Description

Hey y’all I'm Ava! I’m an overall outgoing and positive person who loves spending time with people and animals (sometimes even more of a preference for animals). I'm seriously passionate about climate actions and would love to talk about it! I love to work hard and get my hands dirty with some gardening work and have been looking to hone my woodworking and home improvement skills. I have worked with large and small animals my whole life, particularly household pets and rehabbing local wildlife. Work with animals will always be a huge passion for me.

I am travelling around Europe to gain a new sense of independence while building community everywhere I go. I love rock climbing, reading, and exploring/trying new things. I have a bachelor's in environmental biology so all things outside is where I tend to feel the most comfortable. I’m adaptable and dependable, willing to work and create memorable experiences during my stay.

Ava stayed with us during the month of May, and it was an absolute pleasure to host her and spend time together! She is a hardworking person, always wearing a smile and bringing a positive attitude, both during work and in her free time.

We also had the chance to volunteer together at a local climbing festival, and she was one of the first to get … read more

My time with Cami and her family was truly so special and meaningful for me. From the second I got there I felt welcomed by her and her family, especially Claudia who felt like a second mother to me. The work was always enjoyable wether it was harvesting vegetables, moving wood, or picking mulberries to make jam. I have so many fond memories from … read more

My time here was such a blast that I ended up with no hair by the end of it! But really, this felt like such a safe haven for anyone who loves community and creativity in nature. I really bonded with the other volunteers I was with and ended up feeling confident enough to shave my head like I had always wanted, it was a very special moment to … read more

I only got to spend around a week with Bien and her amazing dogs but it was a special time. The work was centered around my schedule but I chose to work in the mornings, sometimes full days, sometimes half. I was allowed to choose my project along with a list of some ideas just in case. I ended up building her a solitary bee box in her lovely … read more

Ava stayed here 10 days and was a joy to host!
She was easygoing, positive and interested in the environment and exchanging with interesting talks together during breakfast, lunch and dinner.
She enjoyed the dogs and exploring the area by bike (could find her way easily).
It was a pleasure to see her create a beatiful insecthotel from leftover … read more
