Description
We are a couple, Sofie from Denmark and Jonatan from Argentina. Currently we live in Herlev, Denmark in the summer time and in the winter we like to travel to other countries and world school our two kids Antu, 6 years, and Kosmo, 4 years old. Our place in Denmark is a small paradise with a wooden house, which we every year work on and try to improve. But mostly we like to spend time in the garden, growing fruits, berries and vegetables for own consumption. We also grow a lot of flowers.
We meet 15 years ago in Argentina, and have travelled and lived together in various countries and places. We have lived for three months in el Bosque Chiquitano in Bolivia, researching for sustainable use of the forest ressous. We've lived several months in Portugal working on Earth ships, kiwi and pig farm and helping out with hay bell constructions. We made a terrace for a mountain clay house in Morocco, we've worked on permaculture projects in Spain and Argentina.
Since having kids, we've continued to travel a lot. We like to world school them, as this gives us lots of freedom in our everyday life, and for the time being everybody seems to be happier with this constellation. The kids are used to being included in our everyday activities. They are both very curious to experience new things and grab all the opportunities they have to learn new things.
We've joined a work away project for a month with both kids, and it worked out really well as it was possible to find ways to integrate them in to the tasks that's need to be done.
I, Sofie am 38 years old. I have a master in forest management, but am currently working as a web developer, making homepages and other programming tasks related to homepages. My other interests includes gardening, collecting food and plants for other use in the nature, knitting and crochet and reading books. Another passion is to take photos of people and nature. Jonatan is an actor and selfthaught ballon clown. He works at festivals and parties during the summer in Denmark. Jonatan loves to construct and invent solutions for any needs that may arise. Jonatan loves to play music, read and learn new things about the world. Both of us enjoy to meet new people and exchange experiences.

We have great experience with work away, and really love this way of travelling and experiencing new places and meeting new people.

We exchanged a lot of information with sophie and her boyfriend. They consulted our library and asked a lot of questions. They want more conversation than work and unfortunally we are very busy people that we can dedicate only 3 hours a day for a volunteer. We live a sustainable lifestyle off the grid and sometimes enterteinment comes in a… read more

We stayed for two weeks - we enjoyed very much the company of the other workawayers, we were able to exchange a lot of interesting information and knowledge as they also were very interested in permaculture. We are still in concact with several of them after the end of the project. We missed more social interaction and exchange of knowledge with… read more

Sofie and Jonatan are a dynamic couple, with a can-do attitude. They are open and sharing, wise, gentle and kind. Jonatan worked hard and diligently on hand-shaving tipi poles with a draw-knife, but even at the end of the day, when most people would do what they wanted to do, he saw a broken tricycle and repaired it. Sofie is intuitive and… read more

We were so happy to stay with Bonnie and Gerald and their kids! They really understand the objective with workaway and live it out to fullest. We loved singing song from the sound of music while doing the dishes and dancing ballet while preparing the tipi poles and taking a ride on the home made horses. A house full of love and laughter! We… read more

I spent a few weeks at Andrea and Arnes place. I thought I would come and help out with their projects, but shortly after my arrival I realised that the positive energy and inclusion in this place was actually helping me to fell much better and gain a more positive mindset. I did various tasks but the thing I did the most was laughing. Very… read more

I stayed at Mortens place for almost ten days with my good friend Rosa. I very much enjoyed the company of the other workawayers, Bornholm is a beautiful island and Mortens places is situated in a very beautiful location rich on nature.
Most of the working tasks where cleaning and organising things in and outside of the house, we did a bit a… read more

The location and project is very very beautifull, we very much enjoyed working with the other workawayer and to meet Hafids neighbours. The communication with Hafid was complicated. We worked ten days in a row with out a days rest, we decided to do this to leave what we had started finished and to Hafids satisfaction. There were some… read more

Sofia and Jonaton are extremely kind, creative and intuitive. They worked very hard on the project even though I was sometimes preoccupied with other projects and commitments. They arrived as volunteers and left as good friends. I hope our paths will cross again someday to drink "mate" and practice my awful Spanish.

We had a great time at Kennys place. He invited us to join his project but leaving we felt more like a part of the big family of funny and warmhearted people. His place is full of creative construction methods and recycling ideas, and Kenny is very open to hear inputs from others. His place offers a creative playground for grownups. Kenny is very… read more
