Description
I am a computer specialist from Germany. For a long time I worked in Germany for a daily newspaper in the office and after I finished this job, I discovered traveling and working and being together with people. It's the best time for me to create, harvest or build something outside, together with others.

If you like working on the future, you've come to the right place. Writing, reading and arithmetic is the key to a better future in Uganda. Also a better future for us.

It was a pleasure to have Marko here with us! He was every morning prepared starting with work. After he has known our procedures, he has done them by himself without any request! Also he has seen by himself what was necessary to do and just did it!

I stayed with Katja and Heiko for two months - May, June 2023. The experiences I was able to have during this time are among my most valuable workaway experiences. The relatively long duration was a right decision. So I was able to get to know people and animals sufficiently. It was a shame to leave. Especially dealing with the horses, with which… read more

This farm in the Negev desert, very close to the Egyptian border, is a magical place. I was in this place in December 2022. Unfortunately, the pomegranate harvest was already over. But there are also plenty of projects where you can prove yourself. I harvested turmeric in the greenhouse and we made bricks. Eitan welcomes everyone with great… read more

Don't shy away from his age ,in general I'm skeptical with the more matured aged volunteers but you will be surprised with this man's strength and endurance, i put him to the test and he did not disappoint! If you are looking for a strong man then Marko is your man! danke schön hope to see you in the future

What a wonderful place. What wonderful people ... Janice and Xander live together with their son Leo and their dog Norla in a very green place near Port Elizabeth not far from the beach. I worked and lived with them for a month. It's fun to help Xander with his countless projects on the farm. He has a lot of ideas and is a good team leader.… read more

Marko was absolutely great to have with us! This German from Hamburg is strong and fit : ), extremely respectful to others and a great great great cook! Marko will prepare a meal for 2 hours and the outcome... a FEAST!
He helped us in so many ways and we were glad that we could also share so many different tasks/skills with him.

Marko is a very strong and keen workawayer and he was always happy and motivated to harvest our olive trees. He had a lot of fun driving our truck, he volunteered to cook some tasty German meals for the whole team and he repaired our bicycle. With all of the other workawayers he was very friendly, always ready to help and he organised team… read more

I visited Catia and Dimitri in November and December 2021 and helped with the olive harvest. It was an indescribably beautiful time, an ideal mixture of pleasant work, conversations, good Greek cuisine and a lot of warmth. I look back on it fondly and am very grateful for it. My first workaway... a great experience.
