Description
Hi! My name is Lara and I'm a 30yo graphic designer from Switzerland. Through workaway I'm looking for a way to travel the world with a bit more of an insight in everyday life in other countries & cultures, not just seeing the surface like when staying at a hotel. I really like to experience a place and get to know the people there.
I'll start my travels in july 2019 in Canada (west coast). Let me know if you're interessted.

More details about your skills
I could help with computers and with any graphic related work if that's helpful (creating a flyer, website...). Due to my job I'm also quite experienced with social media, I could help with that as well. I'm glad to work around the house, in the garden, clean the house, cook, go shopping. I can look after kids as long as they are not too young (I have no experience with babies), I worked as an au-pair in scotland and was looking after a 10yo boy. I'm really fond of animals and would love to look after them or take dogs for walks ect.
I could help with building and farming as long as someone gives me some instructions. I'm hard-working and conscientious.

What else ...
Even though I love cats I'm allergic to cathair. I don't think it's impossible for me to live in a house with a cat, but I would need the cat to be banned from my room and especially my bed.

The work is fairly hard but in exchange you only work 4 days which makes it very ok. Dominique is also keen on showing people around and knows all the best restaurants.

The people and the whole atmosphere was amazing, we had so much fun. Work was fairly easy and very structured. The afternoons were free which was great to go explore the valley & go on hikes.
It was actually hard to leave, so I can only wholeheartedly recommend anyone to stay in that amazing place.
Lara was a great addition to our volunteer team. She was hard working, self motivated, eager and willing to learn, and never complained about the hours or tasks… read more
First of all the place itself is just so beautiful, surrounded by mountains, woods and lakes. And also the staff at the lodge is super friendly and welcoming.
The rules about work were quite clear, so we were always off in the afternoon and had time to explore the area. The work itself is versatile and not… read more

It was a bit sad that she was on vacation for a week so we couldn't spend more time with her. But on the other hand side I had… read more
