Que habilidades tienes?
I absolutely love people! Both professionally and casually, I am so excited to make new friends, learn about different cultures, and share my experiences as well. I have an abundance of customer service and relational experience with history in restaurants, caretaking (both kids and elderly), retail, and even real estate! Living on a small family farm here in Washington, I have experience with horses, chickens, pigs, dogs, cats, etc. and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I am a very flexible, go-with-the-flow type of person and I am just excited to provide helping hands wherever you need me :)

My two favorite activities are spending time outside and game/music nights. Outdoors, I am happy hiking, biking, swimming, paddleboarding - you name it! My family hosts game/music nights every week and we enjoy playing Codenames, Taboo, Scattergories, Sequence, Dominoes, Cards - the list goes on. We sing every genre of music and I always love an opportunity to further my piano skills, or learn a new instrument. I am open to learning new games/songs and exploring your favorite places. When it comes time to relax, I enjoy yoga and reading; I would be content doing these activities with a group of people, or by myself if you need alone time. I am very self sufficient, however, I do prefer to be with others rather than time alone :)

This was my first workaway experience, as well as my first trip to Ireland and....WOW! It was everything I hoped for and MORE thanks to this host family. Carla and Stew provided a very comfortable, private, and clean space for me to stay without being separated from the family. The house is always filled with beautiful music and lovely smells from… read more the kitchen as both of them are great musicians and cooks. Both of them are very friendly and will always offer tea or coffee to go with great conversation and laughs (or as they would call it, "craic"). There was a great balance of doing things together as a family as well as solo adventures. They were very kind to drop me off/pick me up for my own exploring as well as giving great recommendations for things to do, see, drink, eat, etc. My favorite place was a cute beach town called Lahinch. It's biking distance from their house and is filled with shops, restaurants, pubs, views, and one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Many surfers in the area gather here to catch some waves (very entertaining to watch even if you don't surf).

I can't say enough good things about Carla and Stew, as well as their two boys. We were fast friends and I truly enjoyed the time I spent looking after them. They go to school during the morning/afternoon and can be independent at home, but they both loved doing things altogether when we had a chance. The older boy enjoys surfing, watching surfing videos, and always knew how to make me laugh with his killer sense of humor. He also is very good with the younger boy and a great big brother to him. The younger boy will steal your heart instantly. He has the sweetest soul and really just enjoys having a buddy who will share his toys, play soccer, do art projects, play pretend, and read to him. We spent many hours together and saying goodbye to him was incredibly difficult. I didn't expect to have such a great little buddy!

I can't forget to mention how handsome the man of the house is. His name is Wallace and he's the most amazing yellow lab you'll ever meet! He loves snuggles and walks just as much as the rest of us and is a great companion as he will always want to be by your side. He is well behaved and a great listener. If you aren't a dog person, don't worry one bit. He doesn't bite and you will not be responsible for picking up his "creations" in the garden :) There is enough love poured out on him by everyone else in the house...but I would strongly recommend you open your heart to him because he really is the sweetest boy.

I could go on and on about the amazing memories I made in the month that I stayed. I met new friends, experienced different aspects of Irish culture, saw some of the most beautiful sights of my life (cliffs, castles, rolling hills, beaches, etc.), tried new food and drinks (you can still enjoy Ireland even if you don't drink!), heard some of the best music, and met the most amazing people here. After my time with this generous family, I took some time to travel to different parts of Ireland. It was all great and beautiful, but County Clare and the people there will make your trip worth the fare... can you tell I kissed the Blarney Stone? :)
