Description
Hey everyone,
I'm a 29 year old political educator from Germany currently planning my summer.
I've been really interested in alternative ways of living and working for quite a while now, especially collective work and communal living. I love the great outdoors as well as cozy times at home with a good book. I value respect, honesty and kindness in my relationships and I think it's incredibly important for everyone of us to care about what's going on in the world and with the people around us.
Looking forward to meeting you!

More details about your skills
During some months I spent volunteering on homesteads in Canada a few years ago I was able to learn quite a bit about raising livestock and caring for animals. Milking goats and making cheese were some of the most amazing things I had the chance to enjoy and learn about. I also gained some experience with gardening - outside and in a poly-tunnel - and have developed a fair share of weeding skills!
I also gained experience in personal care during a year of volunteering with a disabled young woman for whom I also did housework, some paper work, cooking and generally helping to make her everyday life easier. I guess I'm a fairly good cook (and I really enjoy cooking) even though I won't be able to pull off a four course meal for twenty people ;)
In addition to that I have some rather specialized skills related to producing podcasts and such through freelance work I do for radio stations.

I spent a bit less than a week at Ute’s farm while she was away on holiday. We never met in person, but she seemed like a relaxed and easy-going person. The workload was quite light; taking care of the animals in the mornings and evenings took two of us less than two hours in total. I didn’t do much exploring in the surrounding area but was told… read more

I spent one month here and am almost lost for words to describe how wonderful it was. Karen and Richard are the kindest and most generous hosts imaginable and also a lot of fun to be around. I was treated like part of the family from the first moment on; going on boat trips with them, on an outing to Upper Canada Village and many trips to the… read more

We need a few more stars! Lucie stayed with us for the month of June. We cannot convey the joy that it was to host Lucie - she is the most positive person I have ever met. There was no job that was too dirty for her to take on (I had to secretly clean the overwinter chicken coop because I knew she would be right in there otherwise). We had a lot… read more

Lucie was wonderful to have around! She stays busy doing jobs around the household even if not asked, she really knows how to help out, and she is lovely to talk to! We got to know one another really well, I felt like she was a friend in no time!!!! Thank you for coming to help us Lucie, I have started building a rock garden with some of the rocks… read more

I stayed at the Farm for a bit more than a week and felt very welcomed by the whole family. Ume, Augie and the boys were generous, inclusive and relaxed hosts; making me feel part of the family immediately. The work load was very light; I helped out in the garden and with rock moving as well as with house-hold chores while having plenty of time to… read more

Left by host (Help at our horse-powered ...) for Workawayer (Lucie)

Lucie is an absolutely fantastic volunteer, and would be a great asset to any Workaway situation. She was willing and able to put in extra hours when necessary, as farm work sometimes cannot be fit into a rigid schedule, and was then happy to have extra time off at another point. Lucie did a lot of extra projects that have been on our blackboard… read more

I spent three wonderful weeks at the Farm. Liz and Riley were very kind, taking me in on short notice and even though it was a time of the year when they don't usually have the need for more than one volunteer. My tasks varied from cleaning and painting to helping out in the polytunnel and with the animals. Especially milking the two lovely goats… read more

Left by Workawayer (Lucie) for host (Small heritage farm and ...)

I stayed at the Farm for almost six weeks as my first workaway experience. It's a truly beautiful place, the farmhouse is cozy and full of character and the surrounding woods create a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The farm is just small enough to enable you to get to know all the animals personally - and you can't help but fall in love with… read more
