Description
Hi! I am currently in the states and looking for potential workaways for July/August in North America/Canada.
I'm 31 from California, and I am a jack of all trades. I have worked in the non-profit sector, management, food and beverage and more! I'm looking for a more simple life where I can prioritize myself and my happiness more.
My favorite place to travel so far is Naples, Italy because I feel like I left a piece of my heart and soul there. I have been 3 times and always crave more time.
I love to go on adventures, be in nature, listen to music, get creative and surround myself with amazing, genuine people. I love learning about people and listening to their stories. I hope to learn more about new languages, help others out, volunteer, and travel during my Workaway experience.
I have traveled through Europe, Mexico, South America and more!

We very much enjoyed having Maria with us for a month helping out at the resort. Everything we asked her to do was answered with a 'sure' and when not working we had some good conversations about life, the Universe and everything! Maria is the first Workawayer we've had that really tried to make the most of her stay with us (despite the incessant… read more

Maria came at a hard time for us, as we were really busy and had alot of end of year things to finish. She fitted in so well and we were grateful for her presence. Maria is a great worker and wonderful personality to have around. The children enjoyed her company without feeling they had to, which is really important for us for the children to be… read more

Deborah, Tim and the kids were great to spend my 3 weeks with. I helped with the garden, the kids and organizing the house. The kids were fun, I had many good convos with Deborah and Tim, learned a lot about farming, and felt included in their activities. They let me use their bike to get into town and beaches. If you don’t mind getting a bit… read more

Gabrielle and Rachel are the best hosts ever! This was my first workaway experience and I couldn’t have asked for more. The work was fair, fun and sociable. Napoli is an amazing city and by the from the beginning both the city and the hostel felt like home. Thanks for everything again, can’t wait till our paths cross again. Ciao Bellas!

Staying with Mary and Vassillis was my second workaway and an absolute dream. I was there for a month during the off season (nov) and I quite enjoyed my time. I had the beach across the street to myself, and had lots of quality time with Mary and Vasillis on hikes and outings.
The work is very fair; I helpe organize the kitchen, gardened a tad,… read more
