Description
Hello! My name is Kate Nootenboom, I am 23 years old, and I recently moved back to Oregon after studying Geology for four years in Minnesota. I have used Workaway for the past 5+ years in the U.S, U.K, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. I love using Workaway when traveling because it opens up opportunities to feel more deeply connected to the land and people of wherever I am passing through. I am hard-working, optimistic, cooperative, adventurous, and always enthusiastic about the task at hand, whatever it may be. I understand that opening your home or business to wandering strangers is an act of unusual kindness and trust, and I approach every job with the aim to repay this generosity with hard, honest work and genuine human connection.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you think I would be a good addition to your farm/home! I look forward to hearing from you.

Kate and two of her friends stayed with us for only a short time, but they were great guests and dove right into the work around the farm. We would love to have them back anytime!

Really excellent experience living and working with Jill. The work was manageable and interesting, mostly consisting of animal care and helping out with side projects. We were there for only a short time, but the family immediately welcomed us into their routine and made us feel so at home. Thank you Jill and David for the warm hospitality,… read more

Only positive things to say about my stay with Robyn in Raglan! She is a truly gracious and thoughtful host, and I so enjoyed being a part of her peaceful lifestyle. The work didn't feel like work as it was creative and collaborative and she was very flexible with the hours. I highly recommend Robyn to anyone looking for a genuine human… read more

This feedback is dreadfully overdue (four months!? Where did the time go?) but my time with Maria and Shawna was so idyllic I felt obligated to leave some positive feedback, even at such a late date.

I spent about six weeks living and volunteering here, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better Hawaiian work experience. Since I was not there… read more

Kate was a lovely workawayer! In the first minutes of her stay our daughter adopted her as her new sister. We loved to have her in our family, she was always friendly and very helpful. It was a great pleasure to have guitarr lessons with her. And our heartland tv nights were just great. Kate, if you come back to switzerland, please visit us!

Only positive things to say about my stay in Reigoldswil with the Suters! I was only there for a short time, but I really felt like part of the family from the beginning. The work was quite simple and easy and I always had afternoons free to explore the beautiful nature around Reigoldswil or else go into nearby Liestal or even Basel to do some… read more

Kate is a charming, enthusiastic and self-assured young lady. Though she stayed a short time with us, we very much enjoyed her positive approach and attitude to working. As we already had a Workaway couple staying in the guest house, Kate was in the main part of the house and we found her also on a personal level very adaptable and respectful to… read more

Harvey and Kheli are new to Workaway, but you wouldn't know it based on their superb hosting! I only stayed one week on their permaculture farm, but it was an absolutely lovely experience. The work consisted of basic gardening, constructing a few vegetable beds, stone wall building, and log-splitting. It was very reasonable and always completed by… read more

I spent almost two weeks in the Belgian Ardennes with Henk and Veerle and their family and I can honestly say it was far too short of a stay. Henk, Veerle, Thomas, Simon, and Louise immediately made me feel welcome and right at home. They are such a kind and open family living in a beautiful region of Belgium, and I consider myself very lucky to… read more

I had such a great week on this farm with Kylie, Dave, Jack, and Jess! Everyone there was so welcoming and it was easy to tell that they had put a lot of thought into how to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for everyone involved. The work was reasonable and broken up by food/tea breaks every couple of hours, and we had plenty of time… read more

Kate joined us for our work party and first ever work away experience, which lasted a week. We were very lucky to have her come and join us, she worked hard every day, whether it was clearing ground, chopping wood or herding cows, she got on with whatever was being done and really fitted in as part of the team. Kate even chose to help us out with… read more

Kate was with us for the month of September and was a tremendous help.
We were extremely busy during this time. Apart from paying guests we had so many friends and relatives staying and for the first part of Kate's stay every night seemed to be a party.
Kate managed to keep up the high standard in the house and also was a willing gardener.… read more

Maria and Roger! What can I say that hasn't already been said before? My five weeks here were filled with delicious food, reasonable work, inspiring walks and scenery, and good people. I not only had the chance to spend time with Maria and Roger, I was also able to meet their three lovely children, a wide assortment of friends, and, of course, the… read more
