Description
My name is Maddie and I'm 19! I'm from A little town in Upstate New York that I love but all I want to do now is travel, meet new people, and learn everything I can! I got a taste of this last year, traveling to St. Croix and doing an amazing workaway for 5 months, and traveling Ecuador and Peru the last 6 months.

I love being active, creative, and always up for an adventure or trying something new! I've always loved playing sports and just more recently gotten into running, hiking and yoga. I love taking pictures and capturing beautiful things that I can share with others. I love meeting new people and sharing stories, information, and just talking and creating new connections. I can't wait to live more and learn and do so many things.

I care deeply for others and bringing joy to others, gives me so much joy. I love making people smile and doing what I can to always help someone else out!

The outdoors and nature is something that is very very special to me. I really believe that as creatures on this planet, we have a deep connection to it and everything on it, but that it has been forgotten by a lot of people nowadays. Respecting all nature, animals, and plants is something I hold very highly as a human :)

More details about your skills
I have worked at restaurants, with elderly people, with the nature conservancy helping to restore coral in the Caribbean, and various other jobs throughout my workaway experience! I have learned to live and thrive with many other people! I have the ability to work really well with others, while being flexible, understanding, and truly enjoying sharing the tasks and the company of learning from and teaching others :)

One of the reason I love Workaway so much is that you get to learn and experience so many different and new things that you might have never expected.

I loveee creating things, whether it’s painting, drawing, sculpting, building, cooking!

I'm a great listener, very respectful, and always aim to please and be the most kind I can be in everything I do!:)

I had such an amazing time here! The whole family was so welcoming, generous, and kind from the moment I arrived. I loved helping to take care of Astro, taking him to surf class, football, and just running around and playing together. This was my first experience working with children and i have to say i am so lucky and happy to have it been with… read more

I stayed with Galo and his family for a month and it was an absolutely amazing experience! I arrived there with my friend and from the first day we were made to feel so welcomed into their home. I was so excited to work in the forest, help the earth and learn more from Galo, and that is exactly what happened and more! we woke up and worked our… read more

Maddie was a great addition to our volunteer “intentional community “ for three great weeks. She embraced every task with seemingly boundless happy energy but was also careful to follow instructions and diligent to complete the work thoroughly. She sets a high standard for others her age (and older) to follow and was fun to communicate with and… read more

I spent almost a month here at Kerry's, and it was absolutely amazing. From the first day, Kerry welcomed us with open and caring arms and made me feel right at home. The farm is tucked away on top of the hill, far away from any city noise and with the most breathtaking view, making it one of the most peaceful places you'll ever be! Kerry woke up… read more

Strong! Helpful! Great attitude! Maddie came here soon after high school and jumped in with both feet. It was so fantastic to see her challenge herself, learn new things and go after each project with such a great attitude. Maddie would make a great construction contractor if she ever wants to do that. I trusted her with more difficult tasks and… read more

Staying with Ryan and Corina at this place was an absolute DREAM. I stayed for almost 5 months and the amount of things I learned and how much I grew from the experience was life changing! Ryan and Corina are two of the most genuinely caring people I have ever met. From the first night there, when me and my friend arrived Ryan was ready to take us… read more down for a sunset swim, but it only began from there. Whether it was asking if we wanted anything special from the grocery store, taking us to the beach to play goaltimate frisbee, or just someone to go on an adventure with, you could always count on them.
You definitely should be prepared to sweat and work hard, but that made it so so so much more rewarding and so much fun. Getting up every week day ready to do something new and make progress on a project with great people was so exhilarating. No matter what level of knowledge you have going into this workaway, Ryan and Corina are ready share what they know and use their unbelievable ability of teaching and patience to help guide you. If its construction work, cooking, gardening, and even just learning how to work well as a team, the information you learn here is extensive. I left there stronger and truly believing I am capable of doing anything.
And I mean WOW is it also insanely gorgeous. You will definitely feel euphoric the whole time you're there. It's just so hard to describe into words, o.m.g. Butler Bay that is right down the hill that is filled with amazing fish and turtles, the huge swing under the saman tree, the Frederiksted pier with breathtaking colorful sponges, or a hike up to the lighthouse. It is paradise for sure. Just writing this review is making me want to go back.
The environment that Ryan and Corina create here is absolutely amazing and heartwarming to think about. They make you feel so welcome and open to be your true self. With dance parties on new years and huge family dinners, you always felt loved and like you were meant to be there with those exact people, and no where else. I can't thank Ryan and Corina enough for how much they have done for me! I was sososo lucky and fortunate enough to stay there with them for as long as I did and to have created the life long friendships with everyone there. It makes me so happy to think of other people now getting the chance to experience the beauty and love of this place!!!
