Description
Hello! I’m Alexandra, and I’m excited to share a little bit about myself with you!

I am an ambitious and outgoing master-of-none with a deep lust for life and a desire to always be learning. Currently, I am experiencing a phase of expansion, evolving beyond the comfort I’ve grown used to in my home state, and following the breadcrumbs toward experiences that ignite the fire within my heart.
I find that I am often most comfortable outside my comfort zone- meaning I am frequently trying new hobbies, making unlikely friends, and trying to always follow a "yes, and" philosophy. Above all, though, I seek community and connection in each place I go.
Art, food, and genuine creative expression seem to be the major themes in my life. The ways in which they manifest are of course nuanced and ever-changing, but at the moment I find myself most engaged with experimental cooking, writing, and self-taught education.
With that said, I'm great at making mistakes, and I am even better at learning from them. I value self-reflection and aim to embrace my weaknesses while aiming to do the most good I can. I do not know everything, but I wish I did, so I am religiously devoted to staying open, curious, and compassionate toward myself and others as I continue to soak up all that I can in my short time on this earth.

I am eager to utilize Workaway to connect deeply with other likeminded people who too are interested in walking each other home. I am excited to connect with you!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
All things housekeeping are natural and familiar to me, meaning I would love to help cook, clean, do laundry, organize, declutter, and assist with projects around the house.
I naturally excel at interpersonal relationships, open communication, goal and solution-oriented work/conversation, and I am actively trying to become more involved/experienced with community living.

Autres infos...
I am an artist at heart, though I have yet to find my "perfect" medium. I have been intimate with crafts and hobbies of all kinds, including textile art, writing, collage, memory-collecting, dancing, sewing, swimming, yoga, and arguably the dearest to my heart- cooking!
Health and wellness (physical, mental, and emotional) are at the core of how I aim to live my life, and food has been one of the most instrumental mediums in manifesting that wellness. I believe that good food is the key to good friendship, longevity, and respect for our bodies, and nothing fulfills me more than to cook for (and with) the people I love.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Discover southern Oregon's ...)

Staying with Connie and Pearl was a great first Workaway experience. Immediately following my arrival, Connie took me on a walk throughout the neighborhood, introduced me to fellow community members, and took me on a bike ride to a local event and showed me around town. We quickly developed good rapport and I felt comfortable in Connies home. In… read more the summer, we often ate breakfast together in the garden, and continued to share meals together throughout my stay. The co-housing community that Connie lives in is one of the best environments I have ever had the privilege of being a part of! I immediately felt welcomed and at home, and have remained in touch with many of the members of the Co-Ho since my departure.

My half of our work trade included various tasks that never felt too repetitive, which I loved. Some of the projects I worked on included, but were not limited to: hanging wall art, moving furniture, cooking shared meals, repairing furniture, seasonal outdoor prep, dog walking/ dog sitting, running errands, sewing, and garden work.
However, I found that our schedules and work expectations began conflicting later in my stay. Although the agreement was 4 hours of work a day, there wasn't always a clear expectation or outline of what work needed to be done. Connie expressed a desire for me to suggest project ideas and ways to keep myself occupied, but aside from general cleaning and pet care, I didn't feel comfortable or willing to take on that role, preferring instead to be given a list of tasks that I could complete. This misalignment in expectations caused some confusion regarding when to be available and whether or not we were both feeling fulfilled in the end.
I think most of this boils down to a personality and lifestyle incompatibility, as I think someone who is more willing to jump in with home improvement ideas and projects is more likely to succeed here!

Lastly, given the differences in Connie and I's appetites, I found that the food situation was less than ideal. Pantry staples like oil, rice, milk, and baking goods were always available, but I did end up shopping for nearly all of my groceries. Additionally, I noticed that a lot of the groceries I did buy, ended up being eaten by the both of us, when I intended for them to be for myself alone. The food situation wasn't super clear in Connies profile, and I admit that this is something I could have communicated more clearly at the time, but a discussion on expectations regarding shared food would definitely be beneficial for future guests.

All in all, this was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about cohabitation, communication, and conflict resolution. I am still connected with the Co-Ho to this day, and have enjoyed visiting Connie in the months following my departure and filling each other in on the newness in each of our lives :)
Thank you for your hospitality, Connie!

I hosted Alexandra for 90+ days in 2025. I found her energetic, social able, and very artistic in the kitchen and with a sewing machine.
She helped in so many different ways including fence repair, hanging artwork and indoor plants.
So appreciated having a willing extra set of hands prepping food for a weekend campout including loading and… read more
