Description
Forever curious, energetic, and excited to learn new things and meet new people! I love learning about new cultures and ways of life around the world. I am an astronomer and happy to look at the night sky together.
I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, in a small town halfway between Philadelphia and New York City. Against a backdrop of my own homogeneous community I became increasingly curious about the wide diversity that this world contains.
I have since traveled extensively, doing Workaway experiences in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America. The more I travel, the more I learn about vastly different people, customs, and philosophies throughout the world. I know there is still so much more to learn. I did Workaway for a year before going back to school, and now excited to do it again.
I love dancing and am always down for a dance party. Life is better lived with laughter.

I had the most wonderful time with Kylie, Nathan, James, Addie, Patrick, Jonathan, and Peter!! The two weeks went by way too fast and left me wishing that I could have spent longer with this lovely family.

We feel really fortunate to have had Tess stay with us for around two weeks. Our house can be busy and noisy and fairly chaotic and Tess got to experience it all! She was super helpful with the children while we were busier than normal with work and they really benefited from the time she spent with them. From board games to music to cooking and… read more

Tess was a great help on the farm and with our community work too. She happily did a variety of tasks including painting, cleaning, gardening, cooking, organising shelves. Pleasant and polite, Tess youre welcome back any time. Well recommended

Had a great two weeks at the winery/vineyard! We worked two 2.5 hour shifts each day with a half hour breakfast break in the middle. The work supervisor Petra was really patient, friendly, and helpful in teaching us what to do.

I had a really, really nice time with Ayumi and her family. Ayumi is a very welcoming and kind host- very energetic and happy to chat and share cultures. Fukui is a bit far from the major tourist attractions in Japan, but has charm and several nice tourist attractions of its own.

Tess was a pleasure to have stay in our home. She was always willing to doing anything that was asked and was genuinely interested in our business and how everything worked. It was a shame she only spent just under 2 weeks with us! All the best with your future travels Tess :)

My time with Doll and her family was unforgettable and truly wonderful. I highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover life in the Outback, learn about farming cattle, or experience genuine Aussie hospitality.

My time in Arusha was unforgettable- one of the best experiences I've ever had.
I spent almost two months teaching the pre-form (~11-13 year old) students and young adults. For the pre-form students, we followed several books and a list of topics. With the adults, I had my own freedom to design lessons based on their interests and mine. Because… read more

I had an incredibly special two weeks with the nuns in Ban Rai this past November-December. The center is peaceful, meditative, and a great spot to recenter yourself after many months traveling. The workload is fairly light- volunteers alternate assisting with alms collection and cleaning the center. There is also occasional gardening work.
