Winter 2020-21: Working at a Nordic ski resort. Not currently traveling

Hippie + adrenaline junkie + nerd = Me!
I just graduated with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. My goal is to help advance clean energy, fight climate change, and bring electricity to developing parts of the world. I'm taking a gap year to get some work experience and explore a bit. My intention is to go to graduate school afterwards.

I'm curious about nearly everything, although I can sometimes come off as quiet and shy. I love any activity that involves spending time in nature (skiing, climbing, backpacking, biking). Musical instruments and circus skills are cool too.

Vom Workawayer (Jacob) für Host für (Learn about life in Alaska, ...)

My time with Lois and Eric in Alaska was incredible. I was able to explore sooo much, and there’s still so much more I wish I could have done! I was there from August-November, so I experienced the end of Summer, a month of Fall, and the beginning of Winter. Lots more details below for prospective volunteers...

Jacob is one of the nicest person I ever met. He is always happy and content, wheter it's rainy or sunny. Whatever work you ask him to do, his answer was "great". And he really ment it. He loves all kind of work and he was for hours in the rain and it was ok for him! He is a very mindful and respectful person and I very enjoyed his company. He… read more

I stayed with Luise and her family in Stein am Rhein for two weeks in March. I really enjoyed my time working, exploring, and living with the family. I definitely felt welcome right away as Luise showed me around the big house and expansive garden. Luise is a warm, knowledgeable woman who loves her flowers and plants. Jurg is an artist, always… read more

Jacob stayed with us for two weeks. After three days we thought he was ready to take over the farm and we could go on holiday…Jacob is a quick learner, organized and very motivated to do well. Feeding the goats, weeding in a veg patch, electrical wiring, cleaning the milk stable and much more: every task was done 100% and at high speed. This meant… read more

I stayed on the farm with Chris, Els, Koen and Lucas for two weeks in April. Another great Workaway experience! It was a nice opportunity to learn a bit about France, the Netherlands, goats, and farming. I hadn’t worked with farm animals before, but I had the impression that goats were funny creatures, so I wanted to see for myself. I was there… read more

Vom Workawayer (Jacob) für Host für (Come stay with a Swiss ...)

I stayed with Guylaine and her lovely family for just a few days in April. This was her first time as a Workaway host, but she already has plenty of experience with hospitality and visitors. At the time I came, she and her husband were both busy with work, so they didn’t have time to organize or direct any projects for me to work on. Despite this,… read more

I stayed with Anna and Markus in Dürnten for a week and a half at the end of March. They have a family farm raising cattle and a nice garden.
There was lots of Spring work to get the garden and farm ready for the season. Some examples: tilling garden plots, starting seeds in the greenhouse, trimming plants, weeding, setting up the electric cow… read more

What an energetic, smart and talented young man! Jacob was with us almost 2 weeks and he did so much during his stay. He was basically good at everything! He helped Marcus at the farm and with the cows, prepared our garden, sowed seeds, helped me prepare a banquet for a group of farmers and even prepared a very healthy and delicious pesto and… read more

Dear Jacob!! Thank you for staying with us!!!

Jacob was staying with us for two weeks in February together with Katharina, another girl from workaway.
Their main project was to paint the wood for our balcony- they did it very exactly and motivated.

I stayed with Manu, Judith and Lilith for 2 weeks in February. My time there was the best I could have asked for.
Along with another Workawayer, Katharina, our job was to paint a lot of wood for an upcoming balcony construction project. The work wasn’t particularly difficult, and we consolidated it into 3 longer days so we had a longer weekend.… read more

A wonderful Workaway experience! I came in January and stayed for two weeks. Matthias and Nina run a high-quality hotel that’s been in the family for generations. Schladming is known for its downhill skiing and tourism is definitely a big business here. I was set up with a room in a house right behind the hotel. Nina and Matthias have two cute… read more

Jacob stayed with us for 2 weeks. During this time we had very hard snow falls and he was so helpful with shoveling away almost all day long. Our two dogs also loved him straight away and enjoyed their long walks. Everyone is lucky, if Jacob stays with them.
Thank you, Jacob, for all your help. We wish you lots of more great travelling stories… read more

Jacob stayed for just a week in January, but when he left it felt like something is missing - he belongs here. Jacob was a great help for me. He even found what was wrong with the defect fan - an error the electrician did not discover...
Jacob is a clever and interesting person and I really liked having him around in the house. He is a good cook… read more

Thank you Agnete for a wonderful (although too short) week in Stange in January! It was the perfect end to my semester in Norway. This was my first WorkAway experience and I couldn’t have asked for better.
Agnete is a remarkable woman with the vision and whimsy to dream up all sorts of projects, and she has the rare tenacity to actually see them… read more
