Description
#LOOKING for short-term buddiestravelers (some days or more) in Croatia from the 8h of June. I'm currently travelling alone, hitchhiking and sleeping in my tent#

My name is romain, I'm a 23 years old young man who comes from a small town in the countryside in the north of France.

I am an engineering school student and I started in September 2020 a gap year. Sincerely concerned about environmental issues, I really want to concretely know more about permaculture, low-tech, eco-construction and simply experience it ! I'm really eager to put my hands in the earth, the straw, clay and electronic stuff... to build all the solutions of a more sustainable world :)
During my gap year, I'm hitchhiking across Europe and stop in different countries in order to have a "workaway-experience".

I also really enjoy discovering different cultures and simply speaking with the others. I enjoy hitchhike because I find that I is a really great opportunity to meet really different people.

I regularly help my parents with the upkeep of the garden, but I'm not necessarily used to gardening. Apart from some interior work, I've never been involved in renovation projects, except some workaway experiences.

However, I am a very willing, hard-working and I think I'm a quick learner !

I spent 2 weeks in the farm
I had a really good time with all the volunteers and the inhabitants of the farm.
Farm work was not always easy but I appreciated to learn stuff about farming.
Sorting potatoes, weeding, planting new plants, cooking... was my main work there.

I especially enjoyed being in a remote village, in some beautiful… read more

Wir hatten viel Freude an Romain und er ist bei uns jederzeit wieder herzlich willkommen! An allem interessiert, immer fröhlich, immer hilfsbereit und so unkompliziert - es war wirklich schön mit ihm. Ein motivierter Helfer, der sich einsetzt und auch noch gute Stimmung mitbringt!

Normally I only wanted during 10 days. A month later I was still there !

The tasks were very varied, very interesting (there is a carpenter's workshop, a printery, farming, milking the cows, looking after the children, a building site...).I could always do something different.

The atmosphere was very relaxed, it was like one big family.

Maren, Ivo, Mia and their young dog Ruby are a very welcoming, nice and funny family. Ivo cooks very very tasty meals, from all over the world !
I found that there were a good balance between being part of the family and being independant.

It was a very good opportunity to see how to build an ecological building, based on wood, straw and clay. I… read more

Besten Dank Romain, für dein gutes Engagement. Es war mir eine Freude Dich in deinen Interessen weiter zubringen und den gelegentlich mir unbekannten aber interessanten neuen Wortschöpfungen zu lauschen. An der einen oder anderen, werde ich sicher noch lange Spaß haben. Da ich die wirklichen Fähigkeiten meiner Gäste am Anfang nicht kenne sind die… read more

Amazing stay in Carole's farm !

It's was my first workaway experience and it won't be my last one !
Carole is very kind with workawayers, she's quite patient, even if she is really busy with the farm.
The work is always different and you can learn a lot of things there. It was also very nice to be in contact with the customers (who buy… read more
