Description
Hi, I'm Caroline from Germany and I'm planning a trip to Canada in February. I love the workaway experience of becoming a temporary part of a family or local community and learning new perspectives and skills.
Back in 2014 I did my first workaway trip in British Columbia and had an amazing time there. In 2022 I returned to visit all my previous hosts, which was of course fun. This time I would like to experience the Canadian winter and also explore a bit more the Eastern part of Canada (I've only spent a couple of days in Montreal so far).
Back home, I work in fisheries management (actually inspired by one of my workaway places), which is interesting but mostly office-based. So in my free time, I love to get out of doors or do something practical.
I really like working alongside someone but of course I can also do jobs independently. I think I'm a responsible, hands on person and easy to get along with. I'm looking forward to get to know you and to help with your projects!

More details about your skills
My previous workaways were mostly farmstays where I did a variety of things including gardening, animal care, painting. My highlight was probably when we built a little house to sell the farm's flowers in.
At home, I helped some friends to renovate an old house so I learned a little bit more about constructing. I'm also volunteering at a search and rescue group where the training includes all kinds of tools and machinery. I also enjoy gardening at my parents' place and am trying to grow some veggies there, with mixed results...
And I am always keen to learn more and improve my skills!
