Description
Hi friends!

My name is Josi (28), I’m from Germany , currently living in Hamburg on my way to becoming a psychotherapist for children. I’m a passionate volunteer traveller. I love hands-on work, being outdoors, and working with animals. Most of all, I deeply appreciate the experience of becoming part of a community far away from home.

I started traveling the world after high school and had a magical HelpX (a similar platform) experience in Australia. Since then, I’ve used HelpX and Workaway whenever I could. I’ve taught English to Nepalese children, supported a British family in Spain with homeschooling and childcare, I worked on a horse farm in the Netherlands, taking care of the garden. In Canada, I helped on a goat farm taking care of goats and chickens in minus 20 degrees. In Portugal, I supported a lovely family with their sheep and chickens and helped with various outside tasks.

I’m excited to see what the future holds, the wonderful people I’ll meet and the inspiring projects and visions I’ll have the chance to be part of and contribute to.

More details about your skills
I have various experiences in volunteering. In Australia I worked as a farmhand, helping in the garden, houshold, cooking, caring for animals and housesitting. In Nepal I taught English to primary school kids. I went to Spain and stayed with a lovely british family and helped with childcare of their three daughters. In Canada I supported a young family with animal and childcare. In my time in the netherlands I worked on a horse farm and helped with various gardening jobs.

I am a passionate cook with a love for yoga, meditation, and a deep appreciation for nature and animals. I enjoy spending time with children and value both meaningful conversations and peaceful moments of quiet with a good book.

My skills are broad and adaptable rather than narrowly specialized. I am eager to take on hands-on tasks, always ready to get involved, and deeply committed to continuous learning and personal growth.

I had five absolutely wonderful weeks with Flo, Marie, and the boys, and I can highly recommend staying with this truly amazing family to anyone who loves nature, good food, and plenty of family action.
For half of my stay, I was with other Workawayers, which was absolutely lovely. Everyone had their own private sleeping space, which was great for… read more

Josi was the last one of our triple dream team to leave and she will be missed dearly. Josefine is a lovely and bright young woman, who loves yoghurt ;-b. She stayed with us for a whole month and we enjoyed her company from the first to the last day, without exception. She is tidy, hard-working and even more: meticulous. She made it her mission,… read more

We spend three amazing weeks with Christine and Lara. In this time we learned a lot about farm life and life in the Netherlands. The jobs we did were mostly outside and ranged from easy to bit more challenging but Christine was very flexible so we were able to decide ourselves which jobs we’d like to do this day. Food was a big thing in those… read more

We had at first been a bit hesitant about hosting couples, but Josi and Anton were a true joy to have around. For the work they did- obviously- but also for their companionship, and because it so clearly showed they loved being out here, surrounded by nature- both on the farm itself and in the surrounding area.
They cheerfully did an enormous… read more
