Description
I've lived in Australia, South Africa, the USA, and Thailand and have volunteered in more than forty countries through Workaway. I love surfing, skiing, hiking and biking, plus reading, music, and photography. I also have a keen interest in environmental protection, conservation, and sustainability. I'm relaxed but enthusiastic, low maintenance, easily entertained, and eager to learn new skills. I am fully vaccinated.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I'm good in the garden: planting, pruning, and mowing, and I like farming and working with animals. I enjoy much in hospitality: assisting guests and travelers, tour guiding, waiting tables, housekeeping, and helping in the kitchen. I’m a certified English language teacher, plus, an excellent writer and editor having spent many years as a journalist and in public relations/marketing.

There are hosts you have to work for and others, like Dave and Maria, who you want to work for. They have embarked on a wonderfully beneficial project for the environment in their beautiful corner of upstate New York that was a pleasure to be a part of. Join in.

Peter has the most Zen-like demeanor of anyone we've ever had the pleasure of living with in our home: calm, dilligent, patient, hard-working, modest in appetite, comfortable anywhere with anything,. He does, however, prefer dogs over cats.
People like Peter are why we do Workaway.

Physical, satisfying farm work. Lots of animals. Delicious local and national dishes. Peaceful countryside. If those appeal to you, come. Armin and Isabel are welcoming and appreciative hosts who provide everything you need, including a great education about the real Mexico along the way. A highly recommended Workaway.

There are many hosts who misrepresent themselves and the work, provide few if any meals, and see their volunteers simply as free labor. In other words, they fail in what's expected when agreeing to be a host. This is not one of them. Sean's a model for other hosts with excellent accommodation, food, and location, plus fair work demands. What you… read more

A fantastic Workaway. I had heaps of fun doing breakfast; not just in preparing and cooking but getting to chat with the hotel guests each morning. Jane and Mohammed are cool to work with and the terrace for daytime views and nighttime ambiance is tough to beat. If you're considering a Workaway in Jordan, make it here.
