Description

Hi there,

We are a family of 4; Cairo 2, Amari 5, Shannel 36, and Elias 37. We joined the Workaway community because we want to make the most of our time together as a family while connecting with and learning from others through hard work, food and community. Our hope is to learn from people who can teach us alternative ways of living and to deepen our experience of living off the land. In Sept. 2023, we left San Francisco and began our one year adventure with our kids. We began on a dairy farm for 3 months in Oregon and are currently in La Paz, Mexico.

When we're not working (Shannel is a psychotherapist and Elias is the communications director for a K-12 independent school), our family seeks culturally-rich experiences — whether in our hometown of San Francisco or on the road. Living simply with modest indulgences is what we strive for.

Travel, and Workaway specifically, creates an environment where many of the qualities we hold dear can be cultivated for us and our boys: adaptability, resiliency, hard work, cooperation, exposure to different lifestyles and viewpoints. Above all, we want to raise good global citizens who are curious, compassionate and open-minded.

We enjoy hiking, nature, gardening, exploring hidden playgrounds in our city, practicing meditation, being involved with the Waldorf-inspired preschool Amari attended, volunteering at our neighborhood food pantry and cooking a variety of cuisines different parts of the world.

Beyond the ability to work hard with a positive attitude, we find that our professional skills often come in handy while volunteering and traveling. We are easy going and love meeting and engaging with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Traveling — and doing Workaway — with 2 young kids is new for us, but we are so curious to find out how it will be.

Beyond some core skills listed in our profile, we are open and interested in learning new skills and greasing the wheel of creativity in all of us. We look forward to connecting with the Workaway community!
