Vom Workawayer (Carlos) für Host (Help with traditional ...)

My stay at Johannes place is a experience that I would describe as detoxicating from the constant stimulating urges of a modern life.
It's amazing the changes in your mind and body when you stop using your digital devices at all times and stop relying so much on the practical solutions of the modern life. Putting your concentration and energy into… read more the tasks that you are doing while you are sourrunded by a natural and peaceful environment makes you entring into a meditative-like state, it makes you be very aware of yourself, your sourrundings and it makes you feel calm even if you are moving your body a lot.
It's defenitely challenging, especially if you are not used to hard physical work and be uncomfortable while doing it, so don't expect going to this place to just relax and be in a vacation mode, but it's worth to take the challenge if you want to improve your manual and physical skills, break your own boundries and get an insight to a eco-friendly, natural and peaceful lifestyle.
Johannes it's a great and hard working person, most of the time he is really busy but that doesn't stop him to have nice conversations with you every once in a while, cooking some nice dinners or give you advice and instructions if you're struggling with some task. I admire that even that he is under a lot of stress and work most of the time he manages to stay positive and with a smile in his face.
Language can be a barrier sometimes, especially if you are someone who needs very detailed instructions to do properly a job, (honestly most of the jobs might require very detailed instruction) so don't hesitate to ask twice if you have any questions, as he mentions in his profile communication is very important for a good host-workawayer relationship.
It's a very nice environment going around inside and outside the house, you have mulitple options for taking big walks, explore the forest and some small towns nearby, you'll have everything you need in the house as well the responsability for taking care of it and the things that you use.
If you have any skill or talent tell Johannes about it, it would defenitely help a lot somehow.
I would say that the free time you have is as twice of satisfactory after doing a very hard work, spend your free time wiseley and explore as much as you can
As someone who had never done any of this kind of work in an isolated place I left proud for getting out of my routine, explore my physical capacities, spending my time reading, cooking, cleaning, going for walks, and of course for being part in the process of this project.
I would totally recommend this place, whether you are or are not manually skilled, strong or familiar with this kind of lifestyle, as long as you go with the intention of learn, help, being busy, and get some good fresh air :)
I thank Johannes a lot for his hospitaliy, understanding and the things he shared with me.
It was a really nice experience, I'm even considering of coming back sometime in the future. Totally worth it

vom Host (Help with traditional ...) für Workawayer (Carlos)

The time with Carlos thought me once again to stop myself in prejudging people. Don't underestimate this young man.
When I met him first I could not stop the temptation to see him as a rather physically weak and small city boy who for sure will be a very nice and friendly fellow but not the biggest help in any labor.
Apart from his wonderfully… read more warm and friendly personality I was totally wrong with my prejudgement.
Yes, Carlos is a city guy and it is true that he is not used the life style at our place and also not to any of the works here, but I did not had any idea about his enormous determination in checking and developing his own abilities and powers.
Already on the first working day after his arrival Carlos was working in transferring wood through the forest. This young man who describes himself as a boy on his workawayer profile, this man who physically feels like half of body mass than me, ran up and down the muddy and steep hills in the forest carrying big loads of firewood on his arms. He did that for one, for two he did it for three and four hours and being asked to take smaller loads he even asked for an other big branch be dropped on his arms. It seemed he never would get tired. Being asked where he get this strength and durance from he just told me:
“At home I only always sit in my house and have nothing to do. I never train my muscles and I also never did any manual work before. But I want to try my physical borders and I’m very surprised about my abilities myself.”
Carlos did not only surprise me but his endurance and his calm, humble but very strong will to check, challenge and stretch his own borders blew me away.
Even I get slowly older and lose fitness and strength, I’m very used to have an availability of fitness and strength which is likely higher than the average of most people today. This is not because of training but simply by living my lifestyle. That means that working hard labor throughout the whole day is nothing special to me and it also does not take me much effort to carry it through. Whereas looking on Carlos I feel very small and admire his discipline and willpower.
It is amazing what he managed to learn and how much he trained his body in the time he stayed here. Carlos was carrying the same attitude and willpower of his first working day throughout his whole stay.
Even by the language the communication was sometimes a little bit difficult, he learned very fast and dive into and managed with a lifestyle he likely never met before.
He did not only gather, carry and load firewood in the forest, he also piled the firewood skillfully and helped transferring different materials on the big property. Carlos made a big amount of brushwood-bundles for heating in the next winter. What he really reached master-hod in is in fine plastering of ceilings with clay (Which is a very difficult job).
Looking on Carlos personality he is a person everyone like to be with. He is very warmhearted, social, open, interested and caring but also independent and calm. He is one of the peaceful characters could take a book of my library and walk in the forest search for a nice spot and stay there for the rest of the day happily reading. Even my kids where very disappointed to hear that he could not stay for longer with us and they really hoped that he could become one of our long-stay-workawayers. Also for me it is a big pity that Carlos left a week earlier than expected but I also understand that he wants to get out a little bit more about his short left visa durance and also want to look at an other country than Germany.

Thank you so much for your help and be insured, I want to apologies for my prejudgement in the beginning and I really admire you for your inner and outer strength but mostly for your will power and discipline.
You are always invited to come back to our house.
