Hey!

Looking to contribute meaningfully, do some good, learn something new in a beautiful place and get inspired for our own creative endeavours. A longer commitment.

When we travel we look at the big and the little. Like to live slow, with attentiveness and some exceptions :). Love to hitchhike, its kindness and selflessness and how it crosses all kinds of paths and stories. We hitchhiked all over Europe, hitchhiked everyday to work in Iceland and to Krishna temple in the South of Germany. We were born in Poland and at different times we lived in Sweden, UK, Spain, Italy and Iceland.

We like to share our passions and be impassioned. Samuel comes with a Mathematics degree and really good English, both from Cambridge, Aniela majored in Graphic design and volunteered with European Solidarity Corps on a permaculture farm in Canary Islands. We made noise with saxophone and programmed algorithmic visuals on a computer, practised yoga and Taekwondo. We like to watch and want to make beautiful photography, get lost in books and movies. We want to make things with our hands and creativity is ever important for us and wait until you try our vegan onion pasta or curry!

In the past Samuel has worked as a software engineer and in the kitchen at the diner. Aniela is a graphic designer and we have also been tutors, waitresses, shop assistants and grape pickers. Samuel worked a lot with children, teaching all sorts of mathematics and Aniela conducted art workshops. We learned a lot and want to learn more, especially to funnel creativity, coexisting with nature and animals, with different people in different places.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Sustainable building project ...)

I came here without any plans and ended up staying for a month. Right from the start I felt I was given trust to handle the machines and autonomy in managing my worktime. I got there during a somewhat low-key period, members of the community were engaged with outside affairs, nonetheless I was never just a pair of hands to give the work nobody… read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Share life skills with ...)

I stayed with Miss Babita for two weeks, and it was a truly memorable experience. The village is located in a beautiful, remote area with breathtaking mountain views. Her house is spacious and comfortable, with access to wifi, and I had a room to myself. It takes two days to get to Kami Chautara from Kathmandu by bus, so if you can, stay for a… read more

We are very thankful to Aniela for her hard work, helping us in the community school projects and our farm stay. We got to share a great learning experience. All in all, we had a wonderful opportunity to host and share moments with her at Kami Chautara and are grateful for her time.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help us to promote quality ...)

We volunteered at the school for a few weeks. It’s a private school, one of the better in Uttarakhand. We were given a private ensuite room in a guest wing of the school property. Meals at the canteen were provided three times a day though we chose to cook for ourselves most of the time (which required some organisational effort at the start). We… read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Farm collective close to the ...)

We spent only five days at the farm. Initially it was a little hard, the atmosphere seemed cold with us doing our duties on the side and being given food alone on the porch of the family house. One time we weren't given lunch and with the strong language barrier were unsure about the rules. We reached out to Sangeetha and clarified things a little… read more and from them on the atmosphere thawed. She is very sweet and really made us feel better, even though she wasn't there in person.
Venkatesh, the owner, speaks English enough to communicate, he is a kind host and always provided everything we needed when asked. His younger son Ankush has good English and frequently came over to chat with us which was very nice.
We helped out with cleaning the rice field, weeding, cleaning the farm from rubbish and digging around a water pond. We found the farm pretty big and varied so there is plenty of different things to help with. There are dogs Dusty and Sweety that are the cuddliest of creatures and we witnessed a goat being born.
We came in the summer season and were told to work in the morning and afternoon when the sun relaxes a little, but all work on the farm is done in the middle of the day and we found it is best to join in then to get time with people there and help them.
The accomodation is a tent within a wooden hut, a little hard for the back for the more delicate among us but we took additional sleeping bags underneath and were fine. If there are more volunteers there and the bags are taken you might wanna have some inflatable mattress with you. And a mosquito repellent is a must.
The closest town is Palahalli, 2km walk from the farm. Ankush will be happy to rent you his bike to get to the bird sanctuary which is a mere 4km away.
There were frequent electricity cuts on the farm and problems with the water in the hut's bathroom so sometimes you gotta carry it in buckets from outside of the family's house, just a 15 seconds walk. At one point the electricity was gone for a day which meant no filtered water. The family drinks the underground water then and we did too and were fine, but if it's early during your stay in India and your stomach is not yet accustomed you might wanna have it in mind.
We felt the food provided was a little not nutritious, most of the time rice with thin vegetable sauce, we thought it good to cook some ourselves and Venkatesh gave us the gas stove right the next day which was very kind of him.
There were some hardships and we ourselves felt bad as one of us fell ill and could not contribute how we wanted which made us shorten our stay but you can feel they are good people. It took us time to start forging a bond and time we had not much. If you stay, stay for longer.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help at an eco-village ...)

I have spent a week on a farm with Raja. He is a fair bit of a personality, knows a lot of wonderful people, has done a lot in the permaculture field in India and shares that with the people he spends time with. So many stories and insights it's almost hard to believe one person can fit it all inside. He also knows the country very well, it shows.… read more

We spent over three weeks with Neha, Rudransh and the team amidst the hills of Panchgani. They are a fun bunch, loving what they do and keeping themselves happy while they do it. Their heads are full of ideas, they trusted me ( Samuel) with my creative-technical explorations and we got out of it something we both like, I think. We really enjoyed… read more
