Description
Hello! My name is Lauren and I look forward to meeting you.

I left my career back in Australia and in April last year and have been travelling ever since. I love spending my time exploring, experiencing what life is like for people in different cultures and parts of the world, and writing.

I have done a number of Workaways before - helping at hostels, helping on farms or at airbnbs, building websites and doing some translation work. I am happy to do what work needs to be done and to try new things.

I have been working in the Aboriginal sector as a consultant and want to continue to learn about different cultures and connect with communities across the world. I have Australian Aboriginal heritage myself so I can teach you about this. I also love any opportunity to connect with or learn about other Indigenous cultures.

My hobbies include: writing and creativity, birdwatching, movies and languages. I'd love to share these with my hosts.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Back home I have always worked in roles that require relating to and connecting with people from many different walks of life, and would say this is my best quality.

In terms of work, I am always happy to get my hands dirty, learn new things and challenge myself. Doing Workaways has meant I've spent hours gardening and harvesting, made a chicken coop, made/fixed up multiple websites, learnt about history of an area/group to do tours for tourists, cleaned accomodations, attended community events, and learnt spanish.

My español is at a conversational level, and this is something I would really like to improve on this trip.

While I am not qualified with any trade, the best thing I can bring is my intrigue for other ways of living, and am excited at the prospect of learning skills I can bring into my life back home along the way.

Honestly can say this was the most fun workaway experience I've had to date, to the point that it just felt like home away from home. I ended up extending for an extra week but it's one of those places everyone seems to want to extend if they can. The work is light, Rob and the women who work there are simply wonderful, his pets are adorable, and… read more

This experience with Marcel and Romi, Manu, Matí, and the dogs Uma and Clandestino was incredible. They are so welcoming. Not only that, every person who stayed in the hostel was in love with it, with multiple people asking to volunteer. Together they have created such a close knit family which is unlike any other hostel.

In terms of the work, I… read more

What an amazing cooperation to be a part of! The founders are the kindest ladies and do so much to support the Mayan women of Guatemala. Through writing the content for the new website I learnt so much about the effects of the civil war and of middlemen abusing the financial rights of the indigenous women. I also got the opportunity to stay a… read more

If you’re looking for a unique workaway that will give you an honest view of America, then i cannot recommend James and Joyce highly enough. They are the most incredible, giving people, and surround themselves with friends of the same values.
This workaway gave me such an incredible insight into the cosmology and beliefs of the Navajo, innovative… read more

This Workaway was such an eye opening experience! I had come from a negative one so Rona and Mark made sure that I was getting the most out of this Workaway. Their house is a mini art gallery and has the most amazing view, and Rona and Mark are delightful hosts (with the tastiest food)! Be prepared to see wildlife everyday, especially a huge range… read more

Having an enthusiastic, cheerful, positive person like Lauren around is a great pleasure. Her personality really shines. We had many good conversations; true cultural exchange. She's truly interested in everything. Lauren is very independent and took initiative to make the most of her free time, which was great.

As far as her value as a helper,… read more

Lauren was a joy to host. She worked very well, was interested in everything, was easy to live, work and eat with, shared interesting stories of her homeland and is generally a very good and nice person. We highly recommend her to any hosts considering having her. We met as strangers and parted as friends. Ursula and Barry in Nelson, BC, Canada.

Both Barry and Ursula are amazing humans and were very quick to welcome me into their home. I stayed with them for 2 weeks and loved the experience (it was my first workaway). I was provided with my own room and fed the most amazing meals! While doing the work I could see the West Arm of Kootenay Lake, which made life so pleasant. Work mostly… read more
