Description
Hi! My name is Kara, I am 19 years old and graduated from high school last year.
A couple of fun facts about me:
- My mother tongue is German but I absolutely adore the English language.
- I love animals & nature. I did horseriding when I was a kid, love literally every dog I see and will, without fail, point out every pretty cloud or tree I see.
- I am an artist. I fell in love with acting when I was in 3rd grade and became passionate about dancing about 2 years ago. I'm also a big fan of poetry & music.
- Furthermore, I'm interested in photography & psychology.
- Healthy open communication is extremely important to me! I'm very insightful and always ready to find a compromise both parties are happy with. I'm caring, sensitive, funny & easy-going, you just have to talk to me :)

If you're interested in bikes/bodybuilding/photography/music/being self-sufficient/building and looking for a quiet surrounding, you might've just hit the Jackpot finding this Workaway.

It is a remote place, surrounded by fields and beautiful nature. I loved stepping out of the house, taking a deep breath and a moment to appreciate the… read more peacefulness. If you'd like to go for a walk, Dusty will be more than happy to accompany you while you explore the beautiful area.

Speaking of Dusty, he's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. He's so gentle in everything he does, visibly listens to and cares about you, is incredibly handsome and just lovely. And if you want to give back some of the joy he'll bring you by being around him, throw him a stick (or literally anything that is throwable - a frisbee, a sock...it really doesn't matter) - you'll make his day.

About the host - Oliver is an incredibly generous host who wants you to feel at home. He enjoys teaching people and it shows...the two biggest things I'd like to mention here are riding a dirtbike & bodybuilding. You've never ridden a dirtbike before? No problemo, this will be a great first experience.
Whether you're already into training or want to get into training- Oliver can turn your flat ass into a hot one...the only condition: you have to put in effort and be motivated. No whining about leg day, there's no skipping leg day!!!!
Oliver is the most grateful person I've ever talked to. When I brought it up, amazed by how regularly he practices gratitude, he simply said "I don't practice it, I feel it"- which, as one can imagine, is a beautiful vibe to be around.

My work consisted of various things & will probably always be unique for every individual (depending on what's going on - generally as well as building-wise, your skills and likings and, of course, what's agreed upon beforehand). Worth mentioning is definitely that you won't be working FOR but rather WITH someone. It's more like living/working together and finding a routine everyone feels comfortable with.
This works best if you're an energetic/enthusiastic person, approaching things with a "Let's do it!"-mentality. Finding a balance of giving and receiving is crucial and easy with a host like Oliver.

Making conversation with him is a joy and never awkward...there are a lot of topics you could find common ground on. If you're a big movie fan - bingo. If you like to sing...go for it, there's a guitar around. Be free.

The support & appreCiation he provided and gifted me, will stay with me and for that and everything else, Oliver, I want to thank you.

Kara was here for three months and made a big impression. Her English is academic standard and she uses it to great effect - she is funny, entertaining, and a joy to be around - but prepare to get roasted every now and then - still there is something quite flattering about someone observing your idiosyncrasies even if it is to roast you with… read more
