Description
I have been doing work exchange for the past 11 years (using HelpX, WorkAway, and Wwoof) and have cared for horses, hens, and most farm animals, gardens, landscaping and mowing, and many various projects along the way. I am a physically fit female, college educated (BS Aeronautics; MS in Aviation Safety), and have worked in the corporate world as well as trades (construction/historical restoration (mostly painting and trim work), wildland firefighting, property management, house cleaning, airbnb/vrbo management, etc.).

I am finally fulfilling a dream of traveling and connecting with people and places and living a simpler life. I enjoy opportunities to grow, learn, and share important ideas and skills (basic living, organic farming, animal tending, creativity, restoration, etc. all things that feed the spirit), connect with like-minded people, and make new friends along the way.

I love being outdoors (hiking, running, walking, biking, snowshoeing, gardening, working, etc.), love horses and hens, reading, restoring (and building) furniture, house renovations, gardening, and learning new things.

I am a vegetarian who does not smoke or drink. I am respectful, compassionate, hard working, and clean and am extremely grateful to those who choose to share their home, land, and knowledge with me during this ever ongoing transition and transformation we all journey through.

Journey Well,

Karen

Marilyn is a wonderful person and host! Her property and home are beautiful and I enjoyed every day I spent on this amazing farm. I spent 3 weeks on the farm and helped with horse feeding, occasionally rental cabin cleaning, weeding, re-doing the gravel path at the barn apt rental, and holding horses for the farrier. Marilyn let me chose what I… read more

I stayed with Kayla and family for 3.5 weeks and had a great time. Kayla is a wonderful host and provided me with project options that allowed me to choose what I wanted to work on from day to day. I helped feed the animals in the morning and afternoon and worked on refinishing a couple of furniture pieces, which I love to do. I loved seeing the… read more

Karen was a godsend to my project! She contacted me with last minute availability. I was so pleased to hear from her. I was aware of Karen’s work ethic because she lived and worked for a friend of mine last year. Karen helped me on my cabin renovation project for almost three weeks. She is a very hard worker and made a big dent in the current… read more

Cynthia is a great host. She took me on last minute and welcomed me warmly into her home. I spent almost 3 weeks helping with her cottage renovation, mostly staining the wood siding so it would be ready to go up in the Spring. She took me around to the local sights and we went on an Autumn leaf peeping tour of the back roads and took the gondola… read more

Karen came a volunteer, and left a lifelong friend. My inclination has been to write several long chapters on her abilities and self motivation, and for that reason it's taken me ages to get to this. Simply put, as a workaway volunteer, her dedication to my projects was excellent, and she always jumped right in when needed, with enthusiasm, grace… read more

Susan is a wonderful, wonderful host and person! I absolutely loved the nine months that I spent with her. I helped her move house, painted furniture, tended to animals (horse and hens), planted garlic, shoveled snow, cleaned, and enjoyed great company. I was able to see and explore most of southern Vermont thanks to our many scenic drives, during… read more

Karen was a big help to me on my voyage. She's a quick learner and treated the boat like her own. She was very good at planning our trip and keeping a couple days ahead of our current location. She was always up and ready to face the day every day. Even when the weather or something was not looking the best, she held an optimist view of what was… read more

Jeff was an excellent host and boat life is great! I learned a lot about boats and boating including how to secure bow and stern lines, hook up shore power, navigate, add fuel and potable water, and even helped change the engine oil. Jeff is very easy going and accommodating and made sure I had all the foods I liked on board. I had a great time… read more

Karen was a great volunteer! She spent the summer here with us and there wasn't a day where she wasn't smiling. She was a huge help with mowing, clearing, gardening and especially splitting and stacking firewood. She really knows her way around a log splitter! She is highly motivated and self directing and rarely needed more than a stated… read more

Martin is wonderful! He let me come stay on very short notice and allowed me to stay for 11 weeks on his beautiful piece of Vermont paradise. I loved meeting all of his great neighborhood friends and watching movies in the barn or playing cards or dominos in the evenings, or just sitting by the outdoor fire pit and listening to music and viewing… read more
