Descrição
Hello there, my name is Ava. I'm 31, from upstate NY USA and have been solo traveling the world using WorkAway since January 2023.

I’m a hard worker with flexible expectations when visiting new places. The main thing I love about work exchange is getting to step into someone else’s world for a bit and learn their way of life, exchange ideas, learn about different cultures etc :) so I try to stay relaxed enough to be open to all different experiences.

In my time off I also like to be fairly easy going, happy to relax somewhere with a book or take a hike/go out to see some local sights - absolutely ALWAYS happy to sample local food and drink or cook a meal together.

Quais são suas habilidades?
I'm a food service professional with 14 years of restaurant experience - both working as a cook/baker and also as a waitress and manager.

In 2023 I volunteered as a tour guide in Vietnam and Thailand, I was told many times by guests that my tour was the best they had on their whole vacation. I also helped on two homesteads in Spain doing some gardening, animal care and preparation of meals and have been told my energy is very easy and light to have around. In the summer I ran the kitchen of a hotel in Bavaria Germany and managed their biergarten grill for the season. This included all food ordering, management of staff, recipe development, daily operations and food preparation.

I’m very reliable and detail oriented, as well as a reasonably quick learner and problem solver. I get along well with most people I meet.

It was a great pleasure for us to host Ava in our home & project :) She has been a very happy, sweet, caring and pro active part of the project. Ava helped us with garden work and a lot of work inside the house, and she took a lot of initiative in organising / cleaning several spaces in the project - her organising skills are pro. We enjoyed the… read more

I stayed at Linde & Said's for ten days in December 2023.

Linde connected me with another volunteer, Lenka, who was set to arrive a similar date to me. I have to say "shokran" for that specifically because Lenka and I ended up traveling to two other jobs together from there! :)

I can confirm a lot of what the existing reviews state: Linde and… read more

Meeting Ava through Workaway in Agadir was an absolute delight! She's not just knowledgeable and smart, but her enthusiasm, constant smile, and boundless energy made our evening together truly amazing!! Ava is genuinely attentive, a good listener, and a joy to be around, instantly making a lasting impression. Our meetup was both informative and… read more

I got together with Abdell for coffee while staying with another Work Away host in Agadir and he is just the most pleasant and enthusiastic guy you could hope to meet! Knowledgeable and loves exchanging information and experiences, he's a total pleasure to chat with and is so happy to share recommendations and make new connections. Only negative… read more

I worked at Ahmed's place for just seven days in January 2023. Though it was a short stay, my shortest ever through WA, Ahmed's place and its' guests definitely left a lasting impression on me.

Ahmed is overall a really pleasant and honest guy and you do get sort of the cozy feeling that it's a "moroccan family house" with his mother cooking… read more

I stayed at Hamza and Mounaim's for close to a month in December 2023 and I have to say, I think that house in Tagounite will always feel like a home to me!

As some other reviews have mentioned, the work was not rigorous at the time of my visit. It mostly just involved helping to keep the house running and our big family of volunteers fed as well… read more

Ava has been working at hour hotel and restaurant this past summer. Over the 4 months, she has taken responsibilty of the beergarden food and kitchen ordering. She has very high standards to herself. Her work ethic is great and she is a great team player. If you will work with Ava, you are sure to have won a very dedicated and hard working woman!… read more

I joined the team for the summer 2023 season with no particular expectations. I was just looking for a job but I can genuinely say I left there with a whole family of co-workers that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Lily and Lucas are a really funny, hardworking and dynamic couple. They have high standards for their work and definitely expect the… read more

I can only review Meike as a host, as Paul was away at my time of visit, but if they are partners I’m sure he’s a lovely person because staying with Meike and her sweet dog Tabba was an absolute pleasure!

I truly admire all of the hard work they have put in to create their finca, it was a perfect little oasis for me when I needed somewhere to… read more

Ava war meine erste workawayerin. Hätte ich vorher mir eine Wunschperson vorgestellt, Ava wäre dabei heraus gekommen! Sie erfasst die Dinge so schnell, dass Sie innerhalb kürzester Zeit eine selbstständige Hilfe ist. Sie ist ein interressante, humorvolle und offene Person und nebenbei eine exellente Köchin. Sie wird ein Gewinn für jeden Host sein… read more

In their profile Tom and Cecile state "we aim to create a quiet and open environment for people to feel respected in, to learn and to explore." I could not have found this more true in my 5 week stay with them!

“I'm generally pretty flexible and easygoing but reliable and with high standards for my own work.” This is how Ava introduced herself in her first message on Workaway. From the very start, we felt how very accurate this description is!
Ava has been helping us with pretty much everything from shearing sheep, scouring fleeces, and trimming hooves… read more

Totally recommend this Work Away for so many reasons! Manouk and Agnes, who run the foundation, are extremely hardworking and inspiring women to work for and as others have mentioned the acommodation feels really luxurious for a Work Away. Manouk and Agnes always made me feel comfortable and even though they have plenty of other things to attend… read more

We were incredibly lucky to have Ava stay with us for a month.
She brought such a positive attitude and is a hard worker.
She has deep-cleaned our museum, improved some of our existing systems and guided many many successful tours.
Her kindness was contagious to everyone around her.
Nothing was too much for her.
Anyone would be lucky to have… read more
