Description

30 years on the clock, grew up in a German village, been working and travelling in New Zealand and Australia since nearly 5 years and been working, traveling or did work away since then. The last 12 months I've spent in Melbourne.

Why did I come to Work-away? Life is constant work on oneself whatever we do- Helping others instead of only looking after myself feels like the mortar for the fundament of this work. I am also very active, always like to do something and experience.

I'd be happy to help out with any kind of work. As I am a builder/ engineer and traveller I worked in a suit as well as knee deep in the mud and might be able to help you out with a general all round knowledge. I do look forward to meet you.

It's been a challenging and beautiful experience and I would for sure recommend to stay if you're around. I've been welcomed well from the first second. Shelly has also been very flexible in terms of when and how much to work. I never worked with kids before but got into it very quick. They will test you in which way you can take an opportunity to … read more

Florian is a very respectful and kind person who quickly became part of the family. Whatever jobs he was asked to do he did well and was thorough and methodical. Flo is very committed to his yoga and meditation practice which was inspiring and really made a difference in his approach to daily life. Although Flo hasn’t spent much time around young … read more

Flo was a highly trusted, gentle, considerate and sweet workaway who quickly fitted into our community. He came for a few weeks and stayed here on and off for close to a year! He is a multi-skilled and helpful person. He brings a listening ear, an open heart and encourages others towards positive change. His dedication to a positive yoga life … read more

The only thing I can tell you is to not miss out on this opportunity.

Wanting to pass by for one or two weeks I did end up staying for 12 months and am not able to express how much magic happened during this time. Many moments were filled with love, friendship, support, music and growth for each other. It has been a unique experience in 5 years … read more

I stayed with Christina during a Yoga retreat and a stay in Melbourne. My first workaway experience before this one went so so, while I had here with Christina, her son and guests such a positive experience over all. I felt very comfortable & welcome from the first day until the end. We had some nice philosophical conversations, fun, good food … read more

Florian came spontaneously a the last moment before I left to go away for a week. He was very capable, reliable and responsible with looking after my house, garden and animals. It was wonderful to have a strong young man to assist with lots of heavy lifting jobs and he built a fantastic retaining wall, and chopped/chainsawed lots of wood for me. … read more
