Description
Hello @ all the beautiful souls out there
I hope you're doing great!
I'm a solo backpacker who's hitchhiking through the countries and likes to get in touch with the locals. Also, I'm looking for a nice place to stay and learn more about how to become more self-sustaining.

But let me introduce myself first: Hi! My name is Felicitas, 32 years old, born in Switzerland, and raised in Germany. I worked many years with kids in a foster home and as a nurse in the hospital (pediatric ICU with focus on premature birth babies). During Covid-19, I realized that I was stuck in the system. The pandemic was a wake-up call for me to change something in my life. I quit my job for the first time and went for a journey through Europe and Asia. After 6 months, I came back to my hometown and worked as a teacher in a forest kindergarten. I stayed the whole day outside and started to reconnect with Mother Earth. After 7 months in the forest, I decided to quit my job again and continue my travel. That's how I ended up here.

I want to connect two of my passions: travel the world and learn new skills. My future vision is to live more self-sustaining, grow my own plants, take care of (rescue) animals, and be a foster home for kids. I want to visit and live in as many communities as possible and work on different farms before I start my project. Being in the garden is meditation for me. Maybe I don't have any specific skills in farm work, but I'm curious, and I learn fast. Besides this, I'm good at cleaning (I'm a clean and neat person) and cooking (vegan), take care of others, and I'm sure I can bring sunshine to your place.

Travel means a lot to me. It gives me the chance to leave my comfort zone and get closer to myself. It was the best way for me to lose my fears and anxiety!
I'm a kind person. I'm attracted to deep conversations, nature, vegan food, culture and meet new people from all over the world. My philosophy is "all I need is less".

Some personal attributes:
♡ well travellled and educated (22/197 countries)
♡ extriverted-introvert (I enjoy to be social but I also need me time to recharge my social batteries)
♡ highly self aware and self reflective
♡ taking good care of what's not mine
♡ I don't mind getting my hands dirty
♡ I'm adventurous but not in a life risky way
♡ cooking skills (I follow a vegan diet. I don't mind if you eat meat/fish)
♡ I don't smoke and don't drink alcohol.

Things that are important to me: sustainability, respectful treatment, honesty, open communication

More details about your skills
With over twelve years of experience in childcare and a second training as a pediatric nurse in 2016, I bring diverse skills to the table. In addition to my professional work, I volunteer my time engaging with older individuals, whether through walks, games, or conversations.

Cooking has brought me joy ever since I stopped strictly following recipes. I enjoy creating new dishes and have a keen interest in cultural exchange through culinary exploration.

Spending time in the garden is a form of meditation for me. I have experience in gardening (lawnmowing, edge cutting, weeding, planting, wood chopping, fire protection, conservation work, plant-nursery etc.)

I had the honor to be one of the first workawayers on GG's farm. I stayed for two weeks, and I enjoyed my time with her and the other volunteers. GG is such a sweetheart!! The work wasn't too heavy. We laughed a lot. I had real quality time at her place. GG is quite flexible with the work time. She is helpful and welcoming 🙏 I enjoyed spending my… read more

I couldn't stay for one week but Mish made everything possible that I could stay for two and a half days. Thank you so much for making this possible! The place is amazing, and I felt the peace and all the love she and her partner put into it. I had the honor to help Mish in the plant nursery. She teached me a lot. She is very knowledgeable and… read more

Felicitas fitted into our sanctuary environment easily with her positive, calm, curious and helpful approach to life. Felicitas worked with Mish propagating 2 plant species in the nursery with wonderful attention to learning and quality work. I really enjoyed how Felicitas naturally cleaned up after projects and was able to work together and… read more

I only stayed there for one week because my plans changed spontaneously. How can I put it? Freyja and Allan are the most incredible human beings I have met so far on my trip! They care so much about ALL BEINGS. The place is a real gem. I felt the peace when I first arrived there. I had the pleasure to sleep in the caravan called ziggy. It was a… read more

Felicitas and I had a very special time together and when she left, my home felt rather empty. She is such a special person with abundant curiosity, sensitivity and so much wisdom. She was diligent in everything we did (planting, weeding, household cleaning & furniture moving, computer work). She's also a great cook. I would welcome her back any… read more

Heather asked me if I could help her for 5 days around the house. I ended up 2 weeks and we went to a festival together. I think this says everything! Heather is a wonderful human being. She is health conscious (we ate a lot of delicious food), and she is knowledgeable (I could learn so much from her about permaculture. Please say hello to the… read more

Felicitas stayed with us in February and was delightful. She helped hard, communicated well and was self-reliant. She helped us with painting and cleaning. She fitted in really well and we enjoyed her company and conversations. Hope you visit again Felicitas! Many thanks. Jane and Felicity

My stay with Jane and Felicity was a real pleasure. The communication was always easy. The house is a really beautiful place to be. I loved to be in the garden, cuddle the dogs, and be around the chickens. The work was easy. I had my own room for privacy. Jane took me to the beach for the daily dog walks. I could use the bike for exploring the… read more

Felicitas spent two weeks at our home just before Christmas and she was amazing. Felicitas helped with cleaning, gardening, some plastering, cooking, and anything else that needed doing. It was very refreshing to have someone come in, especially at such a busy time, that could just work out what was needed and get it done. I would definitely… read more

How can I put this? I think the best way is to make your own experiences with Simone. I asked for a few days and ended up 2 weeks. My stay was a real pleasure. The work was easy (you should definitely give more work :D). The communication with Simone and her daughter (Erin) is easy. Both Simone and her daughter are very funny and loving people.… read more

I was curious about the farm because they contacted me. I only stayed one week there. So I can't say too much but I want to share my experiences with you. The people who are living there are nice and friendly. We were 15 volunteers at the same time. Way too much, because there was no space for all of us. I stayed in the guesthouse. It's a nice… read more

Rowan's place is a true fairytale ✨️ I stayed there only for two weeks because I decided to move on. But I'm sure I will come back to this magical place. How can I put it? It was my very first workaway. Rowan picked me up at the train station. Since the first seconds, I have known this guy is a special person. He and his community welcomed me in a… read more
