My husband, baby, and I have a home on roughly 18 acres adjacent to Davy Crockett National Forest. We have 10-15 forested acres and a beautiful meadow with native wildflowers and grasses. Our 2 pups love to run through the creek that winds through the land and play in the tall grass. We often have wildlife sightings of deer, hogs, and armadillos, and there are beautiful birds everywhere. We would welcome some help with tasks around the house and some light help with the baby (vaccine required). We have both been Workawayers ourselves, so we have a good idea of what you need to have a fulfilling volunteer experience!

We offer a unique experience for the average Workawayer because our region is not only ecologically rich (we live in the Piney Forest, adjacent to the national forest), but it has a long and abundant history. The two oldest towns in Texas are minutes away and we live only a few miles from El Camino Real de los Tejas (one of the oldest roads in Texas). Our land also used to be home to several American indigenous peoples, we even find arrow heads around the property on occasion. Workawayers who join us will be able to explore the forests, towns, and parks around the area to get a real sense of the distinct culture of Deep East Texas.
On a more personal level, we know what it's like to have to adapt to new places, languages, and cultures; so we are able to empathize and identify with people who come from far off. We were Workawayers ourselves in Serbia and have lived in three other countries together. In fact, my husband became the volunteer manager for an organization made up entirely of Workaway volunteers in Serbia and we spent most of our time at that organization making Workawayers feel part of the team. We have a passion for cross-cultural exchange and believe strongly in the value of working and living side-by-side. We plan to eat dinner with our Workawayers as often as they'd like and help shoulder to shoulder with them on any projects we undertake together.
