Descripción

Hello my name is Mackenzie! I am currently embarking on a year long (or more!) solo travel adventure. I am fascinated with different and new parts of the world and would love to be immersed in the different places I travel to through work opportunities. I love socializing with people and getting to learn about life that is unfamiliar to me through other peoples stories. I’m quite open minded and open for an adventure.

Dejado por el workawayer para el anfitrión (Eco farm project and learn ...)

It is with a heavy heart that I am giving a low rating for John and my Workaway experience with him. First what I would like to say is that his intentions on making his guests feel welcomed and apart of the community are ever so present. Maripipi Island was beautiful, as well as Sambawan Island and Biliran both places he also took me to. He was … read more excited to share his life with me whether it was stories, people, places and activities which I was very grateful to have experienced.

The reason for the low rating is because of information that was emitted from the initial volunteer posting. During the time that I was there, there was no actual volunteer work to be done. And while that sounds like it is a dream scenario for some people, it felt odd to me that we were just hanging out rather than me actually working for him. I was first drawn to his post because of the farming projects that he said that he needed help with. For a whole week I was there we went to the farm once and only for about a half an hour.

There were a lot that I should have clarified with him before coming to the island, like where the accommodation was going to be and what it was going to look like, and if there were going to be other volunteers present when I got there. I assumed there was going to be another volunteer because when talking about chores he used “our” and “we” statements - I did bring this up to him and he apologized for the confusion. The accommodation was okay for me without having running water, but I didn’t expect it to not have a back wall or a lock on the front door. He puts in his description that he doesn’t want anyone “fancy” but I should have clarified and asked what he meant by that.

What really was an issue for me now looking back was that he didn’t want me to tell anyone that I was volunteering for him. Later he said that if anyone found out he was hosting volunteers that he could be in trouble and that I could have my visa revoked and a potential ban from the Philippines. I think that is incredibly irresponsible for him to not have shared that information with me beforehand and asked me to lie to everyone he introduced me to as to how we met.

The deciding factor for me leaving was an argument we had about his supposed responsibility over me. I understand that he was concerned about my safety but it was taken too far. I have been solo traveling for the past six months without his supervision and he didn’t like that I wanted to leave the house for one hour. I was in no eminent danger going leaving and unfortunately the incident blew up more than I would ever thought it would and I left that night.

I believe this would have been a completely different experience if I were not a solo female traveler.
