Description
Hi everyone, we are a couple who gave up their jobs and fIat in order to gain some new experiences via workaway. In the following a little self description of both of us :) :

Anna: I am Anna and I am a calm, balanced person, who often spreads exactly this to her fellow men. I am also very open minded and a good listener. I enjoy meeting new people with their life stories and their everyday life. I am experienced in cleaning, cooking, laundry and babysitting. During my studies in social work I was able to gain a lot of valuable experience through a six-month internship in a children's home for traumatized children and adolescents and also through a mini-job in a natural kindergarten over the last few years. Working with children and young people makes my heart soar. I also enjoy spending time in nature and in the garden. Through the cultivation of a garden with my boyfriend in recent years and my origin from a Demeter farm, I already have some experience, but am super curious to learn many new things about especially vegetable gardening, herbs, vegetable storage, etc.. Always there to listen, learn and give a hand.

Diarmaid: My name is Diarmaid, 33 years of age and I have a master's degree in Biology (Microbiology and Bioinformatics - unfortunately not the biggest expert when it comes to animals or plants :)). I am curious about many things but am mainly interested in gaining more experiences regarding self sufficiency, gardening and manual labour. I would also love to get insights into different forms of communities or any lifestyle that may be inspiring to me. I love nature and being outdoors. I like activities such as hiking, yoga, reading, woodcarving, cooking (or fermenting, especially Kombucha :)). I pretty much believe in „live and let live“ and love to learn from other people, in my opinion we can learn a lot by inspiring each other.

More details about your skills
Anna: I am a biology lab assistant and have also worked in a lab for a few years. In addition, I have just currently completed a bachelor's degree in social work. My main focus was the area of "help for education". I like to help in the household, in the garden and also like to spend time with children.

Diarmaid: Anna & myself have our own garden, so we have some experience in creating and cultivating a garden. Also we have some experience in making and the usage of Terra Preta. After school I was working on a farm (sheep & cattle) which is some time ago but there is some experience in taking care of animals. I am very passionate about cooking and also experimented with fermentation. I love to carve wood and built some smaller pieces of furniture and lamps so far.

Finally I get around to writing some feedback for Anna and Diarmid. They stayed with us over a year ago, but we don’t used workaway that much so I haven’t been on the site since then. So what to say?

We had a wonderful time with Carmen, Tom, Alma and Elara. They are just an amazing lovely, easy going family. We felt like a part of the family. Our jobs were cooking, cleaning, small paintings and renovation work, cupboard construction.

Doreen, Falko and Fabian are very warmhearted and welcoming people. Our accomodation was among the best we ever experienced in our "workaway-career". Regarding work there was always an excellent communication, their spirit is letting everybody choose their own tasks, thus creating a wonderful work atmosphere. It's a very open place with different… read more

We absolutely loved having Anna & Diarmaid staying with us! They were very self-sufficient, taking charge of making some areas of the garden "look nice" and the results really exceeded our expectations. Their hands-on mentality and flexibility made their stay with us an overall smooth and very pleasant experience. Also, Anna and Diarmaid seem to… read more

Dear Laura, thank you very much for everything! Laura has a big house and we had an own section including bedroom and cosy living room to us. She had many jobs to do and let us pretty much pick whatever we wanted to do. The jobs and the whole "life together" was based on trust, so basically we could do whatever we wanted to.

A really unusnual couple - very helpful and always willing to help, really having been part of my project. Nice conversations, nice vibes, great work... :-) The communication was great right from the beginning.

Ihr Fähigkeiten sind sehr vielseitig und sie sehen auch von selbst, wenn es wo sinnvolle Arbeit zu tun gibt.

We had a very nice experience with this couple, they are very structural, open minded, and they did an excellent job, they maintained the vegetable garden, the flower garden, helped with woodprojects and did a great job reorganising the work shop and sheds.
For sure one of the best Workaway guests we had. Good luck with the rest of your journey… read more

Being on the farm for our fist ever Workaway experience was fantastic. We got our own little project in one of the gardens (basically restoring it) on which we could work independently. Everybody was super kind to us, always giving us the information we needed and also giving us tipps on how to use our free time. Also we really enjoyed the food,… read more
