Description

Hi I'm Rachel!

It's good to be alive on earth!

I'm passionate about being free, having fun, living close to nature, cooking with fresh food, creating art, cultivating beauty and care-taking in community.

I believe in the profound power of sharing a meal with new or old friends and how the intimate bonds created in the home or the table last a lifetime. My inspiration to travel comes from the desire to learn, connect through food, music, dance and story— to laugh and sing and experience the beauty of life.

My background weaves together different modalities of spiritual and nature connection: (Reiki, yoga, qi-gong and meditation.) I've also spent multiple years learning about regenerative agriculture, small-scale gardening, wilderness survival, ecological conservation, ethnobotany, herbal medicine, domestic animal care, and culinary technique.

(I am interested in and want to further develop my skills in film photography, writing, poetry, multi-media art-making, cooking with new and native ingredients, and learn about music-making!)


People often tell me I'm real, down-to-earth, that my laughter is genuine, and... that I can cook a good soup haha! I am joyful, curious, open-hearted and attuned to the energies around me. I'm motivated while working and creating with others but also enjoy moments of solitude and contemplation. I'm always open to learning new ways of being, languages, and how to live in good relationship with the earth and human community.

One thing applicable to Workaway is that I have PLENTY of experience house-sitting. I have watched and cared for many different animals of friends in different places including: horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, snake, birds, ducks, rabbits, and more. I am grateful for the time I’ve spent caring for animals and always, always welcome the invitation to gain more experience doing so. My ability to be detail-oriented and to follow instructions when taking care of pets is tremendous... I love animals just as much as you do! If you are looking for someone who will love your animals and keep your house clean while you're away please let me know!

More specific applicable experience to note is:
-Hospitality
-Farming
-Cooking
-Cleaning
-Animal Care
-Organization
-Etc.

I love to talk and am always interested in getting to know people so if you have any questions please send me a message. I’m more than happy to answer them and have conversation!!!
