Description
Hi, we are Maja and Katharina.

Maja's second home is nature where plants and animals surround her. Sport and writing texts especially poetry are also things that make her happy. She loves conversations with different people who have their own kind of living and various stories. But sometimes she also enjoys time for herself for reflecting and grounding again.

Katharina is happy when she can help others and especially loves to work with children or animals. Spending time outside in nature is also something she likes.

We are looking forward to meet new people and exchange experiences!

The sanctuary with all the animals is a beautiful place. Pippa welcomed us very friendly and is a heartwarming person who did all her best to make us feel like home. It's inspiring how she puts the animals' lives over hers and still is independent in what she's doing. We had variable tasks to do and learned a lot during our stay!

These 2 best friends Maja and Katharina were really fabulous volunteers here. Always positive and energetic, they easily managed the animal's routines here, cleaned the paddocks and did gardening. Then they trained the new volunteers arriving and worked so well as team. Tidy, polite and discrete house guests, these girls added a lot of value… read more

The stay at the Retreat was an awesome experience. Mac and Hayley welcomed us friendly so it felt like home from the first day on. Everybody was such a lovely character and we loved to spend time with them especially the three kids gave us a lot of positive energy! To meet Craig was a pleasure as well. Being with him felt peaceful every second. We… read more

We enjoyed our stay with Dessa and her family very much! We had our own space in the barn and really liked the facility. Our work was easy so that we had enough free time to follow the recommendations of the family, for example Russel and Waitangi. All of them created a welcoming atmosphere, were interested in our well-being all the time and even… read more

It has been a real pleasure to host Katharina and Maja. They tick every box in what I would think of as an "ideal Workaway person", being enthusiastic, energetic, interested and adaptable. I also found them to be great company and respectful sharers of my home. During their two weeks here they very effectively tackled weed control in the forest,… read more

Mike was our first Workaway experience and it turned out very well. He and his little puppy Billy welcomed us friendly and Mike didn't hesitate to show us his way of life. We spent a lot of time together, visited a stunning beach, watched glowworms and the YouTube sessions in the evening have been pretty nice as well. Moreover we gained a lot of… read more
