Description
Hi, nice to meet you :)
My name is Veronika, I'm a 23-year-old German communications graduate who loves travelling, sports, arts and animals, especially horses and dogs (I have to admit I am biased, as I grew up with them, make sure to check out my photos for some cuteness). I had the chance to meet many amazing people through Workaway before (2019/2020) and I am looking forward to adding to that list. Experiencing a country and its culture first-hand this way is very special to me and I am still in touch with some of the friends I made as a Workawayer five years ago.
Other than travelling, I like getting creative, going on adventures in nature, and doing sports (Yoga, dancing, climbing, swimming, horse-back-riding, just to name a few). It is also important to me to give back to society, so I volunteered for different organizations in the past. Two months ago I have started volunteering for Life Initiative, advising people with low income who struggle with German bureaucracy.

More details about your skills
As a person with many different interests, I acquired a variety of skills and I am always eager to learn more. During my previous Workaway stays 2019/2020 I mostly helped out on farms, gardening, general maintenance and taking care of animals (mostly dogs and horses, as I trained some myself growing up with them - and animals just have a special place in my heart).
Other things I can help you with are cooking or baking, simple craftsmanship (I know how to use a range of smaller tools), teaching and looking after children, cleaning and painting.
Creative work is a big part of my life, even more so since I started my communications degree and completing various related internships. I scripted and directed a short-movie, learnt video-editing, managed a NGO's social media accounts, and wrote for a local newspaper. Most recently I worked with exchange students at my university, which included preparing a lot of presentations, and teaching a seminar on writing in an academic context. Being a rather well-organized person definitely helped me with that one. Furthermore I like writing stories, drawing, and photography.

What else ...
I like Workaway because it is a possibility to stay with and to get to know other people so I'm always open for a nice chat or to do something together.
Eating nutritious, delicious and healthy meals is very important to me, so I won't survive on canned food only. If you can't provide anything else, please let me know in advance. Maybe we can find a solution together :)

If there had been a way then I definitely would have stayed longer than only a week. The family is so welcoming and generous and the girls are lovely. I enjoyed every minute, also the painting jobs. I can totally recommend to stay with Phil, Margaret, Eleanor and Genevieve. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed having Veronika stay with us for a week - very hard working (and self managing) - we took advantage of a few days of sunshine, scrapped the planned work and painted the house instead. Great attention to detail, fantastic job. This led to painting one of our daughter's bedrooms, again, a fantastic job done. She fitted in… read more

We were impressed with Veronika's maturity and enjoyed her company. She has a lovely way with animals and is a competent horse rider. She's positive, intelligent and a pleasure to host.

Tony and Mandy are fabulous hosts and I had a great time with them. They are generous and welcoming and they showed me different (very beautiful) places in the area and Mandy took me riding every day with her lovely horses. I can definitely recommend them.

Veronika is a willing and cheerful young person. She's very easy going, happy to amuse herself or take part in activities with friends and family. She took on painting, housework, gardening and car washing chores as her part of the household routine. The Covid-19 lockdown meant she was trapped with me for over two months but took it all in her… read more

The most important thing first: Yes, I can recommend Karlum as a host. She’s not only funny and very generous but also welcoming and one of the best slaveholders I know. I’m so grateful that she let me stay during lockdown in New Zealand (for over two months because I couldn’t get a flight back home). And still she took me to different places in… read more

Veronika was a real pleasure to host. She fitted in with our way of life absolutely easily and anything we asked her to do was done cheerfully and well. Veronika is very likeable, quick to learn and often saw what needed to be done and did it without being asked. Her English is excellent.
We would recommend her to any hosts who are looking for a… read more

My time with Eve, Bill, Matthew, Flossy and Lily was wonderful. They're all very welcoming and generous and the food is sooooo good. I can definitely recommend this family. The tasks were interesting like making our own tomato sauce which turned out really delicious. Thank you for amazing three weeks!

My stay with Alistair and Carolin was just great! They're so friendly and welcoming. They took me to the beach and to Whangarei's Saturday market. Their project is really interesting and there are a lot of different things to do. And Carolin is a great cook ;)

I had two amazing weeks with Aaron and Samantha. He took us to all his favorite spots in Seattle and to Port Townsend. The atmosphere was always relaxed and I felt very welcome, so I can just recommend this host although he won't be in Seattle much longer.

The time with Michelle, Lauren and Luke was just great. The farm is very beautiful and Luke's a great cook. My first 'real' Halloween and the gaming nights were so much fun. Going for a walk with Michelle was always very inspiring. The horses and cats were great company.

I really enjoied the stay with Val and her family. The trail rides were always fun and they would also help me with my problems, especially Val. Thanks to Reg and Gammy, too, who took me fishing with them. Not to forget Thanksgiving, which I hadn't celebrated before, so it was a very special experience to me, thank you so much.
