Beschreibung
Basically, I am a nature-loving person! I've got a bachelor's degree in biology, and currently I am studying a master's programme in sustainability sciences. Furthermore, I am working for a environmental and nature conservation organisation in the field of communication. During my free time, I love being outside, doing sports (volleyball, bicycling), enjoy gardening, support (political) initiatives, cook vegetarian and vegan food and hang around with friends. Sounds naive, but my highest motivation in life is to somehow change the world and save this wonderful planet!

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I'm this kind of person that basically does everything a bit and quite good, but I've not got this one big skill that defines me. I like working a lot outside (gardening, constructing), I like cooking vegetarian and vegan meals, I like working together with people and I like reading and writing - I guess, I've got some experience in a lot of things.

I already spent one year as a volunteer (working with children and adolescents) in South Africa. During my studies, I spent 5 month for an internship (in the field of nature conservation) in Costa Rica. Therefore, I am quite experienced in getting along abroad.

vom Host (Enjoy a farm stay while being ...) für Workawayer (Jana Marion)

Jana and Flo were managing and running the farm for 3 weeks while I was away.

I didn't see them much, had only a week to teach them all the work and routine to do.
It al went well and the farm was handed back over like I left it.
They are hard working and able to take own initiative when problems arise .
I can highly recommend them.

Thanks Jana… read more

Vom Workawayer (Jana Marion) für Host (Enjoy a farm stay while being ...)

Flo and me (Jana) had a great time at this Workaway!

Karl picked us up on a Monday evening in Estcourt. Then, we had 3 days before he left for a 3-week-hiking-trip to Nepal, learning how to take care of his horse farm. Of course, we knew that we were going to farmsit his place in advance.

While Karl was away, we maintained the vegetable… read more garden, built a bridge, maintained fences, brushcutted alien plants, maintained saddles and bridles, fed the cats (and sometimes the dog), groomed and took care of the horses. Also, we organised horse rides as Karl had lost his phone in Nepal (normally, he would organise them). Luckily, we worked together with Nathi, who is employed at Karl's place for quite a while and is especially very good with the 18 horses.

We are both not professional horse riders, that's why we didn't guide horse rides. However, we were allowed to join some rides, thanks for that!

We didn't stay in the volunteer house as we needed to cook for ourselves. The cottage we stayed in was perfect for us, we felt very comfortable, safe and had a lot of fun cooking our dinners and baking our own bread in the gas oven!

Before he left, Karl provided us with basic food (oats, bread...) and took us to a vegetable place and a supermarket nearby. Also, we were allowed to use all vegetables in his garden and had plenty of oranges and lemons due to the trees on the farm. He gave us everything we asked for that we needed to survive the 3 weeks that he was gone. For example, Karl has two nicely working bicycles, so we were able do more shopping or activities in the environment on our own.

The environment is just stunning! The farm is located nearby the Drakensberg national park (Culfargie), and we enjoyed a lot the outdoor activities (hiking, swimming, cycling and of course, horse riding). As the area is quite touristic, there are many places to get good food and drinks as well as further activities nearby. It was quite a bit of work to go to places by bicycle, as it is very hilly, but it was worth it!

We didn't spend too much time with Karl, but perceived him as a very pleasant and supportive host. Before he left, he introduced us to people and places in the area. Two times, we had the famous pizza evening with home-made pizza in the oven with him and some friends, which we enjoyed a lot. Also, we drank some cocktails and beer together and listened to his fun stories from all over the world. As we felt very welcome, we even visited him, the horses, the cats and the dog (Puma was definitely a very good friend for us!) a second time!

Thanks Karl for the good time we had and all the best for you!
