I love to do a lot of things, but the best ones are to draw and to sing. I have to let my creativity run free, otherwise I’m really unhappy. Let’s live our life, let’s run free!

Description

Hello lovely peeps, my name is Jael and I come from Switzerland.

I’ve just finished my education as a graphic designer and I’m now looking for places where I can stay a little longer, become part of a community and really connect with people instead of just passing through.

I love creativity in every form – I love making music, playing guitar, dancing, drawing, tattooing, making jewellery, design, pottery — I guess it's safe to say that creating things is simply a huge part of who I am. Music is a major part of my life and I’m the kind of person who wants to sing together, dance around a fire, laugh until it hurts and stay up way too late having deep conversations.

At the same time, I love simple living and being outside. I’m happy to work in the garden, help with animals, cook, build, clean, carry things, learn new skills and get my hands dirty. I actually love those days where you’re exhausted in the best possible way.

What I’m really looking for is community, nature, freedom, creativity, music, warmth and real human connection.

I’m not trying to collect as many places as possible. I’m looking for places that make me want to stay ✨

I’d love to contribute, learn, create, work hard and hopefully meet some beautiful people along the way.

More details about your skills

I think that I am able to do anything that needs a creative mind: like painting, decorating, organizing, cooking...
I'm also doing very well with animals, I have a dog, a cat and a snake and I love them very much.
I also like working with children or teenagers, if it's teaching them, taking them for a walk or just look after them and play with them.
Even though I don't do manual work very often, I definitely think that I could build something together or fix something if it needs to be fixed.

It was a real pleasure to have Jael with us and it was quite sad when she had to leave.
She is a kind and pure soul, very resourceful for her age and always willing to learn. She showed so much motivation and I was astonished to see how easily she could handle our groups of dogs. She accepted all the tasks we asked her to do without any problem, … read more

Okay, where do I start… I’ve been volunteering at this place for about a month. Wow. I think, even if I’d try I don’t think I’d find the right words to describe this experience. I never thought a place with so much love would exist. I’ve been looking for it; and I’ve found it. Even though there were some harder and some easier times, all in all … read more

Oh, where do I start… Once again did I have such an amazing experience and found the place where I was meant to land on my journey… Yes, I had a really wonderful time on the farm. Michael and Lisa are two absolutely amazing, beautiful and wise souls. When I arrived it felt like I just came home after a long time of traveling. They took care of me … read more

We had great time with Jael. It was a pleasure to welcome here in our farm for few weeks. She is responsible and an always ready volunteer whenever i needed help. We had nice time with her and other people in the farm even it was the rainy season. Besides the work here we had many activities like hiking, rock climbing, visiting local places around … read more

To be honest, I cannot really describe my time at Suha’s farm. This was my second workaway experience and it was absolutely fantastic! :D Suha is such an open hearted, kind guy and I’ve definitely learned a lot from him. He taught us about plants and farming, took us to really cool places (we even went rock climbing a few times) and provided us … read more
