  • Description

    Greetings,

    October 2023 update...
    I am returning to the US and will be here through December. I have a background in farming/gardening and hospitality services. I am reliable, and honest. I have a good sense of humor, and generally live life with a smile.

    Over the past five years I have enjoyed working at a variety of Workaway locations and preferred those positions that were project based or involved an organized daily routine. However, I am adaptable and always happy to learn new skills.

    I enjoy traveling slowly, taking the time to really know a place and its people. I also enjoy all-things science, birding, cooking, music, reading, and learning as much as possible about this big, wide world.

    Please reach out if you believe I am a good match for you and your Workaway needs.


    Cheers,
    Mariann
