Now i finally have time and the money to explore the world and would like to take this as a chance to meet people from all over the world and simultaneously get some practical experience in all types of farm work (preferably organic), animal care and conservation for the future. The past year i have worked at multiple dairy, beef and sheep farms as well as some permaculture homestads in New Zealand and now I'm so much looking forward to explore South America as well!! :)

What else ...
I do not have my own car, so i rely on public transport and it would be great if you could pick me up from the nearest bus station.
I'm a vegetarian but not very fussy, i am happy to just have the sides of the meal and i do not mind veggies etc cooked in animal fat. I chose to become vegetarian as i do not want to support the industrialised factory farming system of animals

We stayed at Katya and Luis farm for 2 weeks and its been a super fun time. The working hours are absolutely fair as you are only required to work 5 hours in the morning and each afternoon is free, as well as you have to work 5 days and get two days off. The food was always plenty and yummy as Katya is a really good cook and cooking is done with a… read more

Jhoss and her family are great people, very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The farm is beautiful as you can see parts of the tropical forest from the veranda and the river is just a few minutes walk away where you can go for a nice swim after the work is done. We usually worked half the hours in the morning and the rest in the afternoon, so we… read more

Anina an her boyfriend Yonko stayed with us for a week. They are the perfect couple. They are appreciated and are being missed since they were really helpful and hard working. We highly recommed you to have them as volunteers.

Lukas is a super nice and funny guy and you can have lots of great conversations with him! He knows a lot about tropical fruit tree planting and you can see that he enjoys having Workawayers for the cultural exchange - not just as cheap workers. He has an ecuadorian worker that helps him during the week which I really liked as its nice to come… read more
