Description
I am an experienced workawayer and well seasoned traveler having lived and worked in around 10 countries. I grew up in North Carolina, in the southern United States, but I spent a few years living in Finland while in University there.

I've had all kinds of jobs in all kinds of places and I love to learn about the world from the people around me. I'm laid back and easy going, but I also have strong work ethic and strive to contribute whatever I can in the places I stay. What I look for in workaways are communities to imbed myself in and to share experiences with.

I love good conversations and good food, adventures and misadventures, playing music, trying to understand art, cultural exchanges, movies, reading, and forging ahead in this life with open mind and open heart.

I had the opportunity to spend a couple of weeks working with this project on Kos. They needed someone last minute and I was lucky enough to get the chance to be a part of this small, but close knit team and work alongside them to do some truly important and meaningful work in an area of great need.

The work itself is not technically difficult,… read more

I taught at this Academy for one month and it was a rewarding and illuminating experience. Raul and his team are doing truly good work for their community and it was an honor and privelege to be a part of it.

It can feel like a lot of work at times, teaching is demanding work, but the expectations are fair and I felt incredibly welcomed and… read more

[EN] (Español abajo) Hard to believe I forgot to give feedback on this special place for over a year. Some context: I was here during the early days of the pandemic in March 2020 and ultimately had to leave before I wanted to. When I arrived at Punto DF, everything in Mexico was operating normally and there were 0 cases, when I left a few weeks… read more

I spent a month staying at the cafe and I was warmly received and well taken care of throughout my stay. The work is straightforward: making the tea, tidying up the space and speaking with whomever comes through. This isn't a conventional cafe, rather it's more of a speaking club with tea. I equate it with getting to live in a nice apartment and… read more

Ben was a great help for us. Although he stayed for a short period of time he did much more than we expected. He understood what we needed and he was exactly to the point with his work. We appreciate all of his hard work and would welcome him back anytime!

There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said in the many glowing reviews here, but this workaway was very comfortable I was very well taken care of by Elizabeth and the other teachers and volunteers. It is very much a family atmosphere. The work was easy and fun, working with little kids and sometimes teenagers, as well as occasional… read more
