Description
Hello!

My name is Lindsay and I am a 37-year-old female from the Philadelphia area in Pennsylvania.

I am very friendly, creative, and talkative... as well as pretty laid back and go with the flow.

I am interested in meeting like-minded people and LEARNING LEARNING LEARNING as much as I can from them!
I have 7 years of experience running for-profit businesses (5 years as a Director of a daycare center and 2 years as a Director of a Brain Training center).

I currently work as a freelance writer and write articles about health, wellness, and anything self-improvement related.

I have helped many people organize their homes, decorate, and simply make their life more efficient. I've also helped friends renovate their homes (drywall, painting) -- however, I am not formally trained!

I ideally would like to stay with someone for at least a few weeks and really get to know them and be able to provide my knowledge in exchange for theirs. I am very open-minded to a variety of experiences so please do not hesitate to contact me!

Cheers!

Blessed.

That is the easiest way to start this review is by saying how blessed I feel to have had such a wonderful experience with Musti. Right from the start, I instantly felt like I was in the company of family. Musti has the true Workaway spirit and knows exactly how to share his life, culture, ideas, and country with someone.

You know you have had an EPIC workaway experience when you are sitting at the airport and debating if you should really get on the plane or not! I just spent 2 beautiful, fun, entertaining, adventurous, and memorable weeks with Len & Julia and I could not have asked for a better exchange.

Let me count the numerous ways of why this workaway is… read more the Golden Ticket of workaways (which is not said lightly considering this has been by 13th-ish placement!):

#1 - Len & Julia's personalities: You will be so warmly welcomed from the second you arrive that you will feel like part of the family. They are so bright and cheery that you can't have a sad moment in their presence (unless you consistently lose at cards and Len makes you well aware that you were LAST :-)

#2 - Julia's cooking - Hands down delicious. You will feel like you are eating love. Seriously! The attention and care she puts into preparing meals is spot on. In fact, I would start thinking about what was for dinner around 11am. SO SO GOOD.

#3 - Their House - On the water, beautiful, comfortable, private.... the photos speak for themselves! A slice of paradise and luxury for a backpacker.

#4 - Activities & Entertainment - I have never had workaway hosts go so above and beyond to make my time so fun and enjoyable! They organized and offered to take me (and fellow workawayer Nicole) on various excursions and trips and had such a generous outpouring of sharing their lives and love of their town and its surroundings with us. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

#5 - Humor - The two of them are so much fun and very open-minded. The jokes that were thrown around during my stay bring me so much joy that I'm giggling right now as I write this :-)

#6 - The Work - It's varied and fair and mostly outside in the beautiful weather. VERY flexible and they will make sure you feel supported by giving clear directions and checking in to make sure all is going well (plus when they are free they are right out there with ya in their amazing garden).

#7 - Conversations - Len & Julia have so many interesting stories to share that there will never be a lack of great convo topics. They are easy to talk to and excellent conversationalists.

I can seriously go on and on and on about this workaway. I feel honored that they selected me to join them on their workaway journey and know that I'll always have an Australian family on the Sunshine Coast!
