Description

My name is Julia Templin, I am a primary school teacher at a Montessori
school and I live with my two children (16 and 19 years old) in a single-family
house in a village near a small town (50,000 inhabitants).
I love children, animals and nature. I had two horses (Welsh ponies and
Icelandic) for 30 years. I sold them in the summer of 2023 to have less
responsibility and more freedom. Two dogs have accompanied me in my life
for 30 years. A female dog once had 12 puppies. That was a great
experience. The family currently includes a cat and three hens. My hobbies
are reading, yoga, choir, gardening, walking, drinking tea and enjoying the
sun. I also like work with wood and build something. For example, together with my daughter, I converted a children's playhouse into a chicken stall. I like art projects with for example tiles or weaving a fence.
From summer 2025 to summer 2026 I will be taking a sabbatical year. I want
to discover the world. So far I only know the continent of Europe. I would like
to live in a family, help with childcare or help on a farm with animals, I would like to have
time to explore the area and improve my language skills.
I had English lessons at school for 9 years - but unfortunately that was many
years ago. I only had French for 3 years at school, but thanks to many
vacations, my daughter's student exchange in 2021 and a one-week
language course in France in 2024, this is a little more present.

My stay with Putra and his family was very pleasant. Freshly prepared meals were always available, and we could choose freely from the menu. Putra was always reachable and reliably arranged transportation to the airport. I went on a two-day jungle trek with three other workawayers, which was a special experience. The school children come to … read more

Julia was a lovely addition to our family and fitted right in. She was hardworking and got stuck into working in our garden, cleaning it up and making it look amazing. She was very flexible, considerate and went out of her way to do extra things without being asked such as completing household chores. Being a child educator, she was awesome with … read more

Highly recommended!

A wonderful family where I immediately felt at home. Erik and Emma were so helpful, there were freshly prepared dinners, homemade bread, lovely conversations, a hike together with the baby in a carrier, newly hatched chicks, and much more. Eleven-month-old Heidi was very cheerful and quickly felt comfortable in my presence. My … read more

I made a short overnight stop with Daniela and her family.

I received a very warm welcome and immediately felt at home. I was invited to join them for pancakes for breakfast.

I'm looking forward to spending a longer time with Daniela as a workawayer one day. I'm sure it will be fun, easygoing, and full of enriching conversations. Julia

Julia stayed with us very briefly — just one night — but long enough to leave a wonderful impression.

We had been talking for a while beforehand, sharing stories about travelling, comparing notes about teaching, and chatting about all the different ways children can learn. Since we’re homeschooling and she’s also a teacher, we were really excited … read more
