Description
I am originally from Chicago, but have lived the last few years on the west coast.
I worked on my dad's dairy farm growing up and have worked on a number of different farms over the years. I was a contract painter through college and has worked in customer service as well. I have an English degree and I enjoy reading, writing, cooking, conversing, and yoga.
I am an honest and hard worker. I am a yoga instructor and have collaborated on mural paintings. I love to travel and I am always willing to learn and develop different skills.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have a wide variety of skills, but mind the saying, "jack of all trades, expert at none." I grew up on a dairy farm and have experience with caring for animals and crops. I have been doing interior/exterior painting for years.
I have a green thumb and enjoy working in the garden and outside. I am always open for something new.

Joe is the best! He came as a forestry intern and was so amazing, we ended up hiring him on for a while. He is extremely handy and is really great at working independently on a list of tasks. But he is also eager to learn new skills and work alongside others. We are hoping he'll be back in the future!

Joe helped us with the lambing for over a month. He is a hard worker with a fantastic skill set who couldn’t do enough to help during a busy time. He also turned his hand to other odd jobs which he undertook with great care and attention He is also a really wonderful individual who our family and other workawayers greatly enjoyed meeting.

This is an amazing place. Joanna and Fred welcomed me into the family immediately. I was here for lambing season and spent 4 incredible weeks with the family. We ate incredible meals every night and had great conversions. I learned so much about sheep and had a rewarding experience being a midwife to them. Other workawayers were there as well and… read more

John and Katherine were very accommodating and I felt like a member of the family from the moment I arrived. The family is very laid back, welcoming, and always will to share. I most appreciated the flexible schedule and how much both John and Katherine offered to take me to town and recommend a good hike. There was no pressure or stress from the… read more

Joe stayed with us and we were delighted to host him. Joe is hardworking, honest, good humoured, and obliging Joe did painting for me. He is a fantastic painter and a perfectionist at his job. He did some work outside too. There was no job too big or too small. Joe did some Yoga with us and he is fantastic at doing the classes it was a brilliant… read more

I could not have asked for a better experience teaching at Yoga here. I was instantly welcomed by volunteers, employees, and Namit. I felt comfortable and safe throughout my entire stay at the retreat. I appreciated the confidence that grew in my teaching from this retreat.

My purpose to travel is to spend time with the locals and learn their culture/way of life, which is why my stay with Mafalda and Sauro was so amazing. I felt like I was a part of the family on day one. One of favorite moments was one quiet evening with no guests when we were all peacefully doing our work together. Few words were exchanged, mostly… read more

It is comfortable having Joe here.... his third time around.... he graciously painted all the interior doors and surrounds this visit.. and repaired paintwork in the bathroom. As well he helped with outside chores with the animals and keeping the fire burning through the cold snap.
I would recommend him as a helper with any host.... especially… read more
