  • Description

    Greetings,

    September 2024 update... I am home in Montana for a little while. Where and when my next journey will be is to be determined (tbd).

    I have a background in farming, gardening and hospitality services. I am reliable, and honest. I am a passionately curious person with a good sense of humor, and generally live life with a smile.

    Over the past six years, I enjoyed assisting a variety of Workaway hosts in multiple locations. I prefer positions that are project based or involve a fairly organized daily routine. However, I am adaptable and I am always happy to learn new skills.

    I believe spending quality time in one location, to really know a place and its people, is what travel is all about. I also enjoy all-things science, cooking, music, reading, and learning.

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

    Cheers,
    Mariann
