Description
Hello! I'm Aline, a curious soul from Mexico.

I’m originally from Mexico, but I’ve also lived in Spain and Poland, and I’m currently learning German as I plan to move to Germany with my fiancé. I love meeting people from different backgrounds and believe that sharing time, stories, and culture can be truly transformative.

I speak fluent Spanish and English, a bit of French and Polish, and I’m now diving into German, so I’m always happy to connect through language, too!

I’d love to help with gardening, social projects, cooking, or eco-initiatives, but I’m also open to learning new things and stepping out of my comfort zone as one of my favorite things to do is learning new skills. Whether it’s lending a hand on a farm or supporting a local cause, I bring a positive attitude and a strong sense of responsibility knowing that I´m doing a meaningful job.

In the past, I’ve volunteered at a community pantry, distributing food to people in need, and also volunteered on "Erasmus Student Network" where I helped organizing events for the incoming Ersmus students.

I consider myself open-minded, curious, empathetic, reliable, and kind, and I genuinely enjoy being of help wherever I can. Through Workaway, I’m hoping to grow, connect, and contribute while discovering new ways of living and seeing the world.

More details about your skills
Languages: Native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, beginner in French and Polish, and currently started learning German. I enjoy language exchange and love connecting with people through different languages.

Childcare: As I mentioned earlier I was a monitor in a summer camp back in 2018 for kids aged 8-10; additionaly, I´ve always spend some time with my nieces and nephews at family parties taking care of them and playing fun games. I’m caring, responsible, and creative. I can help with playtime, schoolwork, or simply being a safe presence for kids.

Gardening & Eco-projects: I’ve begun my journey into a more sustainable lifestyle so I just started growing the first vegetable in my garden, a zucchini and I also began a compost. I may not be an expert gardener, but I’m a fast learner, always ready to help in nature-related tasks and I love spending time outdoors.

Cooking & Nutrition: Thanks to my background in human nutrition, I have a good understanding of healthy eating, food hygiene, and overall wellbeing. I enjoy cooking and can adapt to different dietary needs.

Community & Social Work: I’ve volunteered at a community pantry and with Erasmus Student Network, organizing cultural events and supporting diverse groups of people, which strengthened my communication skills.

Creative Arts & Crafts: I love painting and making arts and crafts (just for fun!). I enjoy making handmade gifts, decorations, or just getting creative with any materials at hand.

Physical Activity & Movement: I’ve practiced ballet, volleyball, swimming and a little bit of yoga which taught me discipline, teamwork, and body awareness. I love staying active even if it is just walking.

Haircutting (unofficially!): I’ve been cutting my fiancé’s hair for a while now; not a pro, but I’ve got some practice and confidence with the clippers.

Soft Skills: Open-minded, empathetic, curious, and reliable. I’m a great team player, a good listener, and I genuinely enjoy helping others and learning from them.

Adaptability & Willingness to Learn: Whether it’s building, cleaning, organizing, painting a wall, or trying something totally new, I’ll give it my best and learn along the way.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Northern permaculture farm ...)

My experience with Freya and David was amazing from beginning to end. They are two incredibly hardworking and kind-hearted people who made me feel at home from the very first day. I arrived on a Sunday, which happened to be their community day, a lovely tradition where friends and neighbors come together to help with tasks on the farm and share a… read more meal afterward. That evening we had a bonfire, a delicious dinner made by one of the other Workawayers, and we stayed up late talking, getting to know each other, and listening to music. It was the perfect way to arrive.

Communication with them was excellent from the start. About a week before arriving, I had a call with David, who explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. He also sent me a list of things I should bring, like a sleeping bag, rain boots, and comfortable clothes, which was super helpful. When I got to the farm, Freya took the time to give me a full tour, explain how everything worked, and walk me through the daily and weekly routine.

Each morning at 9:30 we had a short meeting with Freya or David to go over the tasks for the day. Working hours were usually until 4 or 5 p.m., but it depended on the type of work that needed to be done. Sometimes it was a bit more, sometimes less, and they were always very understanding, if you were tired, you could take a break, which I really appreciated. I got to do a wide variety of tasks, from weeding garden beds and planting potatoes, beans, zucchinis, asparagus, and hedges, to feeding the chickens, painting a shed, protecting plants with sheep wool, harvesting vegetables, classifying wooden logs, watering, and even baking bread with a neighbor. Every day felt different and meaningful. We had Sundays and Mondays off, which gave me time to rest or go on day trips, it was completely up to us.

The accommodation was also great. There’s a spacious and bright room for Workawayers with space for 2–3 people, individual beds, and a large closet for our belongings. They provide a fitted sheet, but you should bring your own sleeping bag or quilt. For me, the room was super comfortable and stayed warm even when it was cold outside. We shared the kitchen and bathroom with other Workawayers and one of the farm’s tenants, who occasionally passes through the room, so don’t be surprised if you see someone walking in, but he lives in a separate space. There’s also a beautiful communal area called the “community room,” where we ate our meals, relaxed, and spent time together.

As for meals, we were responsible for preparing our own breakfast and lunch, while dinner was prepared either by Freya, David, or one of the Workawayers. Everyone takes turns cooking dinner once a week, which was a nice way to share and try different meals together. Once a week, Freya or David go to the supermarket, and we were asked to write down anything we needed on a shared shopping list so they could bring it back for us. The food was always abundant and of great quality, and I especially appreciated how conscious and intentional they were about eating well.

The location itself is absolutely stunning. The love and care Freya and David put into the farm is visible everywhere, and the surrounding landscape, sunrises, sunsets, and starry skies made every moment feel special. The town of Schleswig is about an hour away by bus and is lovely to visit. I was lucky to have the Deutschland ticket, so I also took day trips to Hamburg, Sylt, and Lübeck on my days off.

One of the things I loved most was how much I learned. Freya and David were always willing to share their knowledge about plants, animals, and gardening, and were happy to answer all of my questions. I also learned a lot about German culture during my stay, which I really appreciated. I was lucky to be there during their birthday party, which we celebrated with a lovely party on my last day. They even invited my husband, who lives in Hamburg, to join the celebration and spend the night. We had a beautiful evening with delicious food, games, music, and a bonfire, it was the most perfect goodbye I could have imagined.

I absolutely recommend Freya and David as hosts. This was my first Workaway experience, and even though I was nervous at first, they made me feel so welcome and cared for. It ended up being one of the most beautiful and meaningful experiences of my life. I felt deeply connected to nature, became more mindful of the food I eat, and gained a new appreciation for people who dedicate their lives to producing quality, organic food. I left with a full heart and hope to return someday!

(Excellent)
