Description
Hi hi!

My name is Rosie and I grew up just outside Toronto, Canada. I started my solo backpacking journey in 2022 and am still going strong!

A bit about me:

- I studied English Literature, worked in book publishing, and read as much as possible
- I am a TEFL certified English teacher and work with students online
- I am building a nomadic, connection-based, sustainable lifestyle
- I am passionate about yoga, meditation, and community
- I grew up in a bicultural/bilingual household and speak Spanish
- I have been vegetarian for the past 14 years and love to be inventive in the kitchen

I value seeking discomfort and love trying new things. I can't wait to share my journey with you!

More details about your skills
I have worked on many permaculture farms and have fallen in love with sustainable, rural living. Soil is my happy place: watering, weeding, mulching, pruning, potting, transplanting, harvesting, preparing soil beds, and general maintenance in gardens and orchards of all sizes. I am also an animal activist and have stayed in a cow sanctuary, worked with rescued dogs, joined bird watching groups, fed chickens and cleaned out their coops, and made friends with every crawling, galloping, soaring creature that I've come across. I likewise have assisted in several art and construction projects, from colourful mosaic tiling and glass painting to rudimentary adobe house-building. I believe in dreaming big and being as crafty, thrifty, and inventive as possible.

I am also a TEFL certified English teacher and have taught students (elementary to university) in the subjects of language, reading, grammar, and writing. I have previously taught as an ESL teacher at an all-boys school and as a University Teaching Assistant for literature undergraduates. I love working with students of all ages and empowering them to achieve their goals. Currently, I work remotely as a writing teacher!

Before travelling—and while studying—I spent many years in hospitality (customer service in restaurants and retail). Working with people and recognizing their needs has become my strong suit.

But, perhaps, the most important *skill* I have is being positive and open—to ideas, ways of living, and new experiences.

Of all my Workaway experiences, this is by and far my most cherished.

Miguel is a poet and storyteller, though he would blush at my calling him that. A lover of nature, patron of the arts, academic scholar, and profoundly deep thinker - Miguel welcomed me into his grandparents' home with utter kindness and generosity. There, amongst his flowers… read more

Hosting Rosie was a genuine delight, she requested a one week stay and we had three marvelous weeks of thoughtful conversations, imaging and creating art around the property, transforming the kitchen into a haute cuisine environment, and discovering how life can be lived by simply sharing who we are, what we dream, where we have been, whom we have… read more

I spent a month in this green oasis! The volunteer house was comfortable and beautifully designed - kitchen, washrooms, bedrooms are rugged and very much outdoors, all covered in pretty murals and plants. The work was diverse and clearly organized between 8am-1pm. I spent my time feeding chickens, cleaning coops, weeding, landscaping, mixing soil,… read more

My time here was wonderful! Omar and Gilma are very welcoming and made me feel right at home, with delicious vegetarian meals, lots of laughs, and insightful conversation. During my time, I worked in the garden planting beans, weeding corn stalks and onion patches, and tending to numerous plants. Likewise, I helped make apple cider vinegar (for… read more

I volunteered with the owner Milton for 3 weeks and had a great time. The hotel is very clean and minutes away from the beach. My tasks were fair and flexible, including sweeping/mopping, flipping rooms, welcoming guests, and working reception. Milton was generous and made sure that I was always felt comfortable. Rincon del Mar is a very special… read more

My time in this permaculture village was the highlight of my Australian trip! I had planned to stay with Bernard for only a week, but ended up staying 5 weeks. His place is beautiful (quiet, clean, full of greenery and SO many kangaroos) and the nearby community offers many opportunities for yoga, sound baths, cultural exchange, and live music. My… read more

Alison was a perfect host! She is kind, generous, and made me feel like a part of her family. I had a large unit accommodation to myself, ample free time to wander around Mackay, and a bicycle to use whenever I wanted! Alison's meals are all vegan and delicious, and she takes care to make sure that you are well-fed. I especially appreciated her… read more

Rosie was an absolute gem and a fantastic helper. She stayed at my property in Mackay and helped mainly outdoors with gardening tasks. I really loved her energy and enthusiasm for the tasks.
We are also in the middle of a renovation and Rosie was very helpful with moving bulky items.
She helped me at short notice with cleaning my air bnb and again… read more

I spent 2 weeks here and had a wonderful time! This spiritual farm is situated in a peaceful location, with gorgeous rolling hills and wildlife galore. My highlight was the accommodation: clean, cozy, wooden cabins that have modern toilets/showers, small kitchenettes (outfitted with lots and lots of tea), and porch seating to take in the view.
