Description
We are Nicolas and Leonie, a franco-german couple travelling the world together (mostly) by hitchhiking. Workaway is for us an amazing tool to discover new ways of life, new people and new skills.
We consider ourselves open minded and very curious about alternative ways of life.
We are flexible, spontaneous and easygoing, we can adapt to a lot of situations. We are happy with the minimum of comfort, we also have a tent and a cooker if needed.
We are planning to travel for a long period of time, hopping from place to place, discovering beautiful landscapes and meeting incredible people. We are interested in a lot of things, some of which are cooking (mostly vegan stuff), living off grid, permaculture, tiny houses, botanic, mycology, sports, taking care of animals and humans. We would love to discover the culture of the country we are visiting more than anything else.
We hope to see you soon ! 👋

Leonie and Nicolas were great cat caretakers; having such kind and gentle people around was a pleasure. I knew the cats were in good hands with them for feeding and cuddles, but they also cared for Fireball when he injured one of his front paws and required antibiotics. This is a level up from basic care, and I was very happy with how they handled… read more

We look back to a nearly one month stay in the tiny house on Vis Island in December and remember the great time we had. The island is beautiful even in winter and we enjoyed to stay on the island in off-season without the tourist rush.

I had wonderful 2 weeks with this funny and vivid family in Langlade and I feel like it was too short. Eric and Aurélie are very busy but they've always had an open ear and they care a lot for the wellbeing of the Workaways. Right from the beginning I felt welcomed and invited to be part of the family. I very liked the combination of gardening… read more

I spend nearly two weeks in Olmedo and it was amazing! Alice offered me to come very spontaneously the same day I sent her a message even though she was very busy, I was so grateful! The house and refugio are located in a peaceful small village where you can find a supermarket and train station. All the family is super nice, they took me nearly as… read more

Leonie helped us a lot on the farm. She was very good, full of positive energy, had a high work ethic and interacted very pleasantly and productively with the other workers. We hope to host her again soon and highly recommend her to other hosts.

I stayed at the Farm for about 9 days and I enjoyed it! I arrived in the late evening and in the morgen I was impressed by the sun and beautiful view over the hills and nature around. Luigi and Lena, the owners are very kind and hospitable people. The work was fun with good company and I also fell in love with the two collies which really… read more

Me and a friend stayed just for a few days. It was very spontaneous decision to come but a great experience, unfortunately too short! I enjoyed cooking and eating together, painting, craft works and doing yoga. All have been very welcoming, funny and generous. I hope to come back to stay for a longer time in this magical place between mountains… read more

Even though it was just one week it felt like a relief to stay at Marijeanne's and help in her garden. It was a place of escaping the noise and crowds of cities. I remember the lucky cackling of the hens and lovely dog Fred following me through the garden. Marijeanne was welcoming, always caring and generous as she offered us to stay at her… read more

I spent great five weeks at Anke's place in Limsdorf.
Anke shares her home with everyone who wants to help, puts a lot of trust in you and due to her openness I felt at home very quickly.
I needed some days to adapt to the daily procedure, but once I did, the work made fun. In between I had less or more time to use for myself or to just cuddle… read more

There are those people to whom you have to explain everything forever and repeatedly. And there is Leonie. She sees the work. She wants to do it. Finds out how to do it. And makes it easy. Super reliable. Totally hardworking and absolutely committed. Leonie is a gentle soul. All the sheep rushed to her and wanted to be cuddled by her.… read more

We perceived Leonie as a friendly, interested and independent person who helped with all the tasks that came up during our roof month: Be it construction, cooking, childcare - she always found a good way to handle the work. Thanks a lot for your time and pleasant being and lots of good experiences for you in the future!

I had a great time during my stay in Wurzen! It was a cool opportunity for catching a glimpse of the life inside a community and see how the daily life can be organized.
It is a great place for learning about sustainability, saving of food and many other ressources we are using.
You get open space to decide oneself which and how much work to do.… read more
