  • Description

    Hi, I’m Vanessa :) I’m 22 and from the United States. I’ve lived in Ohio, New Mexico, and California, and hoping to move to Europe one day! I speak fluent English and am in the process of learning Spanish, and veryyyy beginner Hungarian, although I’m not very good at it yet. I’m interested in learning other languages as well as seeing and integrating myself in other cultures to have a more well-rounded life experience.

    Some of the things I’m interested in are sustainability, culture, farm work, yoga, meditation, crocheting, knitting, ceramics, painting, drawing, music, pretty much any form of creativity excites me, even if I’ve never done it before.

    My core values are authenticity, originality, philanthropy, empathy, adventure, understanding, nature, optimism, and spirituality. I will never push any of my beliefs on anyone else, but if someone were interested in learning more, I would love to chat!

    Currently, I have my own lifecoaching business to help other people reach genuine happiness that comes from fully embracing who you are, living authentically, and building a daily self love practice to help invigorate the passion within them.

    I am looking to not only be a workawayer to help strangers who will become more like family and life long friends, (which I am definitely very excited to do) but also to gain experience and see life through a different perspective I’ve never seen through before.

    I am also writing a book and I would hope to work on that as well :)

    I look forward to getting to know you and becoming that part of each other’s lives we didn’t know we may have needed or even wanted.

  • More details about your skills

    I am a pretty “handy” person. I tend to be a quick learner and have had experience in a lot of different areas. My sister had horses growing up, so I’ve helped with some minor barn work. I have experience gardening, working in customer service/hospitality, cooking, construction, and I also just have a desire to learn.

    I have helped remodel houses with painting and demolition, reconstructed furniture with woodworking tools like saws, sanders, and drills, I also have done many niche things from soap-making to being a personal assistant, nannying, and website design.

    If I don’t know how to do something, I will figure out how to do, and do a good job, in only a few days!

    22

  • What else ...

    I love traveling, helping others in any way that I can. I like to stay active, I love to train in the gym (or outside, with whatever or wherever I can!), I do yoga, meditate, and journal every day first thing in the morning before I start my day. (It won’t affect my availability to work, I’ll just wake up earlier to make sure I can do it!)
