Description

Hello there!
im Rafael, a musician (singing, guitar) and passionate traveller
So it came i ended up in greece four years :) where i learned the language and alot more about this country and began to love the greek and mediterranean area in many aspects.
I have already stayed in quite some workaway places also for several months, . Either over this site or via hear/say and also some "Wooff" projects. Some of these stays happened quite a while ago (first time in 2011 on an italian farm/bed n breakfast place in the abruzzo mountains)
These experiences were one of the best in my life i really enjoyed them though it was sometimes hard physical work but it never got boring :) several times I liked it so much that I expanded my stay. So now here i`m back again to get my hands dirty :)

things i did already:

-General help on the italian farm (help in the maintaining of acres and olive-groves, animal care, renovation work on the old buildings),

-Helping with the olive harvest on an olive grove in greece.

-harvesting apples, producing and selling the applejuice in north germany.

-Working on an organic honey farm close to Berlin, germany (doing the honey extraction on the centrifugues etc.)

-working roughly two months on an off grid olive and animal farm in an umbrian Valley near Perugia.
(Manual olive harvest, manual wood construction, animal care, gardening)

-active sailing on an old wooden schooner for a week on the Baltic sea.
