Description
I am an adventurous learner! Recently retired, all 4 kids grown and on their own, and wanting to put my skill set to use here in the states or abroad. I have a positive attitude, a love of people and never shy away from hard work. I have volunteered over the last 30 years with various organizations, in addition to raising my beautiful daughters, and working full time. I may have retired from my career, but not from wanting to continue to make an impact when and where its needed.

Vikki will be an asset to any Host. Hardworking, uncomplicated, mature, and responsible. Vikki uses her initiative to inform you when tasks are completed and suggests tasks that could be tackled, she works well with other workawayers but is also very capable of working independently.

Want to do the same thing every day? Don’t come here😆. Tasks are varied and interesting, from chickens, gardening, dehydrating various garden products and more. Mikki has created an oasis right outside of Dubrovnik. Her profile accurately describes the tasks. I enjoyed my time getting to know her, the projects and hope to stay in contact!!

Back to workaway after a hiatus, and could not have picked a better one! Rudolph was such an interesting and entertaining person, I am blessed to have been able to spend three great weeks in Munich. The work was minimal, help with his online orders and basic housekeeping. After that it was hearing his tales of South Africa and other travel… read more

What a great experience helping out at this camp. I was truly blessed by Nate, and his team during my time here. Yes, the work was long, but rewarding, helping in the kitchen, snack shack and general crowd control for 50 plus kids keeps you on your toes. I also had the pleasure of working with Jessica M, Ebeth, Marsha and Al who will always remain… read more

Vikki was the most perfect guest and she really fit in well with the farm! Instantly, she starting cooking, cleaning, organizing... she is better than Mary Poppins. She is an excellent conversationalist and has a very diverse background both professionally and personally. She is well-read, loves to (and actually!) travel, and is the best person to… read more

We LOVED having Vikki stay with us and definitely did not want her to go! She is hard working, friendly, lovely to talk to, was kind and engaging with our children and didn't ever complain about any of the tasks we needed help with. (She basically re-organised our entire house and we now have systems and 'homes' for things that didn't have homes… read more

Vikki is keen to make a difference. A nice woman on a bit of a soul searching journey she reached out to me from the States, and flew over to become part of my team. Very special to me, she asked me was there anything she could bring me, and hearing of my love of good hammers imported me a mighty estwing hammer which will be appreciated all my… read more

What a joy to have my first workaway experience to be so positive!
The environment, , the local people, (props to Paul, Rosie,and Royden), and fellow workawayers all kept the atmosphere lively and entertaining. Priceless is what comes to mind meeting people young and older from such diverse backgrounds, yet mesh together so well!
Big thanks… read more
