Hiya! Taking the time to explore the special places of this planet and connecting to the unique communities and cultures that make their lives in them is a passion and privilege that I have been intentionally cultivating for the past few years. I have simplified my career commitments and lifestyle to allow for these experiences and I'M READY FOR ADVENTURE, while working to leave the places I pass through and the people I spend time with more enriched and somehow more beautiful.
I seek experiences where I can share stories, skills, hard work, and the fruits of labor in a natural-based setting, while allowing time for personal exploration and reflection. I am open to a range of tasks and jobs, given they contribute to preservation, restoration, or creation of some sort.
Raising my two daughters into strong, independent women is undoubtedly my magnus opus. My oldest is a nurse in Seattle and the other is a climate researcher currently working with the Environmental Defense Fund in San Francisco. They were raised in an old 1901 farmhouse we restored in the rural but culturally-rich Southern Appalachians just north of Asheville, NC. My partner at that time was a professional arborist and operated his own company, and I taught Biology (with a MAEd) and then spent 12 years working in the developing solar energy industry. I am currently a PRN (as needed) Mentor and Educator at a residential treatment center for teenage girls, which is very rewarding and affords me flexibility in scheduling.
I consider myself to be a creative and capable person that enjoys simple and natural environments, interesting people, and challenging my comfort zone. I seek the good in everything and for healing where it is possible.
While I am relatively new to Workaway and have only established a few reviews, I am a 5- Star rated Airbnb Superhost with over 80 testimonies to the attention I give to my endeavors, among them these words: "-Erika was a wonderful and thoughtful host. Beautiful and comfortable living spaces." "-Amazing hosts that really try to make the experience special. They do not fail in any aspect." and "-Erika is one of the kindest people we’ve met in a very long time!" May yours be among the first of many remarkable and memorable Workaway relationships that I develop over this next cycle of life!Intereses
