Description
*I already have jobs in Ecuador and Colombia in June and July, not available for anything until August, graciasss*
Hello there, my name is Ava. I'm 32, from upstate NY USA and have been solo traveling the world using WorkAway since January 2023.
I’m a hard worker with flexible expectations when visiting new places. The main thing I love about work exchange is getting to step into someone else’s world for a bit and learn their way of life, exchange ideas, learn about different cultures etc :) so I try to stay relaxed enough to be open to all different experiences.
In my time off I also like to be fairly easy going, happy to relax somewhere with a book or take a hike/go out to see some local sights - absolutely ALWAYS happy to sample local food and drink or cook a meal together.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I'm a food service professional with 16 years of restaurant experience - both working as a cook/baker and also as a waitress and manager.
In 2023 I traveled for one year - in the beginning I volunteered as a tour guide in Vietnam and Thailand, I was told many times by guests that my tour was the best they had on their whole vacation. I love this type of tourism work, learning new information and getting to tailor how to share it with guests. Later I helped on two homesteads in Spain doing some gardening, animal care and preparation of meals and have been told my energy is very easy and light to have around. In the summer I ran the kitchen of a hotel in Bavaria Germany and managed their biergarten grill for the season. This included all food ordering, management of staff, recipe development, daily operations and food preparation. My final destination that year was Morocco, where I volunteered three different places doing various help around the home, cooking and housekeeping in a small hotel. So in summary: I have a bit of experience in many types of jobs in many places thanks to this site! These experiences have helped shape me as a very adaptable, thoughtful and self aware volunteer.
I’m reliable and detail oriented, as well as a reasonably quick learner and problem solver. I get along well with most people I meet.

Learning about Chilean wine was one of her objectives completed.

Linde connected me with another volunteer, Lenka, who was set to arrive a similar date to me. I have to say "shokran" for that specifically because Lenka and I ended up traveling to two other jobs together from there! :)
I can confirm a lot of what the existing reviews state: Linde and… read more

She brought such a positive attitude and is a hard worker.
She has deep-cleaned our museum, improved some of our existing systems and guided many many successful tours.
Her kindness was contagious to everyone around her.
Nothing was too much for her.
