Beschreibung
Hallo!
Ich bin Verena, bin 25 Jahre alt und komme aus Deutschland. Ich habe Kulturwissenschaften studiert und arbeite in verschiedenen Kulturinstitutionen im Bereich Klassische Musik, Theater, Film etc. Von Zeit zu Zeit möchte ich verreisen, möchte aber vor allem Sprachkenntnisse ausbauen oder mich in dem Ort ein bisschen einleben. Dabei kann ich mir vor allem Arbeit auf Farmen vorstellen oder allgemein Hilfe im Haushalt.
Ich war bereits früher mit Workaway unterwegs und habe für 9 Monate eine Rundreise durch Südeuropa gemacht, bei der ich 5 Monate in Italien, 2 Monate in Frankreich und einen Monat in Portugal verbracht habe. Damals durfte ich auf einem Pferdehof arbeiten, in zwei Familien aushelfen und in einem Hostel arbeiten.

Hello!
I'm Verena, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Germany. I studied cultural studies and work in different cultural institutions in the field of classical music, theatre, film etc.. From time to time I would like to travel, but I would mainly like to improve my language skills or settle in a bit in the place. I can imagine working on farms or helping around the house in general.
I have travelled with Workaway before and spent 9 months in Southern Europe, 5 months in Italy, 2 months in France and 1 month in Portugal. Back then I got to work on a horse farm, help out in two families and work in a hostel.

Bonjour !
Je m'appelle Verena, j'ai 25 ans et je viens d'Allemagne. J'ai étudié les sciences culturelles et je travaille dans différentes institutions culturelles dans le domaine de la musique classique, du théâtre, du cinéma, etc. De temps en temps, j'aimerais partir en voyage, mais j'aimerais surtout développer mes connaissances linguistiques ou m'installer un peu dans le lieu. Je m'imagine surtout travailler dans des fermes ou aider aux tâches ménagères en général.
J'ai déjà voyagé avec Workaway et j'ai fait un circuit de 9 mois dans le sud de l'Europe, où j'ai passé 5 mois en Italie, 2 mois en France et un mois au Portugal. A l'époque, j'ai pu travailler dans une ferme équestre, donner un coup de main à deux familles et travailler dans une auberge.

Was noch ...
Ich habe Kulturwissenschaften studiert und daher auch ein großes Interesse an Theater, Musik, Film, Literatur etc. und spiele Geige und Klavier.
Aufgewachsen bin ich mit zwei Hunden, weshalb ich Tiere gerne mag.
Grundsätzlich bin ich sehr interessiert Neues kennen zu lernen. Wenn man mir neue Aufgaben zeigt bin ich gewillt diese schnell zu lernen.
Während meines Studiums habe ich in einem Café gearbeitet, habe also auch schon Erfahrungen im Servicebereich.
In meiner Freizeit suche ich nach einer Möglichkeit wandern zu gehen und allgemein die Umgebung zu erkunden.

I studied cultural studies and that's why I have a great interest in theatre, music, film, literature etc. I'm also playing the violin and the piano.
I grew up with two dogs, so I like animals.
Generally I am interested in learning new things. When you show me a new work I'm willing to learn it quick.
During my studies I worked in a coffee bar, so have yet some experience regarding the service.
In my freetime I like to do some simple trekking and discover the surroundings.

vom Host für Workawayer (Verena)

Verena came in a difficult time, the beginning of the season, when everything needed to get done and ready for our first guests, and she did an amazing job. Always very helpful, first with the renovation works, then with the cleaning. Later when the first guests arrived, her tasks consisted of preparing breakfast and general cleaning of the camp,… read more

Vom Workawayer (Verena) für Host für (Help out a surf school and ...)

I stayed for almost 4 weeks in the Surf Camp and had a really good time there. In the first 2 weeks of march I helped the crew to prepare the Camp for the season, which meant cleaning and tidying up after the winter break. Then the first guests arrived, and my tasks were to prepare the breakfast and to do the daily cleaning. As it was the… read more

Vom Workawayer (Verena) für Host für (Come and enjoy culture and ...)

I spent almost four weeks with Paola. For me it was the first experience with a blind person and I learned a lot there. I could see how she manages her daily life and what is important in the help with her. I also could improve my Italian and get to know to Matera and its old Sassi. As we went to Cremona for Paolas university exams she gave me… read more

vom Host (Come and enjoy culture and ...) für Workawayer (Verena)

Verena has been with me for almost the whole month of February. Ours has been a long aquintance and friendship. Being in love with Opera and fascinated by Wagner, when in June I found her profile and read that she had studied music and came from Wagner's city I immediately knew that we would have a lot to tell and share with each other. And I was… read more not wrong.

From the moment she responded me telling about her interest in knowing me better, I have immediately understood that we would get on well. This experience with her has been magnificent. Verena is a friend for a lifetime. I felt comfortable with her from the very first day. Every evening we talked a lot, laughing and sharing our love for music even if our taste of music differed sometimes.:)

Her positivity and her smile are contagious. Every day, I woke up happily because I knew that I would live with her more and more new experiences. I would like to thank her again for lighting up my days with her smile (which she has even in her voice)

Being excellent in everything that has to do with computers, I would like to thank her again for helping me update my Ipad to IOS 12 or for resolving some small problems with my Iphone. Not to mention her precious help with downloading a few podcasts of a programme (that I constantly follow on Radio 3 ) entitled La Barcaccia which even gave us emotional moments, when an afternoon we have listened together the Dichterliebe!

Even though Verena has not worked with visually impaired or partially sighted people so far, I would like to precise that she has been absolutely perfect in guiding me through the streets of Matera, my city which is not accessible for those living with a disability. She has been impeccable when she accompanied me to Cremona (where my music faculty is) because I had to take two exams.

Besides,I would like to thank again this magnificent site for giving me the possibility to get to know girls like her whom without I could never have been able to go to Cremona. We went through three intense but beautiful days during which I felt protected and in safety as in this whole experience. Verena took care that everything go well, with her perfect sense of organisation. Only after did she confine me to have warned rather strongly the responsibility of my person and for this I thank her.

Her sincerity allowed me to appreciate her even more and to wish her even more the bests.

Saying goodbye has been very sad for me because I consider this splendid girl a sister. Dear Verena, I am sure that we will see each other soon. Maybe on your mythical land!
You know that here you will always be welcome.

If you have the occasion to host Verena don't let it go: I absolutely recommend her, for her education, discretion, reliability, correctness, positivity and tenderness. If I could, would give her more than five stars!

One more time, thank you for everything you have done for me!

Sadly not everything went well with Verena and we're here to write a neutral feedback. For some aspects we would give a VERY GOOD feedback, for others one we would give a NEGATIVE one, sadly.

On one side Verena helped us with many tasks: in the garden, household, with children and also teaching violin to our Daughter and we were mainly very… read more happy about her help and so we say "Thank you Verena".

On the other side we had some troubles, expecially in the communication-relation area:

- In general we think that Verena was not able to separate the role-moments of "helper" where to help a family means to help us in our lifestyle and requests following our preferences; and the role-moments of the "guest" where it's also joyful to exchange and make different requests and agreements, ecc.
- In general we think that Verena made some ideas over us and that ideas had a great influence on how She looked at us during her stay. Sadly :(

- With language, Verena started to chat with us by whatapp in italian doing some mistakes so that we were not able to understand exactly and to be sure about communication. So we answered in English to be sure of our mutual understanding. So, when She arrived to our house She express to us She was already irritated because She had the idea that we didn't want to help her with italian. --text redacted--
We had difficulties because if we gave tasks in italian, She didn't understand right, and if we talked in English, She was not satisfied because She wanted to speak italian. So, what to do with you Verena? We 'are sorry Verena, we tried to do our best to help you with italian, but it seems to us that it didn't work for you.

- Helping us in household. If we need the help A in a specific way, it's because we have an organization in our house that works like that because it supports a lot of details. If we have to explain all the deatails of a why and to discuss because you don't want ot use the tool B and you want to use the tool C (Then after some minutes Davide showed you that tools B was completely ok ecc. ecc.) ... that becomes more heavy that helpful. We are open to talk and to explore different possibilities, at the same time we are the family that give you the best food and accomodation that we can in exchange of help and easyness to stay with us, not the opposite (we help you and we adapt to you in your details on how to help us in order for you to do what you want).

- You helper our daughter to learn violin and we were very happy and we said to you many times "great" "thank you". Which were the problems with us? Why you went away suddenly one Sunday morning? Maybe some ideas that you collected over us? We're sorry, that could be a great exchange to continue.

- One Sunday you woke up and you said "I go away". No informations in advance, no cleaning of your bedroom neither of the bathroom. You just went away. No opportunity for our daughter to continue violin lessons with you, no explanations or time for her to set up a change. Also for our family, just took your decision and say bye bye.

We are sorry to write these review, at the same time this is our point of view of this experience.
That was also good in many aspects and that it could have gone better :( :)

Wish you all the best and we hope this feedback could be helpful for you to review some aspects.

I left Marialuisa and Davide with mixed feelings. On the one hand I really enjoyed being with the kids. Caterina, Giona and Dario are very nice children, very open-minded and well-educated with a lot of energy and ideas what to play and do  With Marialuisa I got along very good and I could receive some cooking advices  I learned a lot about… read more

I had the possibility to improve very well my French in this family. Cinzia and Angelo saw my stay like an exchange so I could talk a lot with them which was a good opportunity to learn the language.
My tasks were to care every evening during the week for Luca, which meant to cook a meal for him and watch after him. Other tasks were to vacuum… read more
