Description

Hi there,

I'm Elke, 43 years old, currently living in a small town in southern Germany.
I've worked in tourism for many years before taking a break to travel, invest in my personal growth, and build a more independent lifestyle through yoga and other holistic offerings. I love creating spaces where people can relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves.

At heart, I'm a nomadic soul. I enjoy immersing myself in different cultures, spending time in beautiful nature, making meaningful connections, and having deep conversations.

These days, time has become my most precious resource. Thanks to the flexibility of my holistic work and my part-time job at our local swimming pool and sauna, I can travel from time to time, although not as often as I'd like.

I'm currently planning a two-week workaway stay in December and am excited to see where the journey will take me :)

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. If you are looking for a place to calm down this one is perfect. The nature and atmosphere around the house are stunning. There is a separate, spacious apartment for volunteers. We were … read more

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
