Description
Hi everybbody!

My name is Anne-Marie, 37 years, born and raised in Germany and still living in my adopted country Italy.

I am aware of the fact that I am really privileged in life as I was born in a safe and rich country and so far I was really lucky always managing to do and learn whatever I wanted...I've spent the last years of my life in the beautiful city of Perugia in Central Italy. I have lived and worked there for almost seven years and now it’s time to start a new chapter in my life and to move on...my travel goes on and I can't wait to get to know more interesting and nice people, work hard and keep making wonderful experiences.

I love doing manual work as it helps me „relaxing my mind“ and live more consciously. I feel very connected to nature and animals, and I simply believe that what you give is what you get back. I would consider myself a very curious person always searching for new interests. I am always trying to understand why things are how they are, getting to the essential. I am especially interested in ecology and permaculture, I lam crazy about honey, I love learning new languages and cultures, try do trekking and gardening whenever I can and dance wherever I am. What else? I love making up recipes and do some baking with fresh fruit right from the garden.

I am also very interested in craft beer, and I have been working in this domain recently. What else? I am extremely curious I guess and I can’t keep my feet still ...always keen to get to know learn new things...because although the ugly news we are surrounded by every day, life does still offer a loooot of beautiful stuff, you have just to be curious, never take anything for granted. Just keep your eyes open!

I seek a simple life based on experiences and not things which, in my opinion, is the only way worth living - especially in the unsecure times we are facing by now. I do still believe that a better world is possible. However, it depends on us and the choices we make.

Finally, working and getting in touch with people on the ground is really what everybody should do; it's the best way to fight against racism and hate or even better: By knowing each other that kind of problems probably would not even emerge...

Vorrei...
cambiare prospettiva
sporcarmi le mani
vivere giorni spensierati
conoscere gente vera e genuina
scoprire nuove piante
badare a galline ruspanti
essere circondati da animali
a fine giornata, sentire di aver fatto la differenza
affamare la mia curiosità
imparare
piantare frutta e verdura e vederla crescere
riscaldarmi davanti al falò in inverno
fare il formaggio
sudare
comprendere me e gli altri
ridere tanto
lasciare qualcosa di positivo dove passo
contagiare altri con il mio entusiasmo
disfare e rifare lo zaino
osservare
ascoltare il silenzio
conoscere ed ascoltare vecchie tradizioni tramandate
conoscere altri dialetti
ballare in qualsiasi posto dove mi soffermo
insomma: vorrei riempirmi gli occhi di cose e persone belle e sentirmi viva, perché la vita finisce in un attimo.

More details about my language interests
I love languages, because they are inevitably linked to other cultures: Every language is a window into a new world and learning a language is to get to know another culture and mentality. You learn seeing things from other perspectives and start understanding why people from other countries actually do what they do. I am always up to learn new languages such as deepen my current knowledges (mainly Romance languages). More languages you know, the more cultures you know and the more colorful and interesting is your life!

More details about your skills

The experience with Seada and Jesse cannot be put into words. From the very beginning on, they made me feel at ease and fully integrated into their little family. A two weeks stay turned out to be a way longer :) I had the chance to make authentic local experiences. Seada and Jesse made always sure that I felt comfortable and at ease. The tasks… read more

Anne is the workawayer hosts dream about. When initially messaging with Anne we had decided that she would stay with us for two weeks, but two weeks came and passed and turned into nearly seven weeks. At some point, Anne went from being a workawayer to being a member of the family, and I think that speaks greatly to her character. We already know… read more

I am very happy that my first workaway experience with Anne is extremely good and interesting. In 17 days, we had a lot of interactive socializing at all levels. From visiting various carnival events to culinary exchanges. In the meantime, we worked that are determined at me on an ongoing basis. Anne is hardworking, she needs also time for herself… read more

I spent a bit more than two weeks. at Marta's place and had a wonderful time with Marta and her beautiful animals. The place is gorgeous: beautiful nature, endless vineyards and magical sunsets.

Une super expérience avec Anne, elle s'est rapidement intégrée au rythme de la maison, a vite compris les tâches quotidiennes à faire et a eu plein de bonnes initiatives pour avancer les différents travaux du mois (rangement, jardin, tri de graines) . Enthousiaste, respectueuse, curieuse, autonome, vous pouvez lui faire confiance.
Elle est restée… read more

If you want to learn something about gardening, have some nice talks about Galicia, try the best oranges in townal and eat some nice vegetables, this is the right spot for you. I had a good experience at Ivan's place you always wanted to make sure that I was fine as it was really cold (and wet) when I arrived. I will keep some really nice memories… read more

I had some doubts being my first guest in this house, but as soon as Anna arrived she adapted very well, collaborated in everything, was sincere. He is a person you can host with pleasure, available, very helpful, curious and sweet. Now I can say that we had an important experience together and that we have become friends.

My stay at Giuseppina's house was fantastic! The amount of things I learnt in 10 days can't be described in words. Giuseppina introduced me straight away to her family and friends making me feel suddenly at home. She was a very attentive host and made sure that I felt always at ease. I worked mainly in the garden and learnt a lot about planting… read more

“I came as a stranger, and I left as a friend”. I could not have asked for more. My experience can hardly be put into words. While I am writing these lines, I am thinking about all these wonderful experiences that I was lucky to share with Filippo & Santina (and their two dogs, of course 😊).

A colourful, multilingual sun: these are the first words coming to my mind when thinking about Anne-Marie. She's always positive, smiling, full of energy, speaks fluently several languages (loved here italian with Brescian accent, among them all! ;)) and we all liked her a lot.
A lot of luck to you Anne! (I'm sure you will have it!)

Saying "It was amazing!" wouldn't be enough to describe the wonderful time I had at this Hostel. I've just came back from this great experience. The stuff was so kind, special, interesting, easy-going, positive and funny (and crazy sometimes...I remember the dance sessions :)) and made my stay in Lisbon unforgettable.

I had a wonderful time with Kirstie and her lovely family. Kirstie is awesome: besides housekeeping, two lovely children and 3 big (very cute) dogs, she easily manages the work on the vineyard. She is a great cook who prepares you delicious meals (perfect after rainy, gray days of work). When you're interested in wine, this is the place to be! I… read more
