Beschreibung
Hi, I'm Lieve from Belgium.

Since 2015 I've made several long trips, using Workaway as a way of getting to know a country or region a bit better. Workaway is for me a very interesting concept because you can experience a country or region in a more intense way by working in a local project or for a family business.

Since I'm 66 now and retired, I have some professional experience of course. I used to work as freelance trainer (IT) for about 10 years and I 've worked in and for several African countries as project coordinator, mainly in educational projects but also supporting small enterprises. After that, and till I retired, I was working in the administration of the local government, mainly in community projects.

In May 2019 I retired and started travelling immediately for 6 months with my campervan.
And my main goal for the coming years is to travel around with my campervan (from Europe to Canada and beyond...). I will still combine travelling and volunteering, since I had marvelous workaway-experiences in France, Spain, Norway Australia, Tasmania and Borneo, Denmark!!

I love to work with my hands! So I'm interested in gardening, harvesting, fruit processing, etc. But I'm also very handy in painting, general maintenance, etc. I also helped out in some guesthouses to clean rooms, maintaining environment, etc.
Reading books is one of my favorite pastimes, as well as travelling (which is my main goal for the coming years) and I spent a lot of time exercising my passion, which is sculpturing (stone)! In that sense it would be nice to find a (longterm) place where I can sculpture a bit, while helping out.

At this moment I'm staying in Denmark for 6 months (April till September), where I can sculpture and enjoy the country through some smaller trips.
In wintertime it is the intention to travel outside Europe for about 3 months (November till January).

Vom Workawayer (vervaetlieve) für Host (Help with landart and open ...)

What a lovely time I had with Synnove and Jens and the family.
Working on a creative project (the ceramic mandala) was very welcome during my 5-months travelling. Though I am not experienced in this type of claywork, we could easily cope with the challenges and managed to make a lot of progress. Unfortunately I could only stay one week and the… read more

We can highly recommend this lovely woman, Lieve, who visited our place in august and made a great impact to the landartproject. Lieve did most of the big ceramic compass, which are going to be placed on top of a small hill, and she worked somedays nearly 10 hours a row "Well, I have a good time", she said, and it seems, that this is the most… read more

Vom Workawayer (vervaetlieve) für Host (Strong willing person/s for ...)

Ending this year with a positive note on my short stay at Helen's and Francis' place. They are very nice and relaxed people, who give a lot of trust to workawayers. I was only at their place for a week and work was mainly cleaning/bedding the cottages, which was well communicated in advance. The rest was also cleaning and preparing the other… read more

Vom Workawayer (vervaetlieve) für Host (Organic farm in the Lofoten ...)

Though I was staying at the farm for only one week, I felt very comfortable with Tove and Knut. I was mainly working in the herb garden, weeding and cleaning up, picking and drying herbs.
One day I was even helping making cheese!
Tove and Knut are hard-working and on the other hand relaxed people with whom it is very easy to communicate and have a… read more

A big thank you to Lieve for all her help - she is amazing. We absolutely loved having her stay and would have her move in with us permanently if we could!! Lieve is a delight to have around, wonderful to talk to, great sense of humour. Our whole family warmed to her straight away and she is greatly missed. If you have the opportunity to meet and… read more

I was staying for almost 3 weeks at Poppy's and Joel's place, which was really a nice time. Poppy and Joel are very kind hosts, very accomodating and they make you feel completely stressless! The kids Maddy and Sally are always in for a talk .
There is a lot of work to do in the nursery since they only started up 6 months ago. Joel is very… read more

We were extremely lucky to have Lieve as our first workaway guest.

It felt like we had an old family friend spending time with us - her presence was comfortable, relaxed and no stress at all. We would chat over dinner about our experiences, occasionally take walks together or at other times sometimes she would retire to her room or spend… read more

The accommodation is luxurious and Joni is a fantastic cook, so you don't… read more

I was staying about 10 days here. It was nice but definitely long enough. If you like being in a quiet and remote place, you don't mind being without water or power once in a while, then this is the place to be. Work is not very hard and divers. Food is provided but most of the time you have to cook for yourself or the other volunteers.
Thanks,… read more

Though I had to leave this beautifull place unexpectedly, I have wonderfull memories of my staying with Barbara and Martin. They are perfect hosts, not only in the sense of the great food and the cool accommodation, but in the sense of giving enough responsibility to the volunteers so they also get satisfaction in what they are doing (they are no… read more

Lieve was more than your average volunteer. She was not only a good worker, she saw the important things and took responsibility. We enjoyed her company, she was interesting to listen to and always in a good mood. We can highly recommend her and would always happily have her again. Thanks Lieve M & B

I was staying for about 2 weeks at Kristin's place, which has a stunning view from the for garden,
Work was varied and not too heavy, and I learned a few new skills such as working with a bushcutter (or whatever you call it)! We had interesting talks during our meals together and in the evenings, but had also enough privacy!

I can definitely… read more
