Travelling
Description

Nearly four years ago I decided to soothe my restless heart when I became a nomad. Since that life changing decision, I've been blessed beyond belief in tending to my free spirit. I have found the most abundance in volunteering and work-trading and it's how I hope to continue exploring all the random and remote corners of the world. It's always an immersive and unique experience, and always worth treasuring.

I am fueled by adventure and bringing people joy. I feel the most at peace when I am surrounded by nature and I am constantly eager to connect with Mother Earth. Most of my favorite activities are outdoors, and I especially value the chance to dabble in other hobbies and pastimes. Surviving without the unconditional love of my cherished pets was one of the hardest sacrifices I had to make when I chose to travel, so I am always looking for opportunities to cuddle and play with more furry friends. I am also very passionate about being a role model to children because their souls are pure and they never fail to remind me of what's most important in life: to fill each present moment with as much laughter and love as your heart can manage.

I warmly welcome all the opportunities and all the challenges that come with this glorious lifestyle. They've been indescribably fruitful thus far. I look forward to connecting with new people, new places, and new cultures. I sincerely hope to spend the rest of this lifetime learning and growing, practicing love and gratitude, and enjoying the present moment.

More details about your skills

I have some background in construction through working with Habitat for Humanity and I did a service term with AmeriCorps partnering with many different organizations, including the National Forest Service, Boys and Girls Club, the Red Cross, and Nechama. I have an abundance of experience with children and feel passionate about their growth and creating lasting bonds. I have worked in various customer service realms, from hotels to coffee shops, to administrative work and tutoring. I've volunteered at a wolf sanctuary, elephant sanctuary, and butterfly sanctuary, lived in the Alaskan frontier caring for fifteen malamutes, and learned how to co-exist with and ride horses. I've been a sailor, beekeeper, and English teacher. Since I began traveling, I've had the chance to work in hostels, on farms, at animal sanctuaries, and in the wilderness, collecting wisdom from all corners of this beautiful world. I find pride in being adaptable and I love being challenged to learn anything new!

Left by host (Learn about honey bees and ...) for Workawayer ()

Thank you so much for helping my beekeeping, Sarah.

She is good worker.
When I explained the beekeeping task, she figured out the point of my explanation quickly, and understand the efficient move herself.

In my place, I believe my volunteer's independence and life experience.
I usually let my volunteers to check the bees themselves.

When Sarah first contacted us, we had already told her that there were other Workawayers joining. As this was definitely our most challenging travel yet, spanning multiple countries and regions, we had to rearrange some of our routes and also many last-minutes changes in order to accommodate her. Successful hosting multiple groups of Workawayers … read more

I joined Jerry and his family for six days on the island of Kyushu, Japan. I was recruited to be the driver for the road trip. They are a generous family and we had lots of fun seeing sights. The boys have very different personalities. So finding common ground for engagement wasn't always easy. Thanks for the experience!

i enjoyed a restorative three weeks and would highly recommend this space to anyone who is eager for a slower pace. i learned so much about butterflies and caterpillars from Max the entomologist. I have a newfound fascination with insects thanks to him and the peace of this place. i was here during the beginning of low season so the work was quite … read more

What a wonderful month it has been volunteering at legacy. What a privilege it is to exist at the same time as these gentle giants! I’ve learned so much about elephants and I never tired of just being in their presence. The work is quite diverse depending on what tasks you’re assigned to, but the coordinators are good at receiving feedback to make … read more

Sarah was a great resource for the team. She was always helpful and cheerful, no matter the challenges that occurred or unexpected changes in plans. She is strong and skilled and mastered all tasks she was given while on board. We will be glad to host Sarah again if we have the chance.

This was the most incredible opportunity. In my two months here, I lived on two of the four sailboats, worked at festivals, helped clean dozens of islands, and sailed from the Arctic Circle to the Netherlands. The work was rarely the same and I learned very quickly to go with the flow as the plans are as unpredictable as the winds. A typical day … read more

I loved hosting Sarah for a longer period of time because she was extremely self sufficient and took extremely good care of the dogs. I could trust her to take care of an entire kennel of 15 dogs for weeks at a time by her self and she would walk the dogs, feed them and give them top tier care. She also was capable of tinkering around on her own, … read more

I spent ten weeks with Tonje, Egil, and my furry friends in this beautiful corner of Alaska. The summer here involves quite a bit of hard work and lots of dirty days. I imagine it’ll be a lifestyle adjustment for most people but as long as you remain open minded and focused on your purpose for being there then it will be more than rewarding. The … read more

Sarah was such a helpful person to have on-board our nature projects. A real pleasure to have staying with us, we really enjoyed her company for the time she stayed with us. All of the work she was tasked with was never too much, she just got in and did it. And did it good. She really enjoyed riding around in the nature, and exploring what our … read more

I was at Erika and Adams farm for a week and it was a real pleasure to see all the hard work they’ve put into their land and home. The work is diverse. Some days we were harvesting (and munching on) snow peas and others we were collecting rocks to make a driveway. Weeding is always a part of the deal on any farm and this one is no exception. We … read more

It's taken me far too long to write this feedback, but having experienced other workaways since our time in San Marcos, I feel it's even more important to encourage anyone interested in connection to join Juan in his paradise.

We spent ten days with Luis in this tucked corner of Patagonia, mostly focused on harvesting lavender and soaking in the glorious nature. It's so removed from the town that you'll have no choice but to appreciate all the small details of Argentina's landscape. Luis was hosting his father at the time and we loved all of the conversations and the … read more
