Description
Hey! :)
I am Verena, 22 years old and a positive thinker. I love to meet nice people with a sense of humour.
Thanks to Workaway, I was able to travel to Wales and France in 2020. In 2021, I travelled to Belgium and France. 2022 took me to the amazing country of Spain and its island La Palma. Experiences and people I never want to forget.
I am looking forward to my next journey.
I like all kinds of sports, music, singing, animals, exploring nature, meeting new people and adventures!
I like to preserve the beauty of nature because we have just one Earth and the Earth is amazing. I graduated school in June 2020 and started studying two different subjects.
If you are interested in my help and interested to meet me, don't hesitate to contact me.
A big hug,
Verena

More details about your skills
My native language is German and I can teach you my mother tongue.
I worked on a farm with over 40 horses for 2 months so I am able to drive a tractor and know how to work with horses.
I have childcare experience through babysitting.
I grew up with animals and especially chickens so I can deal with animals and I'm a chickens professional;)
First, I studied nutritional sciences for one year. Now I am studying landscaping and nature conservation so I have practical and theoretical knowledge in soil, plants, nutrition, landscaping, ecology, ...
Furthermore, I play the flute and the recorder and I am able to teach it to you (or your children). I also play some guitar but just a little bit;)
We have a garden and I really like gardening so I am happy to help you with your plants.
I am good in painting, baking, taking and editing photos and I'm happy to share my skills and learn from you.
On my previous workaways, I did:
- gardening (planting vegetables and flowers, creating flower beds, weeding, watering, pruning, lawn mowing)
- harvesting and fruit picking (potatoes, vegetables, fruits and berries)
- animal care (chickens, ducks, cats, rabbits, pheasants, quails, dogs)
- housekeeping (cleaning, sweeping, hoovering, tidying, painting walls, washing the dishes, cleaning windows, doing the laundry)
- cooking
- sanding the floor
- food shopping, picking up orders
- working with clay and biulding a cabin together with clay
- hand sewing
I like to be treated as a person, not as a worker:)
I am happy to get to know you.

Verena was excellent at seeing what needed doing and doing it, self-motivated and self-disciplined and did the jobs really well too with attention to detail. A real credit for those lucky to host her.
Verena was only staying with us for a short while, so… read more
