Description

🌿 Hi, I’m Marion 🌿
25, from Germany. I’m currently finishing my Master’s in Communication and Design for Sustainability and, after many months of research, writing and screen time, I’m more than ready to get outside again, work with my hands and spend time with animals and people.

----------------------------------------------------------------
☀️ What I’m looking for this winter☀️
For this winter (Dezember(January) , I would love to spend around 6–8 weeks somewhere warm in Europe, ideally on a small farm, ranch or retreat center with horses.
My perfect place would allow me to spend plenty of time outdoors, help with everyday farm and animal care, work with horses and maybe share some yoga along the way. 🐴
After finishing my thesis, I’m deliberately looking for physical work and real-life experiences rather than spending my days doing social media, reception or computer work.

----------------------------------------------------------------
✨ A little more about me✨
I’m a curious, active and reflective person who loves learning, exchanging ideas and discovering different ways of living.

Yoga, travelling, living in different countries, working with horses and meeting people with very different backgrounds have shaped the way I see life. Today, I try to live in a way that feels healthy, active and connected - to my body, to myself, to other people and to the world around me.

I care deeply about conscious living, health, sustainability and our relationship with nature, but without being dogmatic about any of it. I enjoy different perspectives, good conversations, humour and people who are simply trying to find their own way of living a good life.

I love movement, animals and being outdoors, but I also have a strong creative side. My experiences range from horses and farm life to yoga, sustainability, communication and creative projects.

I enjoy sharing meals, conversations and everyday moments with the people around me. At the same time, I’m quite proactive and usually have plenty of ideas, interests and little projects to keep myself busy.

----------------------------------------------------------------
💬 Let’s connect💬
I’m always happy to receive a message and usually enjoy having a short video call beforehand. For me, it’s the easiest way for both sides to get a genuine feeling for each other.
And if you’re another Workawayer nearby, feel free to reach out too! I’m always happy to meet up, explore together or simply exchange experiences. :)

🌱 Sustainability & Design for Transformation🌱

-------------------------------------------------------

🐴 Horses & Horsemanship🐴

I started riding and vaulting as a child and returned to horses through farm and Workaway experiences in 2020. Since then, I have gained several years of experience in everyday horse care and groundwork.

I feel confident with:
*feeding, grooming & stable work
*leading, lunging & groundwork
*basic Parelli-style and desensitisation exercises
*communication-based horsemanship

I have also practised horseback archery and attended several camps as well as a basic Parelli course.I am comfortable on horseback, but still want to improve my riding skills, especially in Western riding.
What fascinates me most about horses is their sensitivity to body language, presence and intention. For me, good horsemanship starts with becoming aware of how we communicate ourselves.

“I´m going on an adventure!”- this is what I am always thinking when I am beginning a new journey, always having this picture in my mind how Bilbo Baggins left his comfy hobbit whole to start the probably greatest adventure of his life. I wasn´t expecting how Bilbo-Like this Workaway-experience was going to be and that I would even be able to … read more travel to Middle-earth.
I stayed for one month with Hana, Bagr and the three (soon four) boys and I am so thankful for all those amazing experiences I have made there. I felt welcome right away. The whole family is really kind and uncomplicated. The children are very independent, well-behaved and smart and it was always fun watching them play. Next to them I met plenty of other new and inspiring people.
The work felt never to hard and I had quite a lot of free time. Hana and Bagr are easy-going and flexible and I could always choose when I was going to do which tasks. My main task was taking care of the horses. Bringing them hay and water once a day and mucking out the paddock. Next to this I helped in the kitchen or cut the grass in the yard. There was always something that had to be done.
Hana taught me a lot about horses and how to work with them and we had plenty of nice conversations about various topics. She´s is such an intelligent and inspiring person and knows so many things. I really enjoyed those evening we were just sitting in the kitchen and talking or watching some Strange 😉 movies xD
Furthermore, I even got the opportunity to take part at the Rhovanion-LARP that took place in the middle of August. LARP means Life-Action-Role-Playing and you in very short you can describe it as playing an Computer-Game in real. It took place in a forest, where medieval tents and camps where built and for three days we pretended being in Middle-Earth. We walked around in costumes like for example elves, hobbits or humans and each of us played his own character. There was a story we played, many orcs we had to fight, lots of party at the camps of the hobbits. It was just an absolutely unique and amazing adventure!
My time there was just incredibly awesome, and I could write so much more about it, but then this would become a novel and not just a feedback. XD Hana and Bagr are amazing people and it was great to see how they are realizing their dreams and literally living in another world. I was able to learn many, many things from them.
Thank you so much for this very special time and I really hope to see you again!
Best wishes
Marion

My time with Daja, Christian and the children was my first Workaway-experience and it couldn´t have been better. I am so thankful for the amazing time I had on the Ranch! I made so many new experiences and got to know plenty of new people.
From the first day on I felt like a part of the family. Daja and Christian are genuinely nice and easy-going … read more
