    Hello, I am Laura, 26 years old and from Austria in Europe.
    The nature is my passion and haven of tranquility.

  • Description

    Servus,
    may I introduce myself: Laura (26)- an animal-crazy nature lover who enjoys being outdoors and muck in wherever needed.

    Giving free rein to my creativity means to me: creating new cake and bread recipes, sewing a costume for my little sister, trying to learn the guitar and painting the walls.
    To do something with my hands brings joy in my life, because of that I did a vocational job as a house-painter.

    My familiy is very important to me. I spend a lot of time with them and if there is someone who needs help, I am always there. E.g. helping my aunt at her suckler cow husbandry, feeding the chicken and pigs, planting trees in the forest of my uncle and so on.

    I am grown up in the countryside with a big orchard. We mostly have pears, apples, plums and kriecherl (type of plum), but also grapes and aronia. I love harvesting season. I always try to preserve as much as possible. We store the apples in a root cellar and make our own apple juice. This year I created different jellys. I love to try something new, for example homemade sweets made from dried fruits.

    I would like to find a host, which I can help with my skills and where I can learn something new. I am looking forward to a memorable time where we are working with a smile on the face.

    See you soon!

  • More details about your skills

    Painting
    I worked as a professional house painter. I especially like to prime walls. My father makes internal plaster from clay (professional). I sometimes help him, it is a hard, muddy work, but the final result is amazing.

    Farming
    I attended an agricultural school and I have made a work experience at a little organic dairy farm in the mountains of Austria for a months. I also have experience with poultry.

    Gardening
    I cut the branches of our trees, we have a big orchard. Harvesting time is the most time-consuming part of the year - but my favorite :)
    I also grow vegetables in my garden. Last year I concentraded on tomatoes and sweetcorn. I harvest my own seeds, which I plant the next year.

    Child sitting
    I also have a qualification in childcare and because of my little six year old sister I have a lot of practice.

    Cooking/ baking
    I love baking and I always try to create new recipes, including self made chocolate bars. I also like cooking. I would really like to prepare typical Austrian dishes like Wiener Schnitzel, Mohnnudeln or Kaiser Schmarren for you. I am also open-minded to new dishes from other countries. For some times I get stuck into fermentation - I have a kombucha and make my own Sauerkraut.
