Description
Hi there! My name is Julia and I am a 24-year-old American girl from Cincinnati, Ohio. When I am home, I work in nightlife hospitality. I enjoy this area of work because it allows me the freedom to travel and come and go as I please. When I am not working I enjoy hiking, going to the gym to lift weights, being outdoors, listening to music and going to concerts. I am also an artist, recently working with oil paints but I have been drawing and painting my whole life :)

I had my first workaway experience in September of 2022 when I volunteered for 3 weeks in the countryside in Ireland. I completed my second volunteer stay just a few months later in the Andean region of Peru. I found both experiences to be life-changing (as well as the experiences I had solo traveling in between volunteering!). After I returned from Peru, I moved across the US by myself to begin a new job in Social Work, specifically behavioral health case management. I quickly found myself miserable at my job and wanting so much more out of life - desperately missing the freedom of traveling and gaining new knowledge and experiences out in the world. So, I left that job and returned to restaurant management where I knew I would be able to save money more efficiently and be happier in my work-life balance. I traveled again from June-November of last year and again for three months this past spring, had more amazing experiences with workaway that reminded me why I love this platform and lifestyle so much. I met many amazing people, had many amazing experiences, and I am excited to continue this journey with more adventures!

While this is just a brief introduction, I would be happy to provide more information or fun facts upon request.

More details about your skills
I have about 4 years of customer service/hospitality experience - over a year and a half of those being in management. Throughout my childhood and previous volunteer experiences I have gained some gardening and farming knowledge (I worked with an irrigation crop in Peru for the first time). I used to babysit/childmind frequently as a young teen and did some assistant teaching at my primary school while in college. I have my degree in Criminal Justice and worked for a year in Pretrial Services at my county jail back in Ohio. This combined with my experiences in behavioral health has provided me with a good amount of experience dealing with mental health, crises, and other trauma-related situations. Through workaway I have learned many new skills that I would likely not have had otherwise. I have worked on building projects, worked in gardens, done housekeeping, childminding, cooking, etc.

I am a good communicator and find myself to be a natural leader. I am easily adaptable to my surroundings and love to learn new skills. I have many other "random" skills, I can cook as needed (used to be a kitchen manager at my restaurant), clean, organize, etc. Really, whatever you need from me - I will find a way to make it happen!

Sorry for the late review! I had a great week and a half stay! We did several activities and tasks throughout my stay, but I think my favorite was building the tunnel for the chickens. I also enjoyed playing buraco with Matias and the other volunteers. We also had a lovely bonfire on my last night and I also got to be part of the asado on the… read more

Julia is one of the most hard-working volunteers we have received, she brings a mix of high energy and good vibes that is impossible to dislike. She was super diligent, every task done perfectly without needing to repeat instructions. She is a joy to have around and she was super patient with the children in the house. Seriously, if you receive an… read more

Had a lovely 2 weeks at Chacara with Simon, Sebastian, and the rest of the crew. I got to learn quite a bit about biodynamic farming, especially working with the lunar calendar which was new to me. Each day the tasks were different for the most part. I helped with cutting grass, planting and transplanting, creating supports for the tomato plants,… read more

I stayed for 2 weeks with Cristiano and Marie and had a great time enjoying the quiet and peaceful environment at Oca. When I arrived there were 4 volunteers total, and by the time I left it was just myself and the other long term volunteer :)

Tasks were mostly cleaning related, taking care of the animals, etc. There is no schedule really so if… read more

Had such a lovely time in Savignano with Anna, Matteo, Giulia and Giacomo! Although my stay was short (one week) I felt immediately welcomed into the home and knew that I had chosen the right place to be. It was nice having a variety of work, such as minding Giacomo and doing some cleaning both at the home and the restaurant next door. Even in… read more

She brought a calm, positive energy, and was always proactive in helping with Teddy, Imogen, and Jasper. The children adored her, especially her creativity in coming up with new… read more

What an incredible month with an incredible family! I truly have all good things to say about my time with Julianne, James, and the kids in Buttevant. I immediately felt welcomed and at home from the moment Julianne collected me from the bus stop. It was great as well to have another workawayer (shoutout to Annabell!) there with me during my stay,… read more

What a great few weeks at Te Fiti! My time with Mathieu, Sandra, the family and the other volunteers was fantastic and went by far too fast. I came into this workaway with very little building experience, and therefore learned a lot in a short amount of time from both Mathieu and the others. I got to work on several different tasks throughout my… read more

I stayed with Paddy for 3 weeks this month and loved every minute of it! He was a wonderful host and showed lots of interest in mine and my fellow workawayer’s interests, skills, and hobbies. I got to learn a lot about the local culture and lifestyle. It was so much more than just a work exchange and I would highly recommend Paddy's to anyone who… read more
