Description
Hello :)
I am Stefan, 41 years old from Germany and on a big world trip. I have no end data for my traveling.
Before this trip, I worked in the big zoo in Munich as a technical director, responsible for the maintanance, construction projects, safety of the animals, visitors and employees and collaboration with our vets, curators, zookeepers, gardeners and area management.
I am open for every work, espacially working with national parks, zoos, animals, farmers, housekeeping or small repairs. But also other works are very welcome.
For me the most important thing is that both sides feel comfortable and benefit from the cooperation.
I work online, so Wifi is important for me. But with my work I am very flexible and your work has priority for me.
Hope to hear from you!
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Stefan 🌺

After the summer there was a lot of overdue garden maintenance and fortunately Stefan came for 4 weeks. No effort was too much for him, even when the weather was not optimal, so that by the time he left, all the backlog had been cleared. Besides the hours he helped me, he had his own pursuits, so we could give each other space. Over lunch, we had… read more

I spent three weeks with Helena. I felt welcome at all times. Her two dogs and the cat are very cuddly. I have taken Helena and the pets to my heart. Helena's cooking skills are amazing and I love her curries. In the garden I was able to learn a lot about figs, olives and how to trim the bushes. Thank you for the great time and I hope to see you… read more

I stayed four weeks at Katys place and it was amazing. It is a lovely family and the nights in the van I will never forget. I felt so welcome and enjoyed every moment. Her mom cooks delicious food and I missed nothing. Hope to come back one day to my portuguese family and the beautiful and calm area. Thank you so much.

Stefan , stayed with me for a few nights. He was a pleasure to have and was no trouble. He was respectful of all in the house, ie people and pets and the house itself. I found him sociable, chatty and willing to work and help around the house.

Stephen is one of the kindest person I have met on my world trip. He showed me some local places and I was allowed to go with him to a church. His three dogs are so lovely and he did everything, to feel me like home. Thank you for the time and hope to see you again one day.
