Description
hello!
my name is Margaret and I am currently traveling with my partner Maggie in a black Toyota Carola named Rickarolla (Ricci for short) . We are both artists and chip away at different artistic projects frequently. Catch us with some books, yarn, guitar/mini keyboard, and a tea pot, among other random items! I currently do some digital work on my computer (one thing being editing an investigative research podcast I have been working on).
Maggie is a clinical therapist by trade w/ grounded energy. Ask her about her paintings though and you will see a whole other world!
We are both looking to explore different parts of America as we have both done extensive traveling individually outside of the country. Both of us are adaptable and wiling to work hard on tasks given to us. At the end of the day we are here to get to know more people :)

Madge & Maggie spent a few nights volunteering & helping us run a public performance event. They were up for anything from art making to compost burying, to collecting donations. Thanks so much for visiting and bringing your energy to this project!

Having Madge and Maggie sharing my home was an absolute delight. They are sensitive, kind and intelligent. Wonderful deep conversations in the evening. They were not afraid to get dirty and completely revived my garden. They worked independently and completed some unpleasant task, like pulling blackberries with a upbeat, fun attitude.

What an incredible experience on Vashon Island with Tamara! My partner and I stayed with her for around two weeks and we are so grateful! We spent time working in her garden and other tasks around the property. I appreciated her transparency and willingness to go with the flow of each day.

I am so grateful for the time we spent staying with Nat and her growing tribe in Bisbee! My girlfriend and I stayed for around 3 months and both felt like we really took part in the curating of community.

I spent around a month at DIH and would highly recommend it ! The house attracts all kinds of people, and I had the pleasure of spending many nights around the dinner table with people from all over the world, sharing all kinds of stories. The kitchen is great for cooking and my chef skills improved drastically while staying here. Karen is on top… read more

Super worker and a great person Margaret was up for any task and was a positive force both out in the fields and around the house. With work she is clever and proactive and was able to form fast friendships with everyone in our community. She would be welcome back here any time.

Good people, good home. The work varies, combining both creativity and manual labor. The food was nutritious and plentiful. I was also fortunate to be with other energetic and kind workawayers/friends, making the already lively atmosphere, even more festive. I would recommend. Have fun (just at your own risk;) !

Margaret is an easy-going lovely young girl.
I could rely on her to run the classes in an interesting and fun way. Our children really took to her and felt sorry she had to leave after 6 days.
She cooked a delicious applie cake with my daughter and took execellent care of our dog.
I strongly recommend her!

She always made sure I had enough material, but I was also gave me the freedom to be creative and lead. Staying with family was nice as I got my own space and many delicious polish meals!

Very young and very mature, self responsible, sensitive and supportive would be the first words after the experience of having Monica in our project.
Thank you Monica. Keep on going, keep on growing and you will be a shining light in whatever you doing.
Love and light from Amrit and Sebastian

For my first workaway, this was a great experience. An clear balance between work and free time with the opportunity to really get to know the other workawayers. The meals together brought a strong sense of community. When Sebastian was around, tasks were very clear (only when not, was there some difficulty. However communication is a value in the… read more

A wonderful atmosphere has been created here at this hostel. Each day was filled was either filled with new friends, hikes, and/or music. The work itself was laid back ,as Marenza trusts you to get the job done. The schedule of one full day and a few days also makes adventuring quite accessible.
