Travelling
My next destination:
Greece - from Feb 2024 until Jul 2024 View allDescription
Hi, my name is Anna-Lilli.
I'm currently 28 years old, german, and have started travel in February, which has taken me to Greece and hopefully up through the balkans throughout spring and summer.
Up to this point i have completed an apprenticeship/practical training in bio-dynamic farming and gardening (4 years untill 2021) and since then gained some work experience on various farms around Germany and Greece, with a focus on organic vegetable farming along with seedbreeding and taking care of lifestock, such as laying hens, horses, sheep, goats, a little bit with dairy cows as well. For a while i also worked with draft horses which is something I'd like to get into again.
A strong interest for me is in creative and sustainable ways to grow vegetables and fruit and finding ways to use agriculture to build and maintain healthy ecosystems.
I am looking for new inspiration and practical knowledge, as i have found myself a little bit stuck in my learned ways.
Aside from that I hope to expand my knowledge and skill on neighboring fields like cooking, preserving, bread-baking, cheese-making etc...
But basically i just really enjoy the straight forward work with my hands, in connection with nature, in good company, doing something that in the bigger picture gives optimism for the future. ;)
I love music and singing, and hope to learn and play more instruments in the future. I have also collected a repertoire of traditional and modern folklore-dance that I like to share with people and also expand it.
My native language is German, I am fluent in English, i studied French in school, its rusty but i would love to practice and speak it. At the moment I am trying to learn greek.
I believe, in sharing other peoples walks of life for a time there is so much to learn on so many levels beyond the actual work, different routines, lifehacks, conversations, challenges.... For that I am very happy to lend my hands to share the work.
Best wishes to everyone!

At first I wasn't sure if I would stay the whole time but then I settled in soon and to stay was the best decision I could have made. I feel like during my stay I have grown and learned a lot about myself as well as about horses and the general farm work.
