Description
Salut, hola, hi! I'm Jes. I live in Oregon, USA (Kalapuy Ilihi). I moved to Europe when I was 21 to work on de-americanizing my mind. I started teaching and lived there for 4 years, then returned to the US in 2018 because I wanted to support immigrant families during the trump shitstorm (the US government has always been terrible, but this is next level.) I am currently working as a teacher for Latinx and Indigenous youth (middle school and high school level) and as a technology tutor for spanish-only elders. I also DJ, I love curating and sharing music and hosting fun events. I love to travel with a purpose and build relationships, which is why this is my ninth year as a registered workawayer.
I'm energetic, social but independent, humorous, an oddball, a swimmer, a punk rock spirit, an activist, fiery and loving. I was born to work with youth. Skilled interior organizer, designer, very creative mind. I also love to work with elders, and I love animals (I do eat them though. Respectfully.) I come from a farming family, so I appreciate honest physical labor and working with animals as well as more social work. I am very engaging and outgoing when working one-on-one with people. I have experience in most sectors, including teaching, front desk/secretary, animal care, farmer/gardener, design and decor, painting and doing murals, writing and editing, waittress & bartender, curriculum planning, choreography and play direction, bike tour guide, event organizer and project leader. Fluent in English and Spanish, French intermediate. I can promise you an honest and humble effort to help in whatever you need. I am grateful to be considered and excited for new projects, new skills and new friendships. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

RE: Video
The video on my page is from 2014, when I was 21 and just starting as a workawayer :)
RE: Feedback
Most hosts I've stayed with didn't think about leaving ratings at all and for the most part, neither did I. Oops!! I served as a workaway volunteer at a family farm in Austria, in an AirBnB for downhill mountain bikers in Slovenia, on a homestead in Hungary, for a charity called No Name Kitchen providing food to immigrants in Serbia, and at a dog rescue in Greece -- all wonderful, wild and positive experiences.
