Description
Hello! I'm 28-year-old Coloradoan/Australian dual citizen with a curious and optimistic spirit. I've been traveling throughout Australia for a little over three years and I've completed nearly ten wonderful Workaway exchanges.

I'm a photographer, videographer, and media specialist by trade - you can see my work on my website (www.tessamarianne.media), Instagram (instagram.com/tessamarianne) or YouTube (www.youtube.com/c/tessamarianne). I sometimes work on remote projects part-time. My ideal Workaway would be a place where I can balance both worlds!

I like to walk or run every day, practicing yoga, going hiking, reading books, doing crosswords and puzzles, and generally being outside. I recently purchased and self-converted a beautiful little campervan, and I love working on it. I like to have conversations and hear peoples' stories, but I equally like to find time to myself to work on a project or read a book. I find myself happiest when I live a lifestyle that includes physical activity, clean eating, and generally healthy living.

Apart from my creative side, I also have Workaway experiences in gardening, hospitality, basic maintenance, gardening, petsitting, and organization, among other things. I'm physically strong and an efficient and respectful worker/guest.

Thanks so much for your consideration - I'm looking forward to hearing how I might be able to put skills to work at your home!

Left by Workawayer (Tessa) for host for (Comfy home by the beach with ...)

Mel was a lovely host, and I'm grateful for my time spent at her home! She was conscious and accommodating about my needs during my stay; she supplied fresh and beautiful meals; her house is light and welcoming; and she went out of her way to introduce me to the area. Tasks were varied and included housekeeping tasks, basic maintenance, and some… read more

Really enjoyed having Tessa stay and grateful for her help. I gained some great professional photos for my business, a finally-finished mosaic project and a much cleaner house . Tessa is a lovely sweet person, and a considerate and respectful house guest. She was genuine and honest and easy to chat with and also totally tuned in and mindful of… read more

I had a great experience with Jenny, Nick, and the family. The help was straightforward and easy, and it didn't take long for me to feel comfortable there. Most hours were done in the mornings, though sometimes they asked for me to stick around in the afternoon for guest help. The house is bright and cheerful, and it was great to interact with the… read more

Tessa was a breath of fresh air as she came to the rescue after another workawayer had left at a very busy time. She is organised and mostly punctual and willing to help out with a variety of tasks. She is an accomplished pianist and treated us with her music.She fitted into our home easily engaging with others. She also took the initiative to go… read more

I spent a little over a week with Eltara and her granddaughter Faith in the spare bedroom of their beautiful home. Eltara is a kind, gentle, and loving woman, and it was such a relief to experience her calming energy.

The property is large, lush, and ever-growing. I spent most of my time weeding, which was hot and physical work, but Eltara was… read more

This has been by far my best workaway, ever. I've met lots of Aussies claim to be "cruisy" and "laid-back," but Adam is the real deal. He's friendly and extremely accommodating. He's also well-informed and interesting to talk with. The work was very fair, ranging from feeding the animals to weeding the gardens to picking herbs. The food provided… read more
