Was könntest du arbeiten?
Being a certified Yoga/Pilates Teacher and Personal Trainer, I can help losing weight, gaining flexibility and getting stronger. If you need a house-sitter and/or somebody to look after your pets, I've done both many times. And if you've got a guitar, I can teach you how to play and sing or entertain your guests with classics from Cash to Sinatra.

After 3 months in busy Mexico City, me and my girlfriend needed more peace and nature, less noise and pollution, and life guided us right there: Zicatela is a hidden gem 10 min by bus from Puerto Escondido, lonely beach, wild waves, chilled vibe. Jess and Luis manage a lovely little guest house 5 min from the beach and live next door with their 4… read more

After volunteering across Europe for nine months in 2015, I arrived in Sicily to teach Yoga, walk the dog and help in a vegan B&B in Caltagirone. When the owner unexpectedly had to close down due to family matters, I had to find a new place in a rush, so I went to Catania and checked in this hostel for a night, not knowing what to do. The second I… read more

When İ arrived on a late train at Castiglione del Lago and Gennaro greeted me with a rib cracking hug, İ knew İ had found a new ally on this planet. İ spent two weeks volunteering at his superb holistic festival, teaching Yoga and Pilates and assisting Cem, the vegan chef, who did not only create fantastic food but also a cheerful working… read more

Due to delayed flights I had spent a rough night at Antalya Airport and arrived pretty knackered at Olympos the next morning, only to be welcomed by the kindest folks possible: Baris, Gulshan and her visiting mom and sister took me straight to a little known secluded beach, for a swim in the warm ocean and a picnic! Great start and an omen for the… read more

It was an amazing pleasure to have Eric with us during our construction. Eric was supposed to be our yoga instructor, but in the end ha was way more: he was cooking delicious vegan meals (I still dream of your apple soup!!!), helping out on the construction, helping to clean up, etc. He brought a lot of colour into our camp. I feel that his… read more

Building a modern Eco House in the polish mountains for five weeks was one of my most intense workaways in every way. I was hired as a Yoga Teacher to stretch everybody's muscles after work, then I also turned into the camp's full time vegan chef, cooking for 10 - 12 people, plus helping out on the construction site. The place is beautiful, so was… read more

A former world nomad himself, Michael invites travelers of all ages and areas to his oasis in the umbrian hills these days. The man is witty, wise and warm-hearted, never short of a great story. Reliving an almost fatal, yet magical moment of his colourful life while body surfing the giant waves of Hawaii made me wanna go there soon, seeing the… read more

I spent two amazing months here, and it's weird to imagine I didn't know the place and its people only a short while ago, considering how much I feel home there now. Beside the daily tasks like planting, cooking and digging (sometimes operating the ancient rotovator, feels like holding back a motorcycle running at full throttle), I fixed a chicken… read more

When I came to Australia for the first time, I thought I'd spend a week or two at this beautiful place, but since me and the tribe were a perfect match from day one, I stayed three months and left as a true member of the family only when my visa was running out. These people are the most warm-hearted, generous, buoyant hosts you could wish for,… read more

Eric is a lovely guy and a very good Pilates trainer. If you get the chance to have a session with him: do it! :) He cooked very yummy vegan meals and inspired us to eat vegan instead of just vegetarian. He's great on the guitar and made some much appreciated tutorials for Andrew. :) We are happy that he enjoyed his time in Golden Bay. See you… read more

Lovely people, lovely place! Since we have a lot in common (Britta's also a yoga teacher plus we're from the same city in Germany, Andrew's also a musician), we had a really great time. They make you feel at home immediately, the sleep out is cozy and they live close to the Mussel Inn, the area's famous pub (good ginger beer and live music).… read more
