Descrição

For the past 5 years, I have been traveling around the U.S. (and also outside of it) doing Workaway and visiting intentional communities. This platform is so awesome because I feel like it attracts some of the most amazing people - people who are open minded, open hearted, curious, and alternative. I love connecting with these people and learning from them. I am so grateful that a program like this exists because it allows us to learn from and exchange with each other outside of the box

I was born in Los Angeles and am half Korean, half Caucasian. I grew up in Cameroon till I was 13 but then my family moved back to the U.S.

I would describe myself as responsible, detail oriented, empathic, and curious. I value learning, open mindedness, gratitude, kindness, good communication, and genuine connection. I don't have so much energy for doing physical work as others but am more passionate about emotional and spiritual work. Spiritual and intellectual conversation is very nourishing to me and something I can offer. I enjoy asking people questions that will help them realize things about their lives and the best use of their energy. This is an important lesson about myself I have been learning and so I sometimes ask to work fewer hours in exchange for less food and I will buy what I need. My interests include wellness and healing, nutrition, conscious movement such as yoga and estatic dance, reading, self growth, and basically everything related to health, holistic living, nature, sustainability, spirituality, and alternative living. I love being barefoot whenever I can. I try to leave as little negative impact on our planet as possible and use natural soaps and products. I enjoy composting toilets and peeing outdoors. I do not drink or smoke.

I am friendly and open minded and love meeting new people and having deep conversations. Community and connection is very important to me. Being around people brings me to life and is something I look for in a workaway experience. At the same time, I do also value time to myself where I can reflect, process, ground and check in. Other things I look for in a workaway experience are for hosts who describe themselves as genuinely good people, who are good communicators, flexible, unjudgmental, kind, curious of others, and fair.

Quais são suas habilidades?

in no particular order,

1. Experience with intentional communities and communal living. I have visited (and lived at a few ) communes and eco villages in the U.S. - The Farm, East Wind, Cambia, Acorn, Living Energy Farm, Twin Oaks, Community of Peace, Short Mountain, Sirius, Glomus, Heathcote, Mad Brook Farm, Damanhur, Gaia Yoga Gardens.

2. Gardening and permaculture. I have worked in many different gardens in my Workaway travels.

3. Cooking. I also have some knowledge and experience with making kombucha, water kefir, sauerkraut, sourdough, and also food preservation.

4. Living off grid. I have a lot of experience with this because in Cameroon we were off grid and I've lived in many different off grid communities and homesteads, so I am used to being aware of electric and water usage and being frugal with what is available.

5. I have experience with cob and natural building as well as power tools and basic construction.

6. I have experience with animals- both pet and farm animals. I have done pet sitting though TrustedHousitters.com which is another great platform that I recommend if you need someone to watch your pets for free and/or want to stay at someone's house for free in exchange for taking care of their pets. As for farm animals, I have experience with chickens, ducks and limited experience with goats, cows, horses.

7. I have experience with Airbnb hosting, retreat centers, hostels, and the hospitality industry.

Wouter, Sabine and Owin are kind souls and I enjoyed getting to know them and our conversations in the week I spent here. This area of Italy is so beautiful and their piece of land is gorgeous. It is probably the nicest off grid place I have been too. It’s clean and organized, pretty and picturesque. I stayed in the cute caravan which I so enjoyed … read more and had great sleeps! We had breakfast usually around 9-9:30am and started work after that but you can work whenever. I felt encouraged to do what worked for me and to be myself which I really appreciated. Wouter and Sabine are open minded, spiritual, and health conscious and I appreciated connecting on these things. I helped with digging dirt behind the house and wheelbarrowing it to the garden, carving the bark off chestnut branches, and washing dishes. If you like digging, they would love to have you! I worked for 6 days and had one day off. I was asked to contribute 5 hrs work per day but they were flexible in letting me work 4 hrs/day in exchange for 2 meals/day when I asked. The place is remote and unless you have a car, you probably won’t be leaving much. The food was nutritious, delicious, and organic which was awesome. They kindly took me to a nice cake shop my last day which was sweet.
I also need to share the less sweet parts of this experience because that is only honest. It’s important for me to be as honest as possible to help future Workawayers decide where they want to go and so that it’s a good fit for everyone. Unfortunately in the week I was here, I often felt an energy of stress, tension, and exhaustion. There were relationship struggles and then also caring for the project and a baby is a lot. I am sensitive to others’ energy so that was difficult for me and a reason why I didn’t stay longer. I was encouraging them to let me help with other things instead of land projects so that they could get more sleep, rest, and time to have relationship conversations because to me this was really necessary. I am grateful that we talked about all this and how open they were to have some really honest and vulnerable conversations. I truly appreciated that! Of course this is my perspective and experience and you may have a completely different experience. As you can read from other reviews, past Workawayers had a great time. I am grateful for this experience with the family and what I learned from them. I am sending them blessings and love 🙏🏼🫶

I spent a month here and had a good experience. I recommend this Workaway and I also think there are some good things for you to know. Ruben is the only community member. Others who have stayed longer in the past have all left. This says something. One reason (I don’t feel like going into the other reasons here) for leaving seems to be burnout. … read more There’s always a lot to do and Ruben works all day, so Workawayers often find it unclear on when to stop. And because Ruben works so much, he is sometimes drained and so the energy can be one of exhaustion. I observed that he may not have the energy/desire to get to know you that much. Also Ruben focuses mainly on outside work and the garden, so cleaning the house is usually left to the initiative of Workawayers. I say all this with only the best intentions because I want future Workawayers to have as accurate an understanding as possible. Also, this was my experience in the month I was there and of course your experience will be different depending on who else is there at the time and what is going on. And please don’t let my review keep you from coming. There are really so many great things about this place as you can read from past reviews. I think coming here will definitely have a positive impact on your life in more ways than one.

I recommend this Workaway because it has some of the most beautiful permaculture gardens I have ever seen and it was really nice to be in a place that shares many of my values. Ruben cares a lot about health, fasting, spirituality, self-growth, sustainability, self-sufficiency, etc. so it was great to talk to him about these things and learn more from him. I will be forever grateful for him inviting me to a Rainbow Gathering and getting to experience that. There were no sharing circles while I was there but if you have the desire to help initiate this, Ruben will probably be more than happy to make it happen. I appreciated how he values openness and checking in. I also appreciated his views on life, his desire to grow and be a better person, and how he is educating everyone who visits this project about sustainability and other ways of living. This place is having a positive impact on this world. And if you have a desire to help volunteer with the refugees near Dunkirk and Calais, you can do so with a nearby organization called “Maison Sesame”. If you come without a car, you will get to experience hitchhiking because Ruben does not usually pick you up/ drop you off from the train. The locals around here are very kind and you won’t be waiting long. And another thing, the main language spoken here is English. Ruben, thank you for everything and I’m wishing you all the best!

Spent about 2 months here the summer/fall of 2024. I experienced love and generosity from Penelope and her family from the very beginning. I injured my toe the night before I was supposed to arrive and thought Penelope wouldn’t want me anymore because I could barely walk. But she said to come anyway and she would help me get better.

Becca is a very engaging person and was attentive to all our needs. She communicates very easily without being intrusive. She has been a great help to us and has done all sorts of chores on our property and in our house and always with a smile. It was a great first experience for us with Workaway! Thank you so much 😊

This hostel is so cute and extremely clean! It’s a wonderful place because of the people and great vibes. It even has a cafe and small thrift store. You work 3hrs a day (9am-12pm) 5 days a week cleaning bathrooms, sweeping and mopping, making beds, and doing laundry. The weekends are the busiest days so you will usually work the weekends and have … read more your days off during the week. Food is not provided and the kitchen is well supplied to cook your own meals and the grocery stores are very close. There are also nice bikes you can borrow which I very much enjoyed to explore beautiful Magog. Magog has excellent walking and biking paths I highly recommend. Workawayers typically stay in a shared dorm room with 2 bunk beds. In the 2 weeks I was here, I really enjoyed getting to know the people here and the nature of the area. I loved spiritual conversations with Ronny, Sam, and Anita! And I will remember fondly Josie taking us country dancing, thrifting and eating at Eggsquis with Anita, Sam’s game night of Cards Against Humanity, and the night we had a large potluck dinner. Josie does a great job running the hostel and is a kind and cool boss. And the 3 employees at the cafe are sweet and friendly - thank you Raphael, Ann Sophie and Gabi. This Workaway is especially great for digital nomads or people seeking more time to do other things because of the fewer work hrs. Thank you everyone for such a great time and sending you my love 🤍

Cette auberge est tellement mignonne et extrêmement propre ! C’est vraiment un endroit merveilleux à cause des gens et de l’ambiance géniale. Il y a même un café et une petite friperie. Vous travaillez 3 heures par jour (9h-12h) 5 jours par semaine pour nettoyer les salles de bains, balayer et essuyer, faire les lits et faire la lessive. Les week-ends sont les jours les plus chargés, vous travaillerez donc généralement les week-ends et aurez vos jours de congé pendant la semaine. La nourriture n'est pas fournie et la cuisine est bien équipée pour cuisiner vos propres repas et les épiceries sont très proches. Il y a aussi de jolis vélos que vous pouvez emprunter et que j'ai beaucoup appréciés pour explorer la belle Magog. Magog possède d'excellents sentiers pédestres et cyclables que je recommande fortement. Les workawayers séjournent généralement dans un dortoir partagé avec 2 lits superposés. Au cours des deux semaines que j'ai passées ici, j'ai vraiment aimé faire connaissance avec les gens d'ici et la nature de la région. J'ai adoré les conversations spirituelles avec Ronny, Sam et Anita ! Et je me souviendrai avec tendresse de Josie nous emmenant danser du country, friperie et manger à Eggsquis avec Anita, de la soirée de jeu de Sam de Cards Against Humanity et de la nuit où nous avons eu un grand dîner-partage. Josie fait un excellent travail en gérant l'auberge et est une patronne gentille et cool. Et les 3 employés du café sont gentils et sympathiques - merci Raphael, Ann Sophie et Gabi. Ce Workaway est particulièrement adapté aux nomades numériques ou aux personnes qui cherchent plus de temps pour faire autre chose en raison du nombre réduit d'heures de travail. Merci à tous pour ce bon moment et je vous envoie mon amour 🤍

I spent 1.5 weeks at the farm in the end of July and enjoyed getting to know Ruth, her family, their friends, and the Appalachian Trail hikers that pass through. Peak hiker and blueberry season are from mid June to the end of August and are a busy time on the farm. We typically started work around 9am and then often went till dinner time but with … read more breaks. That was something Ruth was very good at- making sure we took a break every once in a while and encouraged us to swim at the very secluded and lovely lake 10min walk away. No one took days off because hikers are coming every day and so that might be something you want to discuss prior to coming so expectations are accurate. The work is very enjoyable though and I loved the teamwork energy. While there, other Workawayers and I helped assemble office cubicles into “rooms” in the old airplane hanger for hikers. I’m proud of how it turned out and slept very well there. Part of the work routine is baking chocolate chip cookies and making hibiscus sweet tea for the hikers. I also helped welcome and orientate hikers when they arrived. If they wanted to pick a bucket of berries in exchange for a meal, we would prepare their homemade meal and then sort through/quality check the berries they picked as they are often going to a Farmers Market. I’m so grateful that Ruth and her family are providing such hospitality to hikers! It’s a beautiful thing to see and be apart of. It’s also an exciting place to be, with people always coming and going and plenty of interesting conversations. I loved this aspect. I loved talking to the hikers and the welcoming energy of the farm. If you wish to learn more about what it’s like to thru hike the AT, this is the place to be! The house and property are very beautiful and well kept. Ruth has lovely gardens and I enjoyed harvesting green beans, lettuce, and cucumbers and spending an afternoon canning pickles with Ruth’s daughter, Liz. You will eat very well here because many in the family are great cooks and big foodies. In the summer, most of Ruth’s kids are home visiting for some time so it was nice to meet them and enjoy their cooking, particularly Ellie’s. Breakfast and lunch were usually causal, self serve while dinner was a family event and Bernard (who is doing construction on the house) would always join us which I thought was very nice. Ruth took me to a yoga class which I enjoyed and appreciated. Michael, Ruth’s husband is also so sweet and I enjoyed our conversation while sorting berries. I highly recommend this Workaway especially to people into backpacking and thru hiking. It’s a beautiful place with so many wonderful people to meet and talk to and wandering through bushes loaded with juicy, organic blueberries is just heavenly!
