More details about your skills

Hello! My name is Lisa. I’m a psychiatric/correctional nurse by training, and never grow tired of seeing the world from a new perspective. Though I am from the US (born and raised in Philadelphia, adult life in California), I am currently studying for a Master’s degree in Amsterdam (Culture, Organization, and Management). I love to travel as often as my schedule allows, as my true passion lies in developing an understanding of culture through its food, people, and the ups-and-downs of travel!

I am self-motivated, independent, extremely organized, and willing to learn any skill you are willing to teach - one should never stop learning!

I am grateful to have the opportunity to explore culture through hard work, food, conversation, and cultural exchange. I enjoy living an active and healthy lifestyle. I can provide additional references from TrustedHousesitters, as well. I look forward to speaking with you to see how we may work together :)

My stay with Antonio and his team was welcoming right from the start! The work was varied, and if you come with a willing mindset, there is a lot to be learned here. I stayed for just one week, but would have happily stayed for a month to more fully embrace the lifestyle and take on larger projects. Antonio is an eager and patient teacher. Come … read more

Despite being here just one week, Lisa helped us with plenty of small projects and quickly learned how to milk goats (in which she is naturaly talented). Thanks to her more than positive approach to any kind of work it was a real pleasure to have her here. 🙂 She is great with animals, kids an other human beings. Lisa was also brave enough to … read more

What an absolute treat it was to spend time learning from Libor and Anna!! They were both very patient teachers, willing and eager to share their knowledge with me. They involved me in many projects, even if the task could have been completed more quickly without my “help” :-P Thank you for going out of your way to prepare delicious and heartfelt … read more

You know that feeling when you've been traveling for what-seems-for forever and you are DESPERATE for a little slice of something seemingly familiar? Suzi's place is it. She opened her home and heart to me instantly, and welcomed me into her family as if we'd known each other for years. I could never have hoped for such a wonderful way to be … read more

Where to start? Literally, where to start?

Lisa showed up on day 1 of Italian lockdown - an interesting experience for us all! We were thrown in close confinement from the very first day, and it was absolutely sustainable!

Lisa, who has never expressed a profound love for large scary black dogs or the glittery pink accessories of 9-year-old … read more
