Descrição
Hi!

I'm Sara. I'm from Belgium (that tiny country with excellent food and drinks that people tend to drive through on their way to more important places like Paris or London). My parents weren't happy with the weather there so I partially grew up in Australia and New Zealand. During college I decided to visit Finland, mostly out of curiously because I didn't know anything about the place (something about lakes and sauna?). It turned out to be an interesting place and I stuck around for a few years. Now I'm setting out to travel for a while. My mission on this trip is to connect with people in a meaningful way, to take a break from my much too digital life and to learn and do things I would normally never consider if I were to continue in my own bubble-to try new things and learn as much as I can. I don't have a destination, I'm going to go wherever feels right or seems interesting.

Quais são suas habilidades?
I'm assertive, good at improvising, have a can-do attitude and learn fast: if something needs to get done I will find a way to do it :)
I'm a designer (I have a degree in industrial design, finished college about a year ago). I'm good at drawing, understanding people and the problems they're having and coming up with solutions. My job is basically problem solving.
I get along with pretty much anyone, and can work well in teams as well as independently
I know CPR and first aid (used to be in the red cross as a volunteer and a beach lifeguard in Belgium)
I've got a sense of humor :)
I'm pretty good at building things and would like to get better at it
I'm very patient
I'm good at working with computers since that was part of my job as a designer, but I'd prefer to stay away from technology as much as possible during my travels
Idade
37
Algo mais...
I'm relentlessly curious. If you have something interesting to tell me I'll want to know all about it :)
My passions include stories, science, music (especially lyrics driven music or classic rock), being outside, guitars, cashews, and the color yellow. I think I'm quite open minded and I'm really easygoing.

I've got experience working as a designer (in Helsinki), teacher (Aalto university in Finland), ticket salesperson for Belgian trams, Red Cross volunteer, coastal lifeguard, facepainter for kids at a theme park, babysitter, caretaker for animals at a shelter in Belgium, baker in a small bakery in Peru, Alaskan oyster farmer, Canadian cattle rancher and goat milker, garderner, heavily improvised furniture builder, coffee roaster in Mexico, cob house builder in southern Oregon, and all sorts of other random jobs.

Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask :)

Thanks Sara: It was great to have you volunteer for us. We really enjoyed your company, as I am sure our other workaway volunteers did, and hope to see you again during your stay in the region and your not only welcome as a friend, but also as a workawayer, should you wish to do so. As for those interested in a reference, I can only say that Sara… read more

Sara was an indispensable part of the team during her stay with us. Her wide-ranging knowledge and experience was fantastically helpful for nearly every aspect of our project.

I spent about three weeks here in October 2015. It was a fantastic experience. The core team is made up of ambitious, fun and interesting people, who are moving the project forward at a great pace. It was fun to see the building and gardens change so much in my short time there, and to get to work on very different kinds of things. The atmosphere… read more

Wow, what a comment! I wich i could be so convincing to recommend Sara.
She arrived at the farm at a very complicated time : cold and rainy winter, after the volcano's eruption and with so many things to fix and do. I thought she would not hold for more than a couple of weeks but she staid 2,5 months and did a great job. I've been surprised by… read more

This ranch is amazing.

I have been traveling for 2.5 years non stop now, and have volunteered and worked in many places, but this one definitely stands out. I came here at a rough time, but even so, I came to stay for a month and only left eventually after 2.5 months. After 2.5 months the incredible views and the amazing starry night skies… read more

I spent two weeks at the hotel, and it was my 9th workaway.

The location is great: Just outside of the tiny and pretty town of Yanque, close to many hot springs and good hikes.
As I have been traveling for quite a while, I really enjoyed having a room to myself for a change.
The hotel staff are really great - they were always friendly, fun to… read more

Sara spent over a month with us in November 2014. She shares our interest in science, technology and social change and hence we always had a lot of nice discussions. It was stimulating and fun to learn from each other. We took advantage of her great design skills and she did some beautiful drawings of our buildings.
Sara is very friendly and… read more

Sara is a lovely young lady and it was our pleasure to have her stay with us.

I stayed with Bernard and Isobel for about a week and a half in mid September, and I'm so glad I did. They're wonderful people with lots of great stories and a great sense of humor. I helped with all kinds of things, mostly to clean up the shed (sweeping, painting etc). It was cool to see the herd of buffalo run past the house in the evenings, and… read more

Sarah and her friend Josh were great assets during their stay. They willingly undertook projects without a second thought and got them done. We came to rely upon them in any sort of a crunch and they always came thru with industry and creativity. Highly recommended.

Sara was an absolute pleasure to have on the farm! We would have loved to have her even longer but she had some more exciting adventures ahead. Sara was a fast learner, worked very hard, and was always positive and a joy to be around. She excelled at everything she did out here.

I was very lucky to stay with Jerry for 6 weeks in the spring of 2014. This workaway was fantastic in every way. I wish I could have stayed longer, 2-3 months is probably a good length of stay (if your schedule allows it). It's amazing how every day is different out there, and you never know what you'll run in to. The wilderness around you is… read more

I had a great time staying with Drew and Jonathan on their beautiful almost-farm in the mountains for two weeks (summer of 2013). They are very warm, smart and open minded people and patient teachers :) I learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. Thanks guys!
