Description

Hi, I'm Mary from Germany! I love travelling, but I prefer to travel very slow. I am a digital nomad from Germany and work online as a teacher. Whenever I visit a new place, I try to stay longer, not just 3-4 days. This way, I believe, I can gain a greater understanding of the place, its people and culture.

How does my perfect day look like? I find a cute local restaurant for breakfast, pet some strays and observe my surroundings.

More details about your skills

I studied International Business and Environmental Ethics. Both studies helped me to create a good understanding of a) business processes and departments and b) ecological and social development.

Due to previous jobs, I gained lots of expertise in marketing tasks, including website management, newsletters and, social media,... I also spent a lot of time on farms and with (rescued) animals during my volunteering projects. Being outside and spending time with animals is my happy place!

Please note, that I am also a digital nomad, and have my online job. Thus, it is very important for me that a volunteering job is flexible with my online. job.

Mary was an absolute gift.

From the moment she arrived, she jumped in with both feet and such a genuine heart. For a little over two weeks, she cared for the dogs with so much love and consistency — walking them twice a day, cleaning up all the little doggie messes without hesitation, and giving each pup the attention they deserve. The dogs truly … read more

Long story short: Julie and the dogs are the best and it was the best decision to go there!
More detailed: I spent a bit more than two weeks with Julie and the dogs and it was an amazing experience. Julie's house is really nice. I had my own (very cozy and beautiful) room and it's located outside the main center, which I personally really liked.

Our experience with Mary was great! She is a nice focused, detailed and results oriented volunteer! She helped us paint the farm's warehouse and although she stayed for a short time she committed to the task until it was finished, which was very nice.

She also is very kind, easy going and helpful with the team!

Would recommend her to any work … read more

My stay at the farm was very last-minute. I had a short call with Rodrigo and three days later I was already on the farm. The farm is beautiful, surrounded by palm trees and jungle. It's a great place to be, to have peace and be away from the city. Rodrigo, Martin and the whole team are very nice. The work is flexible and I could also follow my … read more

I had a wonderful time with Penny and John in the most beautiful house, which you will find on the Sunshine Coast (or maybe even in Canada). They are both amazing people - kind, caring, open-minded and always up for a joke. The work is flexible and every day looked different - a bit of gardening, cooking, baking, cleaning and household chores. … read more

We feel so fortunate to have had Mary come and help us in our home & too large garden. She is kind and patient beyond her years. She is soon competent in every thing you ask of her and a joy to have around. We especially enjoyed her cute and funny practical jokes, and positive and quiet warm demeanor.

Mary was an absolute pleasure to work with. She embodied professionalism and an amazing work ethic, besides she was really warm to the entire team. It’s impossible to find anything negative here - and we here and at our sister properties wish her the best luck in her travels and discovery.

Where to start? My experience with this project was simply amazing! I didn't stay at the place, but at their sister property in Bhagsu, Northern India. Gauri and Aditya were both amazing. They are very kind, generous and open-minded people, very trusting and also giving. They always made sure I was feeling okay and checked in with me about the … read more

Mary is very sweet girl, and a very proactive and diligent worker. She worked on all tasks assigned to her with sincerity. We enjoyed doing lots of things together including cooking. We would be happy to host her again:)

I spent two weeks on Shanu and Samayra's farm and it may not have been the last time!
The farm is a little piece of heaven! It's beautiful and peaceful, a good place to escape and recharge. The farm work consisted of planting, deweeding and mulching. I also spent time rearranging the outdoor kitchen area. Since my friend and I like food so much, … read more
