Description
I grew up on a farm and have experience in many tasks around house, household, DIY, smaller building and repair jobs, animals and garden. I am able to work with others or independently. I like to spend time in nature and see and learn new things. Recently I started a programming course and learn the basics of 3D programs and 3D-printing.
Meeting new people and experiencing the cultural differences in different parts of the world is what I like about workaway :)
I am good in planning, organizing, coordinating, being creative and spontaneous. I am open-minded and positive, I like to share my experience and also to learn and experience new things :)

It's a peaceful place far away from the cities with a lot of nature around, a huge garden area, and chicken. It was fun helping with the ongoing tasks and projects while enjoying the sun and in the evening gazing in the stars. When you decide to go to this place, you will be welcomed and treated well and friendly, there is a kind atmosphere… read more

Christiane was on our farm for a few weeks in the winter. She is a friendly and likable person who really enjoys her time in nature and especially appreciates the warmth of the winter sun, as she comes from a place in northern Norway. She was a perfect fit for our farm as she grew up on a farm herself and had a good sense of the work that needed… read more

Feels like having found a family I have left behind by moving on. I could learn and experience so much, not only talking about the materialistic but also the spiritual world. This place is definitely made for healing, for finding peace and love. I am grateful for every second I could be there, for every smile and tear and hug. This was an… read more

Just wow. I came to this place in a difficult situation but both Tessan and Peter have been very understanding and supporting. They are amazing people you can communicate with very open, honest and direct. To my mind that's so pleasant. I am extremely grateful for their understanding and for their help. Also they are fun people and I had many… read more

Christiane had a short stay with us and she was able to help out with some things in that time. She quickly learned most of the household work and helped to write some checklists for coming workaways. She had great energy and intentions but some things came up that shortened the planned stay. The communication with my older daughter was sometimes… read more

I can recommend this host to everyone who likes to take care of children. I got direct tasks with a nice time planning but at the same time I had the chance to self organise the chores. Tara is a kind hosts who gives a lot of trust and responsibility and I always got detailed answers whenever I had a question. She's also very helpful and I could… read more

Also I could learn a lot from her and appreciated learning how to drive their tractor.

Thanks for visiting!
Sad to hear that you didint like so much her staying here at cold lappland at my place.
You for sure did your best, but after couple days i noticed that there is not so much to do here for you. Simple as that-some things are just not for someone. Could be too cold or too hot, not so easy maybe use axe or make snow-work.… read more

I've been at this host site in February and nature there is just stunning in winter. Using an outdoor toilet and not having running water in the house were interesting experiences. When writing to the host he had said I could stay as long as I wanted to, estimated time were two weeks but after already about three days he asked me to leave early… read more

I had a great time with Susanna, Hannu and the kids. Sukeva is a small town with beautiful nature around. Both Susanna and Hannu are very kind and like to tell a lot about their culture and everything. I could not only learn many interesting things from them but also experience typically finnish food.

Baiba has many projects with renovating the house so it's perfect for people who like to work physically. It was quite cold outside but Baiba always offered options like changing rooms/ getting more blankets to make us feel as comfortable as possible in these rough conditions. As I've been there we were 7 workaway people. We had a lot of fun and a… read more

I could make the great experience to visit this host in winter. There have been no guests during my stay so we could take care of some work inside the hostel and enjoyed the Sauna in the evenings. The communication before I arrived was a bit uneasy and I felt like they needed some time to open up but in the end we had some nice conversations. I… read more

I am so grateful that I could spend some time with Magda, Michal and the kids and I find no words to sum up the wonderful time I had. Of course with three small children it's always chaotic and stressful but I had fun all the time and enjoyed the conversations, especially the ones in the evenings when the kids were in bed and we had some time to… read more

We used the last days of autumn to finish work in the garden. It is a beautiful and peaceful place. Bettina is a calm and spiritual person. She is kind, leaves space for own ideas and I could learn a lot from her about plants/ herbs and spirituality.

I have been there for only a short time but it was great anyways. Pavel and Pavlina are very kind and caring people. I enjoyed meeting them and having a peek into their life. The place is interesting and I liked that they are turning an old school into a living (for the workaway) and working place. In the few days I've been there I could… read more

I had a wonderful time with this family. Anouk, Maarten and the kids were always helpful when I had a question. They sometimes called themselves a chaos family but I really liked that especially as there was always some kind of structure behind that chaos. Some of the animals are a bit special, like the escaping chicken and Bink, who brings a… read more
