Description
Hi, I am a father of two grown-up sons, happily divorced and used to work in the IT Sector for 20 years. Felt like it is time to look after myself. I took a break from work and started to focus on what is important to me today. Always loved to travel. In the last 7 years I have been travelling around Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia in order to get to know foreign cultures.
Supporting and helping people were always a matter of the heart to me. I am a pet lover and follow an active and healthy life-style. I don't smoke rarely drink and work out almost every day.

More details about your skills
When I decided to leave my professional career as a Marketing Specialist and Sales Representative behind some years ago I intended to take things down a notch. I basically went travelling to Malaysia volunteering at various places like running a campsite at a secluded beach or socializing with backpackers and locals at guest houses to make their stay more comfortable and enjoyable. One of my qualities people say is to approach openly and make it easy for them to feel home. Keeping things neat and tidy is a matter of heart for me.
Among other things I worked at an ECO-Camp at Kinabatagan River in Sabah, Borneo, lately helping with reforestation.

Lutz came to us at a time when there is a lot to do in the garden.
He was a great help with tasks such as weeding, cleaning up garden paths, planting new beds, cutting bushes, watering flowers etc.
Other jobs Lutz did included laying paving stones in various places in the yard and garden and various repair jobs (we now have a wonderful barbecue… read more

In the almost 4 weeks that I was able to spend with Angelika and Thomas, I got to know them as warm, humorous and caring hosts. Their uncomplicated and open manner ensures that you quickly feel comfortable and happy to get involved in the upcoming tasks. Your own ideas and suggestions are always welcome.

Craftsmanship is helpful, but both are… read more

Lutz war der erste Gast, den ich über Workaway bei mir willkommen heißen durfte. Diese für mich neue Erfahrung hat all meine Erwartungen an Workaway übertroffen.
Auf Lutz kann man sich in jeder Situation uneingeschränkt verlassen. Er hat die große Fähigkeit, vernünftig und logisch zu denken. Dadurch erkennt er selbständig anstehende und wichtige… read more Aufgaben. Gerade wenn ich von den Herausforderungen des Lebens den Kopf voller eigener Gedanken hatte, nahm er mir Grundlegendes in Haus und Garten ab und verwöhnte mich mit leckerem Essen.
So viel Hilfsbereitschaft und Zuverlässigkeit zu geben, ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Es war ein schönes Miteinander, wir arbeiteten Hand in Hand.
Im Gegenzug versuchte ich ihm viele schöne Plätze zu zeigen und unsere Kultur in Franken zu vermitteln. Wir probierten viele regionale kulinarische Spezialitäten, darunter auch das berühmte Bamberger Bier. Auf diese Art erlebte auch ich ein Stück weit meine eigene Heimat neu - ähnlich wie ein Tourist zuhause. Die Herzlichkeit und Fröhlichkeit von Lutz machten unsere Ausflüge für mich zu „kleinen Urlauben vom Alltag“.
Lieber Lutz, dafür danke ich dir von Herzen! Für die schönen Momente, für die ich mir ohne deine Anwesendheit keine Zeit genommen hätte. Und auch für die tiefgehenden Gespräche und Denkanstöße und für die Ermunterungen, Neues auszuprobieren.
Meine Tochter Ida und ich, wir wünschen dir für deine weiteren Reisen an interessante Orte noch sehr viele dieser schönen Begegnungen auf der Basis eines wertschätzenden Austausches und Miteinanders.

Lutz was the first guest I was able to welcome via Workaway. This new experience for me exceeded all my expectations of Workaway.
You can fully rely on Lutz in every situation. He has the great ability to think rationally and logically. As a result, he independently recognizes upcoming and important tasks. Just when I had my head full of my own thoughts about the challenges of life, he took over the daily routines in the house and garden and furthermore spoiled me with delicious food.
Giving so much helpfulness and reliability is not a matter of course. It was a nice togetherness, we worked hand in hand.
In return, I tried to show him many beautiful places and to convey our culture in Franconia. We tasted many regional culinary specialties, including the famous Bamberg beer. In this way, I also experienced my own homeland anew - similar to a tourist at home.
The warmth and cheerfulness of Lutz made our excursions to be like "small holidays from everyday life" to me.
Dear Lutz, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! For the beautiful moments for which I would not have taken time without your presence. And also for the in-depth conversations and food for thought and for the encouragement to try out new things.
My daughter Ida and I, we wish you many more of these beautiful encounters on the basis of an appreciative exchange and togetherness for your further journeys to interesting places.

If you asked me why I appreciate Workaway, my answer is clear: Because of great people like Angela!
I felt at home with her at all times, had a lot of fun with our joint projects in the house and garden and getting to know the beautiful Franconian culture and nature. So it's no wonder that a stay originally planned for 2 weeks finally turned into… read more

Meine Zeit mit Dagmar war gespickt mit tollen Momenten, vielen lieben Begegnungen und kleinen "Katastrophen" ;).

Ihr Zuhause ist von einem großen Garten mir einer Vielzahl interessanter Kräuter, schmackhaftem Gemüse (die Tomaten sind der Hammer!) und vielen blühenden Zierpflanzen umgeben. Die Zimmer für Helfer:innen sind geräumig und nach ein… read more

My expectations were exceeded by far. With their kindness and hospitality, Alwin and Stephanie’s family made my stay a wonderful experience. I appreciated how they embrace the idea of cultural exchange with workawayers, how caring they are. Within hours I felt being home.

Lutz came on a short notice in spring 2021 and wanted to stay for 2-3 weeks. He ended up staying 3 months. He helped with many different tasks. We really liked that he also did a lot of work we didn´t ask for. He just saw what to do and after a while this stuff was finished. We can highly recommend Lutz as helper but also as a guy for good and… read more
