olive harvest in October 2023 and I can recommend Leah for other host. Her nice and friendly manner contributed to a very good mood and atmosphere.

I spent most of my work time on the olive farm harvesting olives and the other work time was split between cooking and house chores. Although the harvest work was physically… read more
