Description
Hi! We are new to Workaway, but not the the concept. We've participated in Couchsurfing where we've helped make meals and explore new places with fellow Couchsurfers and hosts. We've always wanted to give back to hosts while pursuing our dream to travel longterm and Workaway helps us to do just that!

We love planning our travel journeys and we have a knack for organization, but the more we travel, the more we appreciate the spontaneity of a trip only half-planned. We stay active by trail running, hiking, yoga, and rock climbing but we're up for most any adventure that life presents us with. We love to cook and share meals with new and old friends. Lauren practices yoga and Andrew always has a guitar with him and loves to jam with anyone. Anthony Bourdain was a huge inspiration to us and we've always felt that good conversation is shared at the dinner table, and that travel is the greatest way to get to know yourself.

We spent 3 weeks volunteering in Rachel's hotel/cafe doing various tasks. We originally joined to help with the social media accounts, but since we were also juggling some other social media accounts for our work back home, Rachel was super kind and understanding of our desire to switch up our roles and spent more time outside gardening, cleaning,… read more

Maria is an angel on Earth! This was our first Workaway and we couldn't have had a better experience. Maria was incredibly communicative and flexible with our working dates and we are so happy it worked out. We are traveling in our van so she provided a private parking space, showers, laundry, and all the other amenities of her B&B. From the first… read more

I'm so glad that this workaway exchange worked out. Andrew and Lauren came on short notice to help with a few projects around the property and they did a wonderful job. They were willing and happy to help with projects outside of what I'd originally asked them to do. We felt a little behind at the start of our busy season and Lauren and Andrew… read more
