Description
Hi I'm Philipp!

I'm currently finishing grad school in philosophy. I'm originally from Munich, Germany, but have also lived in the US (10y) and the Netherlands (2y). I'm bilingual and have always enjoyed the exchange of cultures and learning new languages.

After my undergrad degree I traveled around Europe and Morocco. During that trip I did three different work away experiences, so I'm not a newbie to the site and know what I'm getting into. :)

I really enjoy music, both listening and making it. I play a little piano, and enjoy jam sessions and sometimes singing (although my talent there is limited haha) I'm also a big fan of philosophy, discussing art, literature, film, languages etc.

At home we have 3 cats and a dog so I enjoy spending time with animals. I enjoy working in the garden although I'm no expert. I enjoy simple tasks like weeding etc. and am always interested in expanding my horticultural horizons and just love being in the fresh air and working in a team.

I often go hiking with my friends and in the last 2 years I've also been sailing a lot and have gotten interested in the boat life.

I'd describe myself as an an easy going adaptable person and I think my many trips and exchanges have made me very good at adapting to new locations and different cultures. I'm a thoughtful and curious person and enjoy meeting new people. I don't mind being alone and doing my own thing, but also enjoy being in company and learning about other people.

I'm really interested in learning how to live sustainably and grow food, repair things, build things etc. I haven't had too much experience but am very motivated and a quick learner.

Looking forward to meeting you!

We really enjoyed having Philipp stay with us this Spring. He is easygoing, has wide ranging interests, a hard worker, and fit right in with our family. He did a lot of work prepping the garden. We would love to have him again in the future! Highly recommended.

I stayed with Aurora and Paolo for 10 days and it was an excellent work away experience! They are generous hosts and treat their guests very well. Communication was easy, direct and clear. I mostly worked around the garden, planting seeds, making gopher baskets (something I’d never heard of) and weeding. The work times were negotiable and there… read more

Philipp was a great person to have aboard. He was pro-active and worked hard (and played hard...:-). Together with the other crew members he really made a difference for the ship. I recommend Philipp for great work. Cheers!

I stayed with Fred and the crew for a little over two weeks in April. We worked a lot on painting and sanding the boat; the work was not too difficult nor too long. Fred is a very relaxed dude and took good care of the crew, additionally he's a great cook. It was very fun working with the international crew and I felt like the boat was my second… read more

I spontaneously stayed with Werner for a week and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The area around the farm is incredibly beautiful and I enjoyed every moment of being outside all day. We worked very hard, but Werner was always checking if the work was alright. I just enjoyed myself so much I did more than necessary. I took care of the sheep and… read more

I had a great time staying with Marc, Kristina and Mitch. Even though the weather wasn't that great at the beginning I really enjoyed working outside every day. There was lots of work to be done and it was varied and interesting. We had great discussions during our meals (there was also always great cheese and wine), and I got to meet some of… read more

It was a very nice experience to host Philipp who proved to be not only of a good help on board the boat but also a good guy to chat with.
Philipp understood our particulars and adapt very quickly. He was involved in various tasks from general cleaning to sanding.
I would be happy to recommend him and have him again with us !
