Description
Hey there--we're Damon and Makana!

We're a passionate and adventurous couple who love getting our hands dirty and learning new things. Between us--we've explored about a dozen workaways in the USA, Canada, Costa Rica, Italy, and Portugal over the last decade. We take pride in working hard and contributing wherever we can—it’s just part of who we are. We have no problems asking questions when we're uncertain about how to approach a task or situation. We love clear and direct communication!

Damon is a teacher from Oregon, a pescatarian, and someone who deeply cares about the planet. He's never owned a car and biked everywhere while living in Oregon. Over the years, he's had a variety of experiences— working in food service, performing as a magician, and learning the importance of keeping his space organized and clean. He is laid-back, open-minded, and curious. Not afraid to jump into manual labor or yard work, and loves taking on new challenges.

Makana is a creative wanderer from Hawaii--who feels most grounded when in nature. She's worked in many fields (from food manufacturing, to hospitality, art production/education/project management) and is endlessly curious about the rich and diverse ways we can all choose to live a life. A process-oriented worker, she loves seeing things through from start to finish (when timelines allow) and is delighted by the chance to help create and manage functional systems. She is ready and willing to hear your story and eager to share parts of her own.

We can’t wait to bring our skills, warmth, love of food, and excitement to whatever comes our way. Whether it’s landscaping, gardening, helping out around the house, or tackling something new--we are ready to pitch in, work hard, and make the most of it!

Damon stayed with us during two weeks. He taugh English to the kids, worked in the garden and painted walls. He was very commited to all the tasks. Furthermore, he is a was very friendly, communicative and tidy person. It was a pleasure to meet him.

I had a wonderful time working with Lenka, Jan, and their three kids. In exchange for 15 hours of work per week, they provided me with a cozy place to sleep and cook, along with plenty of helpful recommendations for places to visit. My tasks included helping out in their greenhouse, teaching English to their children, and painting in their… read more

We loved having Makana and Damon with us during their month of volunteering. Both are incredibly friendly. Makana decorated several areas of the hostel with her creativity and artistic talent, while Damon was always ready to improve the place in any way possible. Together, they created a warm, family-like atmosphere, full of dinners and… read more

The month we spent here was exactly the pace of life we were looking for while exploring Costa Rica. Could not have asked for a more welcoming, warm, and kind group of folks to pass the time with and work alongside. The daily tasks are manageable and the system for getting everything done is well-structured, which we appreciated a lot—outside of… read more

We really enjoyed having Damon & Makana here. They both have a super strong work ethic, they work independent and are caring of the communal space, always willing to help with any of the jobs given. And they helped build a deck that will be a beautiful new space next Summer. Thank you.

Macara and Damon took very good care of my property while I was absent. They were reliable and treated everything with respect. They feeded my cats, kept everything clean, decorated even a bit. And they obviously knew how to enjoy their stay in an old cave with a river and waterfalls, despite occasional cold nights. Before my departure and after… read more

We stayed with Nikolaus for 5 weeks and had a wonderful experience. Half the time we were working on projects and half the time we spent house-sitting while he was away. We did some building maintenance projects like painting, sanding, staining, we re-installed some wooden railings, harvested shells, worked in the yard, and helped out with a few… read more

I (Makana) spent almost three weeks pet-sitting for Angelica and had such a peaceful, rewarding time. The bulk of my “work” consisted of taking Lupe and Dragon on our daily runs/walks/adventures, and spending quality time with them and Salchicha (the cat) in the evenings. I fed everyone daily and bathed the dogs once a week. I also helped a bit… read more

Thank you Damon! We loved having you! Damon was an enthusiastic young man, open to any new experience. His love of food certainly endeared him to us, especially his willingness to eat all sorts of somewhat different food ;). He was a pleasure to have around, easy to live with, and a great help to us getting the inn up and running for the season!

First off, I’d like to say thank you to Lara, Roni, Jay and Mario for hosting me as a workawayer for the months of April and May. I had an amazing time, and would highly recommend this to anyone looking to try something new!

Besides the nice people and amazing outdoors, the best part about my experience was the amazing food. Everyone there… read more
