Description

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.

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 I taught Biology (with a MAEd) before spending 12 years working in the developing solar energy industry.

In recent years I have worked in mental health, education, and hospitality. In addition, I serve as the Board President for a local community garden organization that grows and distributes fresh vegetables through harvest share programs. I have also been pursuing my interest in textile crafts and teach classes in pine needle basketry.

I consider myself to be a creative and capable person that enjoys simple and natural environments, interesting people, and challenging my comfort zone. I look for the good in everything and for healing where it is possible. I am seeking 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.

Over the past few years I have enjoyed several amazing Workaway experiences, each unique and meaningful. My reviews speak to the energy I bring to my host setting when I show up. In addition, I am a 5- Star rated Airbnb Superhost with over 90 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 host that really makes the experience special. "-Erika is one of the kindest people we’ve met in a very long time!"

May yours be among the many remarkable and memorable Workaway relationships that I develop over this next cycle of life!
