  • Description

    My name is Miriam, one of the first things you'll notice about me is that I'm pretty quiet. It's true, I'm shy and I find it hard to maintain a conversation. But ask me as many questions as you like, it will help me to open up. And being quiet does not mean I'm not a hard worker! Please continue reading...

    Me: I grew up in England and after high school I went travelling. I visited a few countries, stayed with about 10 Workaway/WWOOFing hosts, had some adventures...but the adventure is still going! ...as I now find myself in America for the last couple of years. I ended up at an indigenous-led intentional community, with a whole array of different sustainable projects. We work to 'decolonize' through (eventually) a self-sufficient farm lifestyle, ceremonies (the real deal), and fighting pipelines as activists. I hope to bring back knowledge from my travels that might benefit our community. We all help out where needed, although my main role there is to paint murals, signs and banners, or anything artistic that needs doing.
    I love my community yet I would still like to see more of the world. Mother earth's landscapes, the peoples and cultures that are umbilically connected to the land that gave birth to them (whether they realise it or not). My intention is to spend half of the year at my base in Minnesota, and the other half adventuring in new places. I seek a life close to nature, away from the addictions of society, living true ways. I have acquired a few of the skills needed, but I'm still looking to learn so much more!

    My work: I am a hard worker. I can do physical work, also happy to do small, tedious tasks. At the beginning of a new job or volunteer placement, I need direction as my confidence will not be strong yet. Give me a few days, then once I have fallen into your routine, or figured out my own, I am fine to self-start responsibly and reliably.

  • Quelles sont vos compétences ?

    Animal care:
    Poultry - kept chickens and turkeys for many years, worked on farms with birds.
    Dogs - always kept dogs, worked at two Workaway dog rescues.
    Horses - received thorough training in basic horse care at a Workaway horse rescue. Keen to learn more. Not a rider, keen to learn.
    Goats - getting there. Raised a couple boisterous boys by myself this summer and been caring for others over the years.
    Sheep - did some real tradish sheep herding in Arizona
    Other - cats, reptiles, ducks, ostriches and emus. Whoever comes my way. Volunteered for 8 years at a wildlife sanctuary in the UK (birds, foxes, hedgehogs, occasional frogs).

    Skills:
    Painting murals and commissioned artwork. Anything you want.
    Some gardening. I can weed, water, plant and harvest unattended but I would not know for example, what time of year to plant something or how to plan a garden.
    Some experience with food preservation, keen to learn more.
    General work - chopping, carrying, stacking wood. Housework. Dishes. Food prep. Hauling/pumping water. I've been employed in a kitchen, as a cleaner, in a laundromat, an ice builder at Ice Castles, and as general farmhand.
    Can babysit if the children are reasonably well-behaved. I love playing with kids, though my voice is not authoritative enough to inspire loud children to listen :D
    Bees...my community has some bees, I've been up close to them a few times but I'm keen to gain more experience.
    When I was 18, I did a conservation programme in the mountains, counting birds and butterflies, setting up motion sensor cameras in the forest etc.
    Processing CBD hemp
    Once I am confident of my duties, I am responsible, reliable and diligent.
    Happy to do physical work or small, tedious tasks.
    Some computer skills. Can help with websites - good at figuring digital stuff out, good written English and grammar.
