Description

Hello!
I'm an American and German citizen, and relatively recent college graduate (Mathematics, with minors in German and in Music).
I used to live in Vermont, where I went to university and then worked as a musician and sound tech. In the last year, I had the opportunity to be a part of some awesome recording projects, and went on a 2.5 week tour in the eastern United States! I recently moved, though, and am taking some time to travel and gather some new experiences before settling back into a place longer-term.
I love playing music, jazz, drawing, reading, and spending time in the outdoors. I place a lot of value on building community and connections to others, but also enjoy quality time by myself.

More details about your skills

- Language: English (native language) and German (my mom raised me bilingually, but my German is far from perfect).
- DIY / Maintenance: I grew up helping my dad with some carpentry/handywork tasks around the house, and loved being in the workshop. I have always helped with painting and repair tasks for my parents. I generally love hands on work, from electrical soldering to sewing and knitting. Some familiarity with power tools.
- Gardening: I may not know the most about plants and what they need, but I love getting my hands in dirt and have always helped my family with their garden!
- Cooking and baking: I am used to working around vegan/vegetarian diet restrictions for my friends and family, and enjoy making food for others.
- Cleaning: I like to maintain a clean space, and have done my fair share of deep cleans when moving apartments. I am currently helping to organize my grandmothers' old house to get ready to sell.
- Computers and Tech: I was a math major! I love technical tasks things as well.
- Pet Care: I grew up with dogs and cats, and have house/pet sat for both. I have some experience with chickens and horses!
- Children: Some babysitting experience.
- Music: I'm primarily a jazz bassist, but have also played violin, flute, and bassoon!

I can work well on my own, but also love working with others. I'm accustomed to careful time management and problem solving!

My two weeks with Lisa and Michael were over too soon! They were wonderful hosts, and we had a lot of fun. They very graciously borrowed an upright bass for the time I was there, which was endlessly appreciated! It was so much fun to play music together, and just chat about life. I enjoyed getting to work outside in the garden, where we harvested … read more

I had an absolutely lovely time in Mattsee! I was immediately and warmly welcomed into the family, and my 4 weeks here flew by. The work was reasonable and flexible, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to cook for everyone as much as I did! Mattsee is a beautiful location to be in - I went and did a lot of cold plunges in the lake as it got colder, … read more

We had a wonderful time hosting Emilia at our place. She quickly became part of our family, and we shared many lovely conversations together. She was always helpful, friendly, and great with the kids. Communication with her was easy and pleasant.
Her cooking was absolutely delicious, and her German with an English accent was a joy to listen to. … read more

Emilia stayed with us for almost three weeks and brought a lot of laughter and joy to the farm. She is a cheerful and independent character who loves to share stories from her life and is always eager to try new things. She was very helpful, enjoys cooking, and with her creative – sometimes a bit creative, but then again very organized – way, she … read more

Alois was a wonderful host! I felt so welcomed, and in my first few days on the farm without any other Workawayers, perfectly comfortable by myself. I stayed for 2-3 weeks, and was eventually joined by other Workawayers. It was lovely to speak some German and learn more about Austrian culture, the biodiversity project the farm has become, and … read more
