Description

Hi, I’m Julia, a 32-year-old, grounded, and open-minded traveler who embraces an introvert's balance: I am highly active and love outdoor adventures, but I equally cherish my quiet moments alone. In 2025, I left my 9-to-5 accounting job to step outside my comfort zone and spend more time out in nature.

Since then, I’ve completed several inspiring Workaway projects in northern Europe.
I’m currently spending a year in Canada, exploring its incredible landscapes, wildlife, and outdoor opportunities. I worked at a campground on Van Island in summer, where I helped with housekeeping and reception tasks and will spend the winter in the Yukon, working with sleddogs.

When I'm on the move, I love hiking, swimming, running, cross-country skiing, or just being out in the elements. To recharge, I enjoy reading, practicing yoga and creating/planting things with my hands. I am reliable, hardworking, and truly look forward to helping you with your project while enjoying a peaceful, authentic cultural exchange. 😊

More details about your skills

Practical & DIY:
I love hands-on work. Back in Germany, I maintained my own house, gaining experience in painting, gardening, and sustainable DIY projects. Through my Workaway experiences, I’ve expanded these skills to include basic carpentry, terrace flooring, upcycling furniture, and general maintenance.

Hospitality & Caretaking:
I’m an experienced house- and petsitter and have managed Airbnb check-ins. Last winter I worked at the reception of a 4* hotel in Austria, which honed my hospitality and organizational skills. I deepend theses skills while working as a receptionist and housekeeper on a campground in Canada. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and I'm always happy to help out with daily tasks.

Reliability & Mindset:
Having worked as an accountant for 10 years, I am naturally structured, reliable, and a great problem solver. I am physically fit, used to active outdoor tasks, and a fast learner who works well independently.

I’m particularly excited to learn more about advanced carpentry, farming and working with sleddogs!
