CURRENT TRAVELS:

I am looking for opportunities to teach English in a classroom setting, and ideally improve my own language skills (either Spanish or French). I recently completed a CELTA English teaching certificate and have taught English in Colombia to both children and adults.

_____________________________________________________

In January 2021, I left my job in the FinTech industry to pursue a different way and pace of life. Through Workaway I’m seeking to create meaningful and fun experiences by seeing the world and connecting with interesting people along the way! I live to learn and aim to both expand my skills and provide help to hosts through Workaways.

I am conscious about the environment, so I aim to live a low-waste lifestyle and eat a vegan diet. In my free time, I love being active and outdoors. I'm a big fan of cycling, and I'm planning a trip to cross Japan by bike. As a Coloradan, I've climbed many 14ers (14,000 ft. mountains), and running and hiking are also favorites. All this is to say that I am happiest when outdoors, and am more than glad to assist with any workaway tasks you may have for me. For me, nature brings a certain peace and contentment that I can't find anywhere else.

What I most value in life: helping others, meaningful conversations, connecting with nature, working hard, good food, exchanging culture/thoughts/ideas/language

Dejado por el anfitrión (Georgian house, gardens and ...) para el workawayer (Rachael)

Rachael arrived full of good cheer and remained that way throughout her entire stay. And what a worker! Nothing seemed to tire her, and whatever she was asked yto do, she understood almost immediately. There were delicious vegan meals too, if not quite enough to permanently change my vegetarian diet! The though that she may return one day is a… read more

I spent two weeks at Christopher’s place and wish I could have stayed longer. Christopher is a big-hearted and professorly host who always has an interesting book or story to share. Stella is a funny and kind co-host and helped us understand our tasks and feel at home (I miss her apple cake already).

I loved working outside to help with the… read more

Dejado por el workawayer (Rachael) para el anfitrión (Volunteer in an old farmhouse ...)

I spent 3 weeks at Anthony and Jacqueline’s home and I couldn’t have imagined a better workaway. What made this workaway special was the kindness and welcoming nature of the whole family (even Cosmo the dog). By the end of my stay I felt they were more like family than hosts.

My were varied and included painting, cooking, strimming, and… read more

Rachael was with us for three weeks in July 21 and it was wonderful to have her here and to have her help. She made a really big difference in the woods splitting and moving piles of logs (since she left I have found yet another enormous pile beautifully cut and stacked!) and did some splendid painting and filling in the meditation room and house.… read more

I spent an amazing four months at the farm. Serena is a thoughtful host with clear guidelines and expectations, and the community on the farm is incredibly kind and welcoming.

The tasks are varied and there is some opportunity to focus on interests/strengths in work. During my time on the farm, I spent a lot of time harvesting microgreens,… read more

I was happy to host Rachael on the farm during these last four months. She helped with a variety of tasks such as plant maintenance, fruit and vegetable harvesting, which requires thoughtful attention and reading up on tropical plant. She tended the animal, which is a big responsibility since it must be done daily with a positive calm attitude… read more
