Unser nächstes Reiseziel:
Chile - von Jan 2025 bis Feb 2025 Alle anzeigenBeschreibung
We are Melanie (38), Thomas (38), Evelina (8) and Patrizia (4) from Germany taking a 1-year break from our "normal" life to travel the world via work-exchange.
During the last 6 months we made our way from Canada to the US (incl. Hawai'i) to Costa Rica and right now we are in the Chile/Argentina/Uruguay area. Our next destinations will be New Zealand and Australia.
Our goal is to meet people around the world - help them with their projects, learn from them and be part of their daily life for a while.
So far, we were fortunate to make great friends, learn a lot and contribute a lot. All of our stays were unique experiences and now we hope to extend and share this treasure of lifelong memories with you!
We both grew up on farms and now, with the kids, we live on the countryside in Bavaria, Germany.
As a family we are very into nature - spending as much time as possible outside together in any weather and various landscapes. We are used to hot and cold, being out all day and getting our hands dirty.
All of us are open-minded, hardworking and easy going. We quickly identify with our host's projects, bringing in lots of commitment and getting things done. We are used to working independently on a high level and don't drop the hammer just when the clock rings.
Our two girls simply love ALL sorts of animals. So be prepared for your fauna to get pampered and the kids only to be seen when helping us or at bedtime!
As a family on the road for some time now we are used to living and sleeping close together and can adapt quickly to new surroundings.
No allergies, no special diet needed.
We look forward to working together with you and making a new wonderfull experience!Interessengebiete

Was könntest du arbeiten?
Thomas is an engineer and a skilled craftsman/mechanic. He learned his farm skills growing up on his parents mixed farm. He can operate and fix all kinds of machinery from trimmers to tractors and has also done lots of general building and maintenance projects. He is handy with all kinds of tools - DIY is his thing.
He is strong and fit and can help with any work that needs to be done. He's always keen on learing new skills and techniques from people he's working with.
I, Melanie, also grew up on a farm, so I'm used to the hard but rewarding work connected with it. Working with animals was and still is my favorite! Besides that I'm a passionate gardener and love watching things grow out of the efforts of my own hands. Harvesting vegetables/fruits is something I can do all day long! I always try to involve our kids with this to show them how giving mother earth can be. Also by crafting with them using natural materials.
Back in the house I'm absolutely passionate about all sorts of fresh and creative cooking and baking. Besides being mother of our two wonderful girls and all the education and organization involved, I am working independently as a Birth-Doula and Breastfeeding Consultant and support young families in their daily life.
If there is some time left I try to improve my art painting skills with acrylic.
Both of our kids are ambitious doing their own small projects and can take over tasks like caring for the chickens, watering plants, feeding the goats or simply wearing your dog out.
Our previous stays involved working with pigs, sheeps, goats, chickens (meat & egg), cattle and horses.
With plants we did the full circle from preparing beds, seeding, weeding, harvesting, processing and marketsale.
Let's get it on!Alter

What a lovely and welcoming family.
Our children felt so close right from the very beginning and enjoyed every moment together (lots of outdoor adventures and farm animals to cuddle - felt like paradise for our girls).
