I already did some farm work in Australia as a Wwoofer like maintaining the garden, taking care of horses, cows, chicken, pigs, dogs,... also helping replant some landscapes. At home in Austria i worked as a kindergarden teacher so i also like taking care of children.
I do know how to bake sourdough bread, make natural cosmetic products (also soap), have some knowledge about herbs and i am really interested in working with wood, how to preserve vegetables/fruits and living a selfsufficiency life.

Left by host (Permaculture, natural ...) for Workawayer ()

Katharina stayed with us for about two weeks. She generously offered her help to us in many fields. Whenever she wasn't asked to do something, she would figure out a way to be useful in surprisingly creative ways. At the same time she was very discreet and whatever she was doing by her own initiative would reflect OUR needs. We really appreciate… read more

Left by Workawayer () for host (Permaculture, natural ...)

A place, where everybody and everything can grow! I stayed a little bit over two weeks at Andreas, Peggys and Demetras farm. The first week i was there with Liv (another workawayer) and i could participate harvesting the olive trees. It was a great and wonderful experience to be part of the whole progress. We did everthing by hand and only handy… read more tools, which i really appreciated, since i could see everywhere else that this work is usually very loud/noisy and smelly (burning wood/using chainsaws...). It was like getting a present (in a way it was) to see, smell and taste fresh olive oil! Unfortunetly my hand hurt after two days of harvesting, but Andreas and Peggy were so understanding and lovely, they made sure i took care of myself. To rest or do other things so that i didn't need to use my right hand. Like playing and interacting with Demetra which was great fun and a pleasure since she is a very smart, pure child with an amazing personality. We also created new vegetable beds with their own compost, took care of the younger chicken, planted rocket salad/spinach.... During those tasks we either listend to good music, talked, worked in peaceful silence or Andreas/Peggy shared informations about what we were doing. Andreas and Peggy have a deep unterstanding of human relationship (and behavior as a whole) are respectful, open, honest, caring and are really interested to get to know every single person they host and remember them. It is most important to this family that everybody, including guests, is allowed to take care of him/herself, to respect needs and should feel free to respectfully talk about feelings. They also saw that i needed some time by myself a few evenings. I could feel and see that their respect towards plants and animals is as meaningful. I am really gratetful i was able to be part of their life on this oasis of land which they created by heart and step by step, still envolving. It was beautiful so see, what can be done if you believe in your path. I learned so much about myself, permaculture and how to go towards selfsufficiency. Their way of existence showed me also how i want to create my future and has/will have a unique impact of my way to think, behave and live. Andreas, Peggy and Demetra you are really lovely and i wish u all the best for the future u have in mind! Cheers, Katharina
