More details about your skills

I helped my dad with his house and got great experiences at working in the nature and outside :)
I also did 4 workaways til now (2x Argentina, 1x Tonga, 1x Papua New Guinea) and learned a lot about living life in a different way than most people do. On Couchsurfing I´m also active and I´ve already met so many people around the world so I´m kinda used to get into different cultures and stay with "strangers" (I prefer to call them adventurer or traveller)

Since three years I do a lot of wildlife photography in my freetime and it´s the best hobby I could imagine, so I´m not doing it professional :)

I had such an amazing time at the ranch. Sylvaine and the whole team are such lovely people and I felt super comfortable right away. Everyone is easygoing and the communication was pretty easy since the beginning.
Since I could do the required work of getting firewood ready for the winter all by myself it allowed me to be flexible with my … read more

Ben was such an awesome addition to our team! He brought great energy, worked super hard, and was just a really fun and kind person to have around. He’s very independent and organized. He planned his days around what needed to be done and always followed through. And on top of that, he’s an amazing wildlife photographer! We loved having him here … read more

I had a great time staying with Michela, Leo and the rest of the family. I really enjoyed being outside the whole day and not thinking about anything that would happen online. Making fire in my hut every evening so I'd have it warm and cozy during the night was probably my favorite every day challenge haha

Thank you for all your help, Ben did everything we asked, was quiet and respectful. Always asked for permission and always helped out with work. He is independent and loves nature. He was on time and adaptable to changes in plans.

I had a wonderful time in lp. I stayed with Benjamin while being an exchange student at Dalhousie University so it was not like a normal Workaway in the beginning. It was for both of us the first time with such a situation but in the end it worked great!
Benjamin and all of his friends are so nice people and make you feel home instantly, also the … read more

Thank you, Ben, for your comment. Ben has been here for three weeks. He is easy-going and flexible, which makes him get along with everyone. We had a lot of fun with him, and he was a great help with the maintenance, cleaning, and cutting the property/habitat. :)

It was a great stay I had last year in summer! They have a wonderful community and they really try to help you with anything. All of them are so good people so if you get the chance to stay with them I'd highly recommend to do so! :)

it was a really nice experience to stay on your farm and to help and work with you. I've learned a lot of new things and it was good to calm down and back to earth for one week :)
in the beginning I had to work definitely more than 5h per day (8h) but than when Anna and Mainque arrived it was like normal on Workaway 5h per day.
