Description
I was born and raised on a farm in the north of Germany, and later moved south to be closer to the mountains and lakes. I love hiking, swimming, paddleboarding, cycling, photography, and trying out new DIY projects whenever I get the chance.
My company recently had to make some redundancies, and rather than see it as a setback, I've decided to use this time to gain new experiences, tick off some things I've always wanted to do, and try things I've never done before. Some of my best travel memories come from past Workaway exchanges. I've met wonderful hosts, learned so much about local culture, improved my language skills, and made friends for life along the way.
I'm open-minded, easy-going, and always up for something new. I'm happy to share stories from my travels, teach you a bit of German if you're interested, and I'd love to get to know you and have a great time together! -

More details about your skills
I grew up on a farm and spent a summer working on one in Canada few years ago, where I also learned to ride horses. I am trained in tourism and worked for an international camping company, making sure customers had a great experience. I also spent a few months working on a ship, so I am very familiar with hospitality and looking after people. Additionally, I have done a few DIY projects at home and love it to do creative projects.
On top of that, we've worked together on a farm in New Zealand, helping out with fencing repairs and taking care of cows and sheep, as well as doing a lot of garden work (e.g. planting new plants, weeding, and handling small repairs). -

Greta and Micheal helped us after a major flood we had on our farm. They worked for 3 weeks cleaning up our farm fences and picking up logs and sticks. It wasn't a fun job but they were amazing! They worked really well with other workawayers (we had 6 at one stage) and with our farm staff. They were always happy, polite … read more
Hope to see them again before they go home :-) All of us will miss you guys - especially the dogs who love working in the garden with you
