Description

From 2016-2020 I was on a trip around the world for 3+1/2 years. In a lot of countries I worked in gardens and in a hotel in South Africa. So I can adapt to nearly every situation. Because I like to work I am very flexible. I would like to have a job in the winter season in Austria or Bavaria. Maybe in a hotel.

I had a very great time here. I enjoyed my own hut and the work in the wonderful gardens with a lot of flowers. I love to work hard when I am for my own and can decide what to do. They let me this freedom and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you. Shelley, the owner is very friendly and helped me a lot to come to the hotel and find a good safari. I … read more

Bea is a brave and talented lady who leaves an impression wherever she goes.
She worked hard in our gardens and was always willing to help.
We are just sorry she was not able to sing for us more.

Thank you Amir and your family that you hosted me even though you had guests. I had my own little flat that was very nice. And your son Arash is a friendly nice boy.

I stayed 2 weeks working in the garden in a greenhouse. It was my best workaway experience so far. Teresa, Sebastian and Francisca are so nice people. I felt very warm wellcomed there and left some friends behind when I left. You have a big heart for dogs and cats and the nature and I enjoyed the silence and the swimming pool. I wish you that you … read more

Thank you Anne and Thomas for your very kind hosting. I felt very well and liked the work in the garden and gave guitar lessons and played with the children. A nice little town (Werder) is not far and lots of lakes, too. I enjoyed to walk around the lakes and into the wood. If someone likes the nature, good healthy food and a natural life you are … read more

Bea was great. Unobtrusive yet engaging when appropriate. A good work ethic, an early starter and flexible enough to fit in with whatever the day would bring. After a little initial apprehension with my little retriever, they became great mates. Bea moved on to a local friend of mine to continue her great work. And we'd both be pleased to see her … read more
