Description
Hi there,
I am Elke, 37 years old, from the south of Germany. After working for 13 years in tourism, I am currently taking a break, attending a training on online marketing. After finishing the training end of August, I would love to combine my great passion, travelling, with diving into foreign cultures and getting in touch with local people, starting in September in Italy, looking where life takes me next.
I like cooking and gain energy by spending time in pure nature, aswell as doing sports and yoga (completed my yoga teacher training in 2019).
I am looking forward to connect and share my ideas about tourism, online marketing, yoga and life with the world :).
Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
Gardening
General Maintenance
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Life at a Farmstay
Eco Projects
Helping around the house
Animal Care
Hospitality/Tourism
Charity Work
Art Projects
Helping with Computers/ Internet
Teaching
More details about your skills
I would love to share my experience and passion for tourism, event management and marketing. Happy to help with building or updating websites and creating unique content during the workaway stay.
Equally I gladly support you by getting my hands into the dirt, doing honest work like cleaning, shopping, working in and around the house and garden.
If interested I'm also ready to give yoga classes and meditation in german / english.

I had a short but wonderful stay with Solveig, Damiano and their kids. The family is very open and kind, connecting and supporting in an all authentic way.

Elke is the "Super Work Away" if we would give awards. She is friendly, openminded, helpfull, correct. Her stay with us enriched our days and we are very thankfull for her precious help with our homepage and the loads of leaves to carry out of the gardens. This is what makes workaway so precious.

I loved my stay in the gorgeous and spacious house of Telma and Mauro. The communication with Telma was always warm, friendly and accurate. She made me feel like home from the very beginning. I would have loved to stay longer in this peaceful place, also with Gabri and Gianni - both are so gentle persons - but unfortunately had to leave a bit… read more

I spent one week with Giorgia and her family and had a wonderful time at the lovely place that they created. Very warm and gentle people every one of them, so I felt well from the beginning. Work was really fine, I prepared rooms for the guests for the next retreat and spent time weeding and picking kakis in the garden. Giorgia even gave me some… read more

My stay here is already one year ago (August 2019) but I still have a smile on my face when I think back to the days I spent in that peaceful place with such caring hosts and the lovely community. Sara and Suha are warm-hearted persons, I felt welcome and comfortable from the beginning until the end!

The amount of work was really fair and there… read more
