Description
Hi, I'm Caroline from Germany and I'm planning a trip to Canada from August to the beginning of September. And I really like the workaway experience of becoming a temporary part of a family or local community and learning new 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 summer I can take a long vacation again and would like to explore a bit more of the Eastern part of Canada this time (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. The workaway tasks which I enjoyed most included building, gardening, planting etc.
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 project!

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 renovate an old house so I learned a little bit more about constructing even though what we could do ourselves was mostly to tear down the old structures... :) 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...
So I would say my experience in the fields I'm interested in is only superficial. But I am always keen to learn more and improve my skills!!

A few years ago I started to eat vegetarian/mostly vegan. But I try to be very flexible about this when around other people...
