Description
Hello, my name is Lea, I’m from Austria and 23 years old. My profile has been paused for a while after having explored Europe in a gap year following my A-levels. Right now, I am studying "economy - ecology - politics" in Vienna and enjoying student life very much, but I have also missed travelling and learning from people all over the world.Which is why I am super excited that I have the opportunity to travel for 2 months this summer again!

Scandinavia is a region I haven't been to yet but have always wanted to explore. I am looking forward to discovering nature, making enriching experiences and learning new skills, and especially connecting with interesting people and spending time working and discussing together. However, I sometimes also need time just for myself, so working alone is no problem for me.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature like hiking, swimming and taking my dog for a walk. I also love to read and sew clothes for myself.

Concise, I’m a positive, creative, adventurous, eco-minded and sometimes overthinking person who can’t wait to meet YOU :)

More details about your skills
I have completed training as cook and waitress and have also gained experience in working in the gastronomy sector during a three-months internship in Switzerland and afterwards occasionally besides school. I have never cooked professionally, but I like to cook at home for my family.

Besides, I have done a lot of babysitting in the last 10 years or so. I have experience in looking after children from two to twelve years.

Since my family has pets (two dogs, one cat and two chicken) and my aunt owns a farm with cattle where I help when I can, I also know how to milk cows, clear out the stables and how to treat animals in general.

I have no particular skills in gardening or carpentry, but I have helped with different tasks at home amd during my previous workaway stays and am eager to learn whatever you can show me and give you a helping hand!

Lea was so great to have at our house. She baked us cookies and bread daily, was always available for sharing, community and participating in everything. She is a real country girl who has experience with cooking, gardening, animals and is just a wonderful person. We love her

I stayed with Helena and her family for two weeks in december, something which I can definitely recommend. The weather was still warm enough to go swimming in the sea! I liked the bicycle ride to the coast and walks in the beautiful surroundings, but what I am most grateful for is to always have been invited to join Helena's Yoga classes and other… read more

I stayed with Mercè, Llum and David for only one week in december and had a very nice time there. They live in a town with a beautiful beach and coastline as well as small mountains within 10-15 minutes walk. In summer, the place is visited by many tourists, but I can definitely recommend to come during the off-season. The landscape is just as… read more

When I came to Marina and Jošt, the weather was rather cold and rainy and living practically outside and taking cold showers was an adventure, but definitely a good one! Marina described the situation very accurately on the profile and there were no unexpected surpises, and I guess in a few months a couple of things will also have changed for the… read more

We loved spending this week with you, full of emotions, experiences... The stay was too short!! We hope to see you again and we follow your adventures... See you soon!

I only spent one week with Angélique, Florian and their two children, but it was an amazing week. I felt really comfortable with the family, who included me instantly in their everyday life.
The tasks were pretty varied and I did some cooking, helping in the garden, sewing, playing with the children, ... A special experience was the birthday party… read more

Léa spent 3 weeks with us. Thanks to her, everyday life was a lot easier! Once she found her feet, Léa proved to be a super-helpful volunteer: autonomous, trustworthy, hard-working. She has been patient and gentle with the children, attentive and careful with the animals. She's also been a great help with the autumn work in the garden.
She's… read more

I can only repeat what has already been said in the other feedbacks: My stay in Brittany has been great and a good opportunity to get to know life of a French family and spend relaxing time in the countryside.
During the weekdays I'd always pick Soane up from school and spend some time with her in the parc before we'd go home and I'd support Chloé… read more

Hi Lea it was a pleasure to have you arround and a great help. You were really dedicated to get things done right and always ready to assist if needed. I am happy to read you had a great time too and now our children know how to make sacher torte and apfelstrudel. It tasted great. Thank you

I spent a wonderful 2.5 weeks with this super-friendly family. From the first day I felt very welcomed by both Emmy and André and the children. I really enjoyed playing games and cooking Austrian dishes with Anne and Mart, and I could learn a lot about construction work. After a day of drilling out cement of old walls, cutting bricks or painting… read more

Lea was a super volunteer at the station. Summer was a busy time, and while some volunteers just picked the easy stuff or stood to the side where-ever possible, Lea jumped right in, no matter the job. In the garden, setting up beds, shifting that big pile of soil, always working.. reliable, trustworthy, good vibes. Not one to complain, easy going… read more

I made my first workaway experience at the old station and I liked it very much. It was great having other volunteers around and work was fun, sometimes physically tough (we moved a lot of soil :) but we were always able to make breaks or do different tasks (cleaning the apartments, changing bedsheets, helping with cooking, ...).
