Description
Hello All

I am a RV residing free spirited travel lover, who recently dropped the mundane lifestyle to live life more wholesomely.
I have worked the last 3 yrs in the bridge and concrete industry as a concrete laborer/tester. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty or hard work. I have tons of experience with customer service and managing as well.

My dog, Mia, is my best friend. She’s great with other animals and loves people just as much too. Mia helped other dogs at the shelter to get acclimated to being around dogs. She’s a big sensitive babygirl who just wants to be loved.

I love to travel and explore new areas. I want to grow and expand as deeply as I can while I have the chance. I love all things dealing with personal growth, mindfulness/awareness, spirituality, and healing.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Non-profit sustainability and ...)

I wasn’t going to leave a review, but to the events that transpired after I decided to cut my 1 month stay, two weeks short, I feel like I have an opportunity to help other people dodge a bullet here. I can’t speak on the events that happened after I left, since I wasn’t there. I will only share in my experience and note that it escalated greatly… read more after I decided to leave.

I arrived on Blueburired alive on a Sunday evening after 9pm. It was dark out and there was no outside lighting to help navigate to Martins property. It seemed sketchy, although Martin and another person who was staying there, met me. Although feeling a bit unsure, Martin asked how I was feeling, which made me feel a bit more at ease about the situation. I decided to stay the night and see how I felt in the morning. To my surprise, the farm is gorgeous! Amazing views of the farmland hill tops. I met with Martin that morning where he was extremely patient and helpful with my RV and he showed me around.
After getting settled, and wanting to get to work, Martin showed me to the community garden, that had not been touched in a month or so more. (There was 3 people other staying there at this point). So I spent close 5 or more hours weeding, making walk ways more walkable, planting and watering the garden. It was a plentiful garden with pole beans, carrots, chard, beets, basil, peppers, tomatoes and more! But as more people came to stay, really only the same 2-4 people out of the 16 staying actually tended to the garden, while everyone else profiting its fruits. As well as the chickens eggs, who need to be fed and given water every day. I brought this to Martins attention and gave the idea of delegating the jobs to a different person daily. He said “I’ll have to come up with something that’s more fair.” So essentially nothing was done about it besides suggesting that “we put our names next to the job to give incentive to the others” to then do the job. Which it did not.

I was staying with my dog and on day three she had gotten into some rat poison that was never mentioned to be out in the fields when we went out picking chestnuts. Luckily she is a bigger dog and hadn’t gotten enough of it to affect her, but it scared me terribly. Martin was kind and reflective about it while saying “if I had known it was out there, I would have let you know.” Meanwhile it was his sister putting them out there. I found it strange for there to be a lack of communication towards something like that. Later I was told by one of his staff that there were also traps that enclose around an animals neck out in the fields as well. It would have been nice to be aware of these things prior to letting my dog roam freely.

Most of the other people staying enjoyed drinking and smoking, while staying up late hours of the night. I was mostly unaffected by this, while others weren’t so lucky.

The shower is a somewhat enclosed outdoor shower that could definitely use some love and attention. The door was a very old and used hippie carpet that just flapped in the wind. Another woman and I had to bring the privacy issue of the door to Martins attention, even though another guy also felt it to not be private enough. Martin was able to find a fix to the door, which was much appreciated. But, unfortunately, the allowed energy from the men on the property rarely left you feeling safe to take a shower there.

Martin is a kind, patient, and easy going guy. So within that, there really was no structure towards things there. He was often being taken advantage of and was not found to set boundaries ever. I am sure that he thinks and feels “we are all adults here, so let’s act like them” motto should be active within all of us, but truthfully, maturity and immaturity has no age.
The energy that I was hoping for there was community and togetherness, yet I was met with “dog eat dog world” energy. Most people were out for themselves. I got some things stolen from me and when asked nicely for them back, never happened. I never felt like I could talk to Martin about it since he never seemed to confront a lot of the issues regarding the people staying there. He would even stay up to ungodly hours of the night finishing farm work that he set out on the board to be done (never delegating jobs to anyone). He did say to me when I chose to leave early that he found the people staying there to not be taking care of his own things. I found the lack of structure, respect and accountability to be unsafe and flailing. “How far can things be taken?” energy is very present.

There are a few guns hanging around- unlocked and open for anyone’s use. There are people who drink openly ALL DAY. On my second day, I was met with racist and bigotry comments by a staff member that works there all year round. He even told me that Martin had told him to not speak like that. But clearly, that doesn’t stop people like that.

So with all of this being said, to say that it actually got worse after I left, I am very thankful that I chose to leave early. Maybe the experience could have been better if Martin did a different vetting system to make sure that the people who are coming to his beautiful property are those with mature and respectful mindsets. So if you are thinking about coming to stay, I would just make sure you do some further investigating on your part to ensure your stay is meeting your needs.

(Host cancelled stay at the last minute)

Mary and Nancy are fun, funny, caring, easy to get along with and compassionate about what they do. It was an honor to get a chance to work on their farm. I appreciate my time spent there and I’m thankful to have made some new friends!
Mary is very intelligent and has so much knowledge to share. She shares her knowledge by making it fun and easy… read more
