Description
Hello!
My husband Zach and I (Kristen) love to travel! We live in beautiful Portland Oregon. We are planning an extensive trip to Europe. This has been a dream of ours for years now and it is becoming reality! We are traveling on a budget for 3 months. We begin in Greece in March and finish in Ireland in May. We intend to see Italy in between and are also interested in Croatia and Portugal (or truly everywhere!)
We are excited to experience different cultures, meet new people and grow through this experience. We will spend some time doing tourist, sightseeing activities. However, we would really love to spend extended time in a few places. To really become familiar with the land and it's people. Due to our budget, as well as our interest in experiencing life (work the land, meet and get to know locals, have a daily routine) in the places we visit, workaway seems like the perfect opportunity!
We are both hard working, friendly people with adventurous spirits!Languages spoken

We are both good cooks! We have had our own veggie garden for 2 years now and love it. Zach is a manager in a profession that involves intense physical labor as well as handling machinery. We love animals and would love to help on a farm. We both are physically fit, love to be outdoors. Kristen is very good at cleaning and organizing spaces.

What else ...
We are both eager to learn and willing to work hard. We would especially love farm work- tending to gardens, crops and animals. Especially interested in learning sustainable, organic farming. Truly any opportunity to experience a different way of life and help people is a welcome experience!

I am trying to come up with the perfect words to describe our experience.. To put it simply, we felt loved! As soon as we stepped off the train we were met with big, jubilant smiles and embraces! It felt like instant family. Then they took us home to Peter's freshly baked homemade carrot cake (with… read more
They were super-helpful and just the loveliest people to share our home (and cats and guitar) with. We highly recommend them to anyone lucky enough to steal them for a while.
Zach is a godsend to host - the muckier the job, the better! He jackhammered out… read more
