Description
Hello :)
My name is Miro. I'm 23 years old and grew up in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
I'm currently studying Biology at the University of Zurich. I love visiting new places, meeting new people and just experiencing the world. In 2019 I stayed at a workaway in Iceland for 3 months and it has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
Also in the summer of 2022 I've stayed in Denmark as a workaway. And once again it has been so amazing and a great learning experience.
I'm very interested in biology but also everything creative. I love listening to music and going to concerts. In my freetime I spend a lot of time drawing and hiking through nature with my dog and my camera in my hand :)
I'm currently searching for ways to spend my 2023 and workaway always seems like the best way to do that!

Miro

The best & sweetes workawayer who almost got away!

Miro was our 3. Workawayer in 2023, and stayed here for 2 weeks, at the end of July.

We heard from Miro last year, when he was doing his Tour de Denmark. Sadly we had to say no, because we had a revisit. BUT he was the one that got away! We were so sorry to let him go, so we agreed that he… read more

Dear Nynne and Søren,

Thank you so much for letting me experience your beautiful farm and workaway experience! Eversince we first texted over a year ago, I was hoping to be able to come by and get to know you and your place. After spending my two weeks there, I can say that every second of waiting was worth it! I'm so happy to have found two new… read more amazing friends in the north of Denmark.

From the first second of my arrival after a big hug of both Søren and Nynne I felt at home. The small farm sits in a beautiful part of Denmark in the middle of the countryside. All around are beautiful forests and wild nature. The farm consists of a big vegetable garden, a cute home and of course such a cozy room for the Workaway to stay in. As other reviews have said, you will have one of the best sleeps of your life in there :D

The days were mainly spent in the garden picking weeds, cleaning stuff and fixing different things like the windows. The main highlight for me though were the evenings we were able to spend together. Nynne and Søren are such amazing people! Søren with his 52 years (and a few days) is really funny (sometimes) and is a master at morning omelettes and perfectly toasted bread. We've had so many interesting discussions about life, music and of course BURGUNDY WINE!

Nynne was so welcoming and we had some great talks about life in the countryside. She showed me so many intersting things about gardening and preparing delicious meals. The food you'll be able to try as a workaway is also one of the highlights. Especially all the foods that they are able to prepare with the vegetables that they grow themselves.

And then there are of course all the animals. The three icelandic horses are so beautiful and eventhough the weather was against us, we were able to go for some walks with them. The chickens are always around when you walk outside. And lastly there's the cats. I was lucky enough to visit at a time where there were 5 kittens. And I miss them sooo much. I really hope the Diver, Grey, Chubby, Camel and the Explorer will find a great home for the future. It was so fun to watch them slowly start exploring the house and being more playful. Billie Holiday and Elvis are amazing cats as well and love to be cuddled.

On free days Nynne and Søren will see that you can explore the region as you want. I was able to visit Aalborg and I could take a bike to sea which was great.

Thank you again so much for this beautiful experience! I miss you guys and all the animals so much and really hope to see you very soon! Take care,

Miro

My experience at this family with the beautiful farm has been nothing short of amazing!
The farm lies in a beautiful area with a lot of farmland and green fields. The closest beach is very peaceful and can easily be reached by bike. The farm itself is a small paradise. It's very old and needs a lot of work but it's so cool to see it slowly… read more

Miro is a wonderful kind young man with great humor. He works hard and accurately and is a great company. Miro worked with many things on the farm, took care of animals, baked cakes, made a firepit, Cut and installed glass in a door but most of all his own project was to organize and clean up our toolroom and now everything is labeled and sorted!… read more

Where to start... Miro is just a fantastic person. He is only 19 but has so much to offer the world through interesting conversation and a keen interest in trying or learning new things. He is funny, is very engaged, is proactive and gets on well with everyone. All our animals and the people here were cared for and respected. He cleaned up after… read more

It was such a beautiful experience to stay at this farm. I enjoyed it a lot to work with all of the animals. Katie and Siggi are both very nice people and I learnt a lot from them. I will never forget the long evening talks with Siggi. During my almost three months of staying there, I learnt so much about farming in general but also about the… read more
