Description
"Hello, is it me you're looking for? "
Do you know that song by Lionel Richie? =)
Hi, I am Lisa. I live in a small town with a lof of nature around and with lots of tourism, in the middle of Germany.
I work as a tailor at a sample department. We are making high fashion and high quality Men's Knitwear.
Most of the time, I spend dancing. Line Dance. I like the community, it's uncomplicated and you can come as you are. (Sorry my English language became a little rusty- it has alsways been rusty ,lisa XD)

About me
I am a calm, sweet person (well,i think so) but also playful and curious. I like to try new things.
I love nature and animals, dancing of course, i like to paint, to take pictures, to drive my fast car, to drive motorcycle.
I like to take action with my friends and family- oh and movies, and I really like to sleep- like the sleeping beauty, hihi. (may I should'nt have told you that)

Why
I've already spend some months in New Zealand, when I took a sabbatical with my best friend in 2019.
I'm joining workaway and doing work and travel because "I still have'nt found what I'm looking for"
Do you know that song by U2?
I want to get to know different types of work and different ways of living. Now I have the chance to do and to try things out, I would never experience in my everyday life.
Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
I'm interested in:
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Eco Projects
Animal Care
Charity Work
Language practice
Some knowledge of:
Hospitality/Tourism
Art Projects

I've spend about seven weeks at rici and alex their place. I had a good feeling from the first day on. And I can tell you- once you're there, you don't want to leave anymore. Haha.
Alex teaches you organic tanning step by step. And you'll get the chance to make your own leather. He is a good teacher and grateful when you get involved with work and… read more own ideas.
I helped with tanning, sewing and a little helping hand with the harvest.
The two will give you space in private area and work area.
There are no fixed structures in everyday life, you are doing what is coming up on that day.

The food is very good. Alex makes good dishes and Rici is awesome in cakes and stuff. If you need something, just let them know, they'll make sure that you are not going to starve and will help you with other things. Rici and Alex are also grateful if you are cooking once at a time and they're interested in new dishes from other country's.

They have a big family and someone is always visiting them. Its really nice and fun when someone is coming around.

Burgenland is a beautiful area. Very rural, a few few mountains, on the border to Hungary. And it takes one or two hours to Graz or Vienna by car.
But without a vehicle you are kind of “lost”.
On the other hand Rici and Alex will take you to the market on Saturday, let you experience the jummy taste of “Langos” or they'll take you to the lake during summertime. They also took me to Vienna once, when they had an appointment in the city.

There is wifi, making phone calls is a little bit difficult. If you have a problem with insects and spiders, you will get over it, here. I had a free therapy, haha.

Rici is very open and caring, a strong woman -the soul of the house. She knows a lot and does a lot. She loves her coffee in the morning while taking a walk in her garden. She can teach you a lot about plants and things. And no puzzle or sudoku is too difficult for her.

Alex is really in his world at their place. He will teach you the art of tanning like at a serious education. But very easy and kind. Practising is the key. He will share his knowledge with you and his trust. He has ideas and tries always to improve his products.
I am a tailor and Alex gave me material and freedom to create new things.
He supported me when I wasn't patient with myself.

I left with muscles and more confidence in myself!

Dear Alois, Omi and Opi,

Yes, we were looking for someone like you, Lisa! Always a smile and a helping hand for us. Good-willing, interested, autonomous at work, as well as relaxed, funny, in-for-everything, charming and thankful for our shared free-time.

Hello!
I've spend some weeks (winterseason/springseason) in Hamburg helping to get the old lady back into summershape. It was the best decision this year so far. The people are fantastic. I guess that's the main reason for me, why I enjoyed it so much. There are structured days with tasks, which are able to do (even for me- little miss… read more
