Description

Hello!

I am an adventurous, outgoing 22 year old artist & writer currently studying at a university near Chicago.

Here are some things that I love:

- The arts: I love to create! I study Theatre at a university near Chicago. I am a writer who works primarily on plays & poetry & essays, and I just finished a musical theatre project about siblings walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain. I also love museums and education in museums, and am thinking about working in that realm.

-Conversations around spirituality and meaning: I engage with meditation and other contemplative practices and love to connect with & learn from others who also are spiritually curious (both through practices that are similar & different from my own).

-The natural world: I love long walks, in the mountains or just in a neighborhood, & looking at the sky.

-Meeting new people: I have moved around throughout my life. I grew up in the United States and also lived in Germany for a while. Nothing brings me as much joy as making new friends and sharing stories.

I am looking for Workaway experiences to connect with new communities and share in conversation & creativity. I can't wait to get started! I promise that I will bring an enthusiastic smile to the job!

My friend Hannah and I Workawayed with Agnete for a short 6 days. It was a whirlwind few days of new experiences! We worked hard, laying bricks, cleaning greenhouses, and cleaning beehives but we learned a lot and we could not have worked hard enough to repay Agnete for all of her kindness! Agnete was such a generous and inclusive host! She made … read more

Maggie è una persona solare, dinamica, curiosa, determinata ed un'ottima insegnante di yoga. Ci ha aiutato nella raccolta delle olive per quasi tutta la settimana ed ha fatto parte della famiglia siciliana che ha tanto amato. Speriamo di rivederla presto perché un pezzetto del suo cuore è rimasto qui tra noi.

My 8 days at Casa Nepitella were ones that I will remember for the rest of my life! Pinella and her friends welcomed me immediately as though I was part of the family. The days were full of (delicious!) food, friends, and fun and I loved every second. I felt totally immersed in Sicilian culture. As for the work itself, I helped around the house … read more

Maggie stayed 2 weeks in our hotel helping with the guests and everyday tasks.
She was very easy to communicate with through messenger etc and since most of the time she had to do things without me showing her how to do then, she accomplished them excellently!
She was such a great help for us and we would love to host her again in the future!!

Working here was my first ever Workaway experience and I loved it!

I stayed here for two weeks. My first week, I did not see Vivian much so most of our communication was through text. I sometimes felt a bit confused about my tasks. I was able to figure things out with the help of the other Workawayer, who has now become a great friend that I … read more
