Description
I am a life loving and travel enthusiastic person. To volunteer at some places, always brought a deeper connection to the country I was in, and gave me a sense of home. Over the last years, I had already great work away, woofing, or volunteering experiences in diverse countries, such as in Canada were I had a lovely year in a anthroprosophical community for people with special needs, were I was active in the backery the gardens, and giving care to the people. Other times I was pruning the pomgranate trees and planting wine in the Negev desert of Israel. In Poland I could get an insight in permaculture farming, and natural house constructions, in Croatia we produced Cheese with the milk of our goats. This and much more were great experiences which call for even more :) I am happy to meet you and be part of your home for a while!

More details about your skills
I mostly worked in the garden and outside, so I know how to distinguish the weed from the plants ;) and not afraid of getting dirty. I would describe myself also as a good cook, as I had to cook for a year for 20 people a couple of times during the week, as well as to bake bread. Besides I followed an English study programme in the Netherlands, which made me learn these languages quite well, and thus can be also of help with touristic activities. Now I am living in my home country, studying alternative medicine and physiotherapy, so if there are some health issues I can help out. Overall I am an open person and happy to learn new skills and try out new things.
Age
6 & 6
What else ...
I like it to work in the garden, especially I am interested in permaculture and community life, as I consider to establish one by myself sometime.

I do eat meat yum but out of ecological reasons I do not need to eat it every day.

Caroline and Michal helped me out with a number of chores including carrying and splitting firewood, clearing brush, and sorting equipment used for my solar business. They are a lovely couple and have a very easygoing attitude. I enjoyed our conversations and shared meals. I wish them the best of luck!

We had four really relaxing days at Sean place. He owns one of the most beautiful round straw bale houses (in and outside), a crazy dog ;) and a super cute cat pumpkin.

Both Caroline and Michal stayed with us for over a week during July 2016. They were valuable and enthusiastic members of our team; one of the most productive teams to date! Not only did they work hard and get a lot done, but they both entertained us with their musical talents and unusual musical instruments, like the music bowl and water phone.… read more
