Description
Please sent any replay, also when you cant use my help. Thanks!!
This is my second year in the workaway community and traveling/living with my campervan from now on. Feeling really exiting to quit my job in psychiatry in April and start traveling again.
Did not find happiness in the system so its time to walk my own path again.
Don’t have a clue yet where to go and will see what comes up and what universe has in store for me.
Like to work physically and I am open for all kinds of jobs. Still learning every day so if you are up for it you can teach me whatever is necessary.
Love to meet positive and mentally strong people, listening and exchange life experience, like to cut there hair and love animals.
So let’s make your place even more beautiful than it already is.
A smile a day, keeps the doctor away

Helena was our very first Workawayer, we didn't know what to expect.
We needn't have worried, she was great. She stayed about a month, which is more than enough to get to know if you like someone, and we liked her.
She was willing to do anything - even messy jobs. We gave the task of filling in the cracks in the floorboards of a barn with putty… read more

They are old buildings, but all with a soul… read more

Helena was something like the saving angel for us. The communication was uncomplicated, the cooperation warm and she had an eye for what was necessary and what had to be done.
We would have liked to have kept her here longer.

I spent a week at Christines place and we had a good time. Because of the weather we worked inside the house. Christine wants to make you feel comfortable and also likes to go out into nature with you. The environment is also very beautiful.

Helena stayed only a week in my home, but during the five days she worked a lot happened. The weather was unfriendly and the ground frozen so we started indoors with cleaning the kitchen.
