Description
Hi! I am Joana, 32 years, living in Berlin, and working in sustainabiltiy since a few years (Circular Economy, regenerative agriculture). Currently I am taking an office-job-break and want to learn more on the ground and with my hand. I explore how I can combine the "thinking" better with the "doing" and "connecting with people and nature" side . I already voluntered in Canada, Brazil, and currently in Spain at farms, both in larger communities and with individuals/families, and always enjoyed it a lot. Now I want to learn about permaculture, regenerative agriculture, and community living in Germany to really understand nature and plants where I am from!

I am an open-minded, curious, and calm person who loves getting to know new people and connecting with them. I like doing sports (especially hiking and cycling), being outside, and doing work with and in nature.

I had the best time here, thank you everyone who made this possible!
I think this is the perfect workaway host as you have everything:
You are living at an amazing, simply beautiful spot like in paradise; all the people working there are awesome and so nice; the work is very diverse which I really liked (e.g. gardening, simple help in the… read more

Joana was super lovely to have around :) She is open minded, always pleasant-natured, with a calm demeanour, and was able to take some initiative and help to get the shared accommodations well organized with her colleagues. She has a clear mind and great logic. As a person, she is easy to get along with - we were glad to share some fun moments… read more

I loved staying at this amazing house in Seattle, it was simply perfect. All the five of them, living in a beautiful spot in Seattle, are so nice, welcoming, and open people. You feel like home right away. They integrate you into their daily life and I joined them for example when going to a Baseball game or seeing bioluminescence at an Island… read more

Joana was an excellent worker. Our garden looks vastly better now than it did when she arrived. And she cooked us an excellent vegetable curry. She is also fun to have around and was great integrating into the house and our pool of friends. We would be delighted to have her back any time.

We can certainly recommend Joana as a good worker and practical person. She asks a lot of questions, learns her role and does it well. She was great with our kids and they enjoyed spending time with her. She was very independant, explored on her own and made friends easily. Enjoy the rest of your trip Joana!

Joana, you were, by far, one of our top workawayers. With your extremely pleasant demeanor, gentle nature and lovely personality, followed by an excellent work ethic which included contributing regularly beyond your 25 hours a week, WE THOUGHT YOU WERE STELLAR IN EVERY WAY!! :) It was hard to let you go. We are very fond of you and you would be… read more

Thank you Dawn and Russel for everything during the last three weeks! It was my first workaway experience and I am so lucky I went there. The two of them, all the animals, the place, and the surrounding are simply perfect. It's really hard to describe all of that with some words.

Let's start with the hosts, Dawn and Russel, who are so nice,… read more
