Workaway in Hawaii: A Realistic Day in My Life
ฝัง

- This is from about a month ago but it still is a pretty realistic representation of my daily life doing a work trade on the Big Island. I’m currently volunteering at a meditation & ecological center that is completely off the grid, intentional, and community living. I’ve been here for about 1.5 months and am hoping to stay for a month or so longer. I have learned so much thus far and am enjoying every second of my life here in Hawaii.
In this video, I take you along a typical work day and talk more about what this work trade involves and what it’s like living in a community.

So I am really happy I found you because this is exactly how I am feeling so I’m about to go do work away and learn about off grid living 😍 I would also love to vlog about it to spread awareness!
Ahhh amazing I love to hear this!!
Im so happy that you shared your experiences with us. It is really great thing for us to see your life in an other country. I really want to do work trade too, and it s been really helpful. thank you a lot!!
This was so great to watch and organically made (like the food) :) What baggage do you use for your travels, a suitcase, hiking bag, or something else? Thank you for the video!
Aw thank you so much! Sorry for the delated response, I used the Osprey Fairview 40L - it's great!
I love these videos! Quick question though, I'm looking into doing something like this for a few months during my gap year (I'll be 18), though is there an age limit?
I’m pretty sure you have to be 18 or older for Workaway but you’ll have to double check :) Each place itself probably varies so you’ll have to check the specific place you’re applying to
i dont know if this is appropriate to ask but, i would love this particular workaway is there a link you can direct me to?
Kirpal Meditation & Ecological Center on the Big Island :)
@@naturallynicoletta i would absolutely love to do this (thank you so much for the video!) I just couldnt find it on workaway when i searched - is this the title of their page or does it say something different) thank you :)))
@@danasophie6343 also wondering this!
Looks like a lovely place to be.❤️
really informative! i'm waiting until i get my bachelor's then i plan on doing workaway after graduation, specifically education work. have you ever had a paid position doing workaway?
That’s amazing!! This is my first ever work trade so no, but I think it’s definitely possible if you are looking to stay longer term at a place :)
How can I apply to get into this workaway? Please let me know thanks
Go onto Google, it’s pretty straight forward :) look up workaway and and go from there.
I came across this video because I am also looking into this, but I have questions! What do you do in regards to insurance? Is there a phone on site that can be used if you don’t have an active phone? I’m not so worried about have my phone be active if I choose to take this route, but I would like to stay in touch with family. I am looking to make this longer stay than 3 months as I have been feeling called by spirit to take the leap for the past 6 years and just didn’t know workaway was a thing.
It really depends wherever you are and what program you choose but you can talk to the management about these details before going :) At the time, I was on my parent's health insurance and there wasn't a communal phone but I'm sure something could have been worked out xx
@@naturallynicoletta thanks so much!
I love this!! Can I ask who u are staying with I’m interested!!
hi! I’m looking to do a work away, do you know if this one is still available? Or what the link is?
hi! I’m not sure if we are on Workaway but you can find us at @kmechawaii on IG or kmechawaii.org ❤️
Is there an age limit to do work away?
Typically 18+ but you’ll have to double check depending on the specific stay
How long are your shifts?
what is the name of this program?
Kirpal Meditation and Ecological Center :)
How is it at pandemic? Is ok to go to Hawaii?
right now, Hawaii is requiring a 10-day quarantine or negative test upon arrival so it is pretty regulated. I’ve felt safe but I am also living far out from any cities and am not with the people other than those that I’m living with so I have felt okay with everything
I would love to do something like this too, I´m German , so do you know if I need some kind of special Visa in Hawai when i want to do Volunteering there?
Yes, you need working visa to work in the United States
@@lacampanella6172 great thanks
