Description
I live on the wonderful island Bornholm / Denmark in the Baltic Sea, and I am a positive thinking woman who moved from Germany to Denmark about thirty years ago.
In many years I preferred living in communes, but since 20 years I live on my own small farm in the countryside and Bornholm. I have 2 horses, 2 bordercollies and 1 cats.
I was working as a farmer, teacher,and socialpadagog, but now I am retired and like meeting people from different countries and cultures.
My daughter lives now in Copenhagen with her family and spends sometimes holidays or weekends here, and I love to leave the Island in between to experience something different. I need somebody to help me with the animals, around the house and garden. Often I need somebody for house sitting. I do not take smokers.
Types of help and learning opportunities

I am from Germany, but I have lived many years in Denmark. On the island you can meet people from different nationalities.

Now, and in the next months I need people to help with the garden, painting , maybe making firewood, maybe taking care of the place when I am away for a couple of days.
I expect you to take part in making food and keep the house clean.

It is not allowed to smoke on my place at all, no misuse of alcohol and no use of other drugs

I stayed at Christina 's lovely farm on Bornholm for a bit more than a week for housesitting. The tasks were well communicated beforehand, so I still had enough time to write my thesis as planned. I love the place and the island, very calm and peaceful, and the animals of Christina are amazing. I also got to have some conversations with Christina… read more

I had my time there, she is really nice and fun, so far one of the best experiences in Denmark so far

I really enjoyed my stay with Christina and the beautiful surroundings of Bornholm. We shared many meals and ice creams and it was a pleasure to share stories! The work was well balanced and we painted a tiny home, spent time decluttering and making fresh juice. Would definitely recommend this Workaway :)
