Description
Hi!

I love being in outdoors and making lifes daily tasks and challenges into little adventures. Creating, exploring, sharing and celebrating life together is what it's about for me...

I feel most greatful, connected and grounded close to nature. If I get a chance to be there and use my hands and heart to put to good use I am happy. From time to time having moments to share that with others can be the peaking beauty of life.

At the moment I live in a tiny treehouse on a big forest land, which is shared with two lovely humans and a dog. The land is on a mountainside of a wild valley in south Switzerland. I am about to start a projekt as a nature guide and also spend my days building things and gardening on the land (sometimes we host workawayers aswell...).

I like to spend time and work in a friendly environment with people who have the best intentions for one another to flourish and therefore are considerate, open-minded, honest and straight forward. Shallowness is not my thing, I want to know what moves you, but at the same time I like to take things with a sense of humour... If that is the case with you too, I am curious to find out if we match otherwise aswell... :)

Bjorn (also known as "Fish" here) is a very interesting guy with his mind focused in learning as much permaculture as possible. Still, he enjoyed the camps so much that he came back!
He is very polite and good to have around and very easy going. We definitely loved having him with us and will welcome him anytime in the future (hopefully, in our… read more

I had a wonderful time here with the family. I learned so much from Stef about gardening, permaculture, beekeeping, etc. and a lot about myself from the beautiful talks with Ulli. They both are very careing , great cooks and heartwarming inspiring company.

Be aware this is a family place where the rythm mostly flows with the needs of the kids. As… read more

With Bjorn we had a beautiful exchange on many different levels which made his presence on our farm most interesting and pleasant.
He is very thorough in every job you give him, always willing to help, independent, sensitive and attentive, and also magical with children.

we'd love to welcome him again some day!

Bjorn, a true man to his word. I had a great sense of ease working with him, as if we new each other for a long time, maybe a past life? He was always up to the tasks that I threw at him, willing to get the job done, even if that meant gathering mussels in the middle of a stormy night! What I really loved about him is his passion to gain knowledge… read more

staying with tom at his lovely place was a life changing experience. you will eat better and healthier than you've ever eaten before, learn a lot of new skills and get inspired as much as you like.

Bjorn and Andrea are great people to be around and willing to take on all jobs. They are both great listeners and learners. If you get the chance to host these two, do it!!

What a beautiful environment! Our workaway experience was truly inspiring for us. In exchange for some basic meal cooking, helping with landscaping, carpentry and some fun tasks, we had the chance to explore Salt Spring Island and Joes place for two weeks. He was a great host, always in for some fun, good conversations and showing us new skills.… read more

This couple were so amazing! They are extremely hard workers and did the work without being asked! They went above and beyond! They were an integral part of this seasons success! They mingled with guests, cooked meals and were truly a part of the family! I hope they will come back to help me again!

We have just left Seward a few days ago and already miss Heather and the place a lot!

This was our first workaway experience and it could have not been better. Heather, the owner has a big heart and will do everything so that you feel comfortable. She was very helpful in what to do around Seward and organizing trips for us such as kayaking,… read more
