Description
Hey :) my name is Malou and I'm 22 years old. I recently graduated from university in Germany, where I earned my degree in Medical Informatics. Currently, I'm in the process of planning my trip to Australia and/or New Zealand. My initial plan is to stay on a holiday visa for the first three months starting in November and then transition to a working holiday visa for at least a year in either New Zealand or Australia. I am therefore looking for an opportunity to volunteering in exchange for accommodation, where I can learn new skills and improve my language skills.

I have prior experience with Woofing in Portugal, where I spent 3 weeks working on a farm, engaging in tasks such as harvesting, weeding, and caring for goats. I absolutely loved the experience!!

More details about your skills
I have prior experience with Woofing in Portugal, where I spent 3 weeks working on a farm, engaging in tasks such as harvesting, weeding, and caring for goats. I started working part-time at 16 years old at a health food store in Germany. This experience ignited my passion for organic foods and sustainable products. I love to prepare food for my family or spend time in nature. In 2014, my mother founded an online shop for sustainable and organic superfoods and cosmetics (https://kraftmischer.de/), where I also like to help out from time to time.

What else ...
The most important thing for me is to gain new experiences. I don’t really care which specific kind of work I have to do, I would be happy with anything.
I grew up in a small village, where almost everyone owns a big garden and animals. I love to prepare food for my family or spend time in nature. I love animals and grew up with dogs. That is also the reason why I am vegetarian since I’m 8 years old.

My sister and I stayed with Amanda and Richard for almost three weeks and it was a great experience. We are by no means gardening professionals, but they both were super patient with us while working together in the garden. They love to share the knowledge they have acquired over the years, which is reflected in their beautiful garden.

It was a pleasure having Luna and Malou stay with us for almost 3 weeks. They were polite, tidy and eager to help.

They were certainly animal lovers, especially the cats and the dogs. They learned to do eyecare, grooming, teeth cleaning and medication for our little dogs. There were also plenty of extra cuddles for our furry friends. Each day… read more

I totally forgot to write a feedback, so here I am 2 months later.. I stayed with Kaye and her family for 5 weeks. It was my first destination in New Zealand and I couldn’t have wished for a better start. You have your own bathroom and a very nice bedroom. On top of that you get an amazing view from the house. The work exchange was more than fair… read more

We had an amazing time with Malou! She is an exceptional helper with a fantastic work ethic, great initiative and completed every task willingly, quickly and to a high standard.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Malou. I particularly enjoyed sharing the tasks in the kitchen and seeing the transformation in the garden. Malou helps well with other people or independently. Thanks heaps Malou.
