Description

My name is Maggie and I have always wanted to explore the world, delve into new cultures, learn new languages, and incorporate all this into my love of nature. I am passionate about sustainability, the outdoors and sharing this love with others. I have worked in the outdoor field for nearly a decade. Some of these jobs have included working on a number of luxury dude ranches out west, working in children's programs outdoors, working as a zip line guide and other guided positions, as well as working in conservation.

While working in conservation, I had the opportunity to work with my company to
create a system to take all the food not used by the conservation teams in the field, and to bring this food to the local homeless shelter, as well as leading a donation drive for the homeless shelter. I am passionate about giving back to the community where I can and connecting with my community to bring about good where we can.

It was a pleasure having Maggie as a Workawayer -she was enthusiastic, kind, hard working, reliable, generous and sensitive. I can see Maggie's work every day I walk into the garden or sit at my garden table. She has a great variety of skills and is a willing learner. She is an asset to any home/house she visits.

(Very good )

I had an incredible time staying with Karen. She is so kind and sharing of her space and her life, and she was really encouraging, especially during our ocean swims when the water was freezing! The area is beautiful, the work is rewarding, and our meals together were filled with food from the garden and great conversations. Thank you for … read more

I had an amazing time staying with Clodagh, Niall, Myles and John! They were all so welcoming and it was great to hang out with each of them. I loved the walks with Clodagh and the dogs, the tour around the farm with Niall and the chance to learn all about the technology used to manage the cows, and watching movies, playing games and coloring with … read more

Maggie was great to have around and a very thorough worker. She helped in the garden and helped me lay stone paving which turned out great. She was lovely with the animals, clean and tidy and great company. Would recommend her any day.

I had an absolutely amazing time with Tessa and Guy. The food was amazing, the work was interesting--we set large slabs around the pool and grouted them in and spent a lot of time weeding--but best of all were the conversations. They both are incredibly knowledgeable in their fields and it was so interesting discussing all sorts of topics. They … read more
