Hey🌞 We are Kristina👩🏻🌾 and Tate🐶 (my small furry friend). I do Workaway since October 2020 and I like to gain a lot more experience!

ABOUT US:
I (Kristina) have done a Workaway in an Animal Sanctuary in Thailand before I decided to quit my job as a graphic designer/art director in an advertising agency to travel for a long time and do different Workaways. I’m always happy to help with my professional skills (like: Photography, Videography, Content creation for Social Media and Websites) if it helps a beautiful project or for a animal rescue place! 😊💛 I enjoy the work on land, like landscaping, planting vegetables and taking care of the field. Working with rescue animals always brings me joy and is my great passion besides working on eco/self sustainable projects. But I also like to cook vegan food and I’m really interested in creative and art projects as I’m a creative person. 👩🏻🌾🌱🐶🐱🐷🎨
I have a big interest in ayurveda and love to learn more about it. A place where we can practice yoga and meditate together is always lovely and I'm glad to share my time with souls who live also a very mindful life. ✨️
I like to connect with open-minded people and exchange life experiences and different views, but also enjoy time alone (which I need for my soul), long walks with Tate and I like to be in nature and offgrid.
Tate (4y, male) is a very well behaved independent companion. All our previous hosts had their own dogs and/or cats and it was never a problem. Even at the animal rescues where I worked, it was pretty easy with him. He is good with every other animal! He loves to chill with chicken and ducks, tires to become friends with all cats he meet and is good with sheeps, goats, horses and pigs. 🐶😉
Tate is so easy going so I had even the chance to do some workaways in Hotels and take him with me. He was so quite and lovely all the time. 🥺🥲

HOW WE TRAVEL:
We travel without own car (I have a licence), but that was never a problem because we have no problem with walking long ways as our previous workaways have always been very rural. 🎒🥾🥾🐾🐾
_______________________________
ACCOMMODATION:
At the moment we always need a accommodation, can be a simple tent for a short time (I'm easy going and not picky), we enjoy to live in caravans the most! But a accommodation where Tate can spend some time alone, save from too hot & too cold weather while I work, is ideal.
