Description
Hey I'm Julia from Germany currently traveling the world and looking for amazing places to stay, learn and to work. I worked as a pediatric nurse in Germany and have been an Au Pair in New Zealand and Australia before and have been a workawayer all around the world mainly in Canada. I do have experiences plenty of experience in all areas!

I am fairly interested in anything and love to learn whatever there is to learn. I especially enjoy being around animals, humans and working outside. Being here in Japan is such a great experience and k would like to connect more with locals, learn Japanese and more about the culture.

More details about your skills
I have worked as an au pair from 2013-2014 in New Zealand and Australia and lived in Canada for 22 months so I'd say my English is alright.
As mentioned I worked in a variety of fields so my skills are kinda random from 5* housekeeping to helping out on an off grid farm in the Yukon.
As I'm a professional pediatric nurse I know how to handle stressful situations and fast paced environments. I am a fast learning, efficient (so German), reliable, adaptable and an well communicating individual and love customer service.
I am seeking to learn more about any type of ecotourism and how to live more sustainable and self sufficient, but am also interested in learning languages and anything else.
Age
31
What else ...
I would say I'm a mindful traveler in regards of living with other people and towards the global pandemic right now. I love to explore by myself, but never mind company. For me clear communication and honesty is the key to any sort of relationship and I feel it's even more important during a workaway.

I volunteered in Sandra’s hostel a little over 3 weeks and i really enjoyed it.

The work is fairly easy as it is light housekeeping, general cleaning, check in guests and communicate with even those. The shifts vary from morning, afternoon or evening. You’ll work 5 days and get one off. The room where she accommodated us was a dorm mostly shared… read more

Julia is an exceptional volunteer with a great personality, and a quirky sense of humour. It's was a relief to have a reliable, knowledgeable person around the hostel and not to have to worry going out and doing errands. She kept busy and energetic with a positive attitude to work and personal accomplishments. It was a joy to have her around and I… read more

I seriously don't know where to start. I haven't even met these guys and was able to park my car at theirs whilst being away in Newfoundland with a friend. As they both gathered workaway experience in Europe they knew exactly what it's like to be a workawayer and I found that incredibly enjoyable as the days were well structured (usually breakfast… read more

Thank you Dave & Lisa for letting me stay at your little garden paradise.
I’ve stayed with these guys around 2 weeks and mostly worked in the garden - did some weeding or general garden maintenance.
It's been my first time around the east coast of Canada and I learned plenty about the Arcadian culture as they were able to answer all of my… read more

It's been a while since I've left but when I arrived at Shane’s farm in May he was super busy with getting the petting zoo ready for the public so another workaway showed me around.
I wish we would’ve had more time together so some expectations I could’ve fulfilled better.
I feel like clear communication is key anyways, but even more so here… read more

I’ve stayed with Darryl and Paulette for around a month beginning this year and am grateful that I was able to spend my time at theirs. I mainly took care of the feeding in the mornings (chicken and horses), cooked for them and the workers, did some light household stuff and things which needed to be done. I didn’t know that I am actually able to… read more

I intended to stay around a month at Helenes and Alex' ranch but i ended up staying over 2 months - I guess that says it all. It's a beautiful remote property with a lot of different things to do.(swimming, hiking, watching movies in the cinema or chill with the other workawayers) I started by doing horse and house 'care' at the beginning, but as… read more

Julia joined us for 5 weeks in the fall of 2020. From the moment she arrived, she fit right in with the whole farm. She is energetic, motivated, positive, and very, very funny. She was always willing to do any task asked of her (with a happy smile on her face!). Some very large projects were completed with her help and forward momentum. She was… read more

Words can barely describe the experience I had at Ryan’s and Meghanns place. Their overall rating is definitely well earned. Meghann (who is hilarious, super caring and honest) and her husband Ryan (super smart, well organized and best burger maker) and their kids Benji ( who loves LEGO as much as I do) and Margaret (my sweet little angelface) are… read more

Tara and Scott are incredibly kind and lovable people. I stayed with them just for a couple of days as I was driving back to Alberta and I was so happy when they said that I could stay. I helped dusting the entire house, processing wood and with some other household chores. I got a beautiful room all to myself and the food Scott made for us was… read more

Julia is absolutely delightful. She is pleasant, bright, funny and she is extremely hard working.

Julia was with us for three days; and in that time she accomplished two HUGE projects.

Julia came when our life is in upheaval, and she took it all in stride.

Julia was an absolute pleasure to host. Although she had not lived in a situation where a little wood stove was her only heat source, in a motorhome, she adapted quickly. She loved working with the animals and was always cheerful. Julia and another girl I am hosting longterm got on famously and inspired each other, creating all sorts of dried… read more

Christinas Farm was the first ever Farm I stayed on and experienced all the perks of living off grid. To be honest it took me a bit to get used to it but in the end I had trouble leaving as I loved it so much. I stayed in the motorhome and when I figured out how the wood stove worked it was such a cozy little home. I basically helped feeding and… read more

I’ve just spent 2 weeks at this place and experienced so many different work areas such as the boat rental, housekeeping or dishwashing in the restaurant. The staff is really kind and especially Sasha and Ania always had an open ear. The staff accommodation has seen a lot Workawayers through the years but has everything you need plus a huge… read more

It was such a pleasure to have Julia with us!
Her housekeeping skills are fabulous and I could trust her from day one that a room would be perfect, clean, tidy and Covid free! She had no problem to follow our New Covid Protocol, and was flexible when things evolved. Cleaning a room, a yurt, the dining room, common area, organizing for the next… read more
