  • Description

    Hello and I'm excited to meet you wonderful people!

    For the past two years, I have been traveling around the U.S. doing Workaway and visiting intentional communities. Workaway is so awesome because I feel like it attracts some of the most amazing people! - people who are open minded, kind, curious, and alternative. I love connecting with these people and learning from them. I am so grateful that a platform like this exists because it allows us to learn from and exchange with each other in a way that does not involve money. Personally, it has given me the opportunity to meet amazing people, travel, learn skills, and live different cultures and ways of living that otherwise I would not be able to experience. I also love this form of travel because it is beneficial to all, and I can give back to the people and land I am visiting.

    About me:

    a free-spirited nomad who wants to live an alternative life that has a positive impact

    I was born in the U.S. and am half Korean, half white. I grew up in Cameroon till I was 13 but then my family moved back to the U.S.

    I enjoy curiosity, learning, openness, positivity, teamwork, and genuine connection. My interests include camping, hiking, yoga, reading, sit down and outdoor games, gardening, natural building, grounding, and basically everything related to health, holistic living, nature, sustainability, spirituality, and alternative living. I do my best to have as little impact on our planet as possible and use natural soaps and products. I do not drink or smoke.

    I am very friendly and open minded and love meeting new people and having deep conversations. Community and connection is very important to me. Being around people brings me to life and is something I look for in a workaway experience. I would describe myself as a kind, positive person who looks for the good in every situation. I am also responsible, clean, easy going, and flexible.

  • More details about your skills

    in no particular order,

    1. Intentional communities in the U.S. I have visited and lived at many different communes and eco villages: The Farm, East Wind, Cambia, Acorn, Living Energy Farm, Twin Oaks, Community of Peace, Short Mountain, Sirius, Glomus, and Heathcote.

    2. Gardening and permaculture. I have worked in many different gardens in my workaway travels, and it is given me a lot of joy to learn more about plants and growing food.

    3. Cleaning, dishes, household chores, etc.

    4. I have experience with and love volunteering with nonprofits and doing community service.

    5. I have experience with babies, children, and homeschooling. I myself was homeschooled most of my life. I volunteered in a nursery for 6–10-month-olds for 3 years and really enjoy helping with babies and children.

    6. Cooking and restaurants. By favorite "real" job has been working at a restaurant because I love customer service and food. I can cook though I enjoy it a lot more when cooking with others. For me, most things are better when done with someone else. I have knowledge and some experience with making kombucha, water kefir, sauerkraut, sourdough, and also food preservation.

    7. Living off grid. I have a lot of experience with this because in Cameroon we were off grid and recently, I'm lived in several different off grid communities, so I am used to being aware of electric and water usage and being frugal with what is available.

    8. I have experience with cob and natural building as well as power tools and basic construction.

    9. I have experience with animals- both pet and farm animals. I have done a lot of pet sitting though TrustedHousitters.com which is another great platform that I recommend if you need someone to watch your pets for free and/or want to stay at someone's house for free in exchange for taking care of their pets. As for farm animals, I have experience with chickens, ducks and limited experience with cows and horses.

    10. Business. I have an associates degree in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship but I will be the first to tell you I don't place much value on this degree. I have learned much more from YouTube videos and podcasts. I was interested in business because I wanted the freedom and flexibility that comes with being your own boss. Workaway is that for me now :)

    11. I have experience with Airbnb hosting, retreat centers, and the hospitality industry- love all these things!
