Description
Hi there! I’m Carolin and my friends would probably describe me as an enthusiastic, positive thinking and energetic person. Since I was a little girl I always had the urge within me to go out and explore, which I do without hesitating to step out of my comfort zone. I'm imaginative, open-minded and always up for adventures/ learning new skills and therefore I'm eager to always give everything I got.

I want to use Workaway not only as an opportunity to travel, but mainly because I would love to learn about new things, cultures, lifestyles and anything this beautiful world has to offer. I got to know really inspiring people during all my travels that became life long friends. Also my heart really beats for every kind of animal and also for all the fascinating sites of art. And yeah, I take my sketchbook seriously anywhere with me :D

I'm currently studying Graphic Design in my sixth semester which really challenges my creativity. Which I love! And as I already said, I also absolutely love animals, especially horses. I’m with horses since I can think but I’m also used to help in a cow barn, with chickens, alpacas, donkeys, cats, dogs... – so, I would love to help you with any kind of farm work you have to do. In the past couple years I’ve worked as waitress in a restaurant, at market festivals, as a shepherd in Switzerland, with rescue dogs in Bulgaria, at a horse breeding farm with training/taking care of horses, worked as a social media manager for an NGO, youth blogger for youth hostels in Germany, learned how to make ice cream from scratch, worked with sled dogs in Norway, harvested fruits in the Caribbean, cooked meals for a whole bunch of people, living 3 months in a community of 30 people in Tenerife and worked at local music festivals. So yeah I’m really open to any kind of work and would love to try different things! Hope we'll meet in our adventures of life, Greetings Carolin

More details about your skills
I have the facility to do many things and I focus on learning what I do not know. During the last years and my travels I got experience in farm work, horse riding, cooking, barkeeping, gardening, art projects, social media marketing and carpentry. Also I love to build and craft things: at one of my last hosts I build shelfes, a house for a sheep, fences and other wooden things. I also got to show some of my art work in an exhibition. I’m currently studying Graphic Design which combines a lot of my passions like painting, photography, architecture, editing videos, illustration, contend creating and visual communication. Next to my studies I'm working as a content designer for an e-learning App which not only challenges my ability to work in a great team but also to design illustrations to visualize learning topics for students. Music is also a big part of my life. I love to play the ukulele, little bit guitar and the piano. In summer I also often worked with kids at a vacation camp and as travel blogger for youth hostels in Germany (I believe I have a good attention for details, especially in social media things and postings). Let me know how I can help you- I'm more than ready to do my very best, keep learning new things, while improve my skills and myself.

For the contest "best volunteer of the year 2023" the winner is: Carolin!! Of course!!
We had such an amazing time togheter I should write a book to mention what this girl is able to do. Just to mention a few: weeding, preparing the soil, watering, harvesting vegetables, picking fruit, drying fruit, preparing jams, Apple cider vinegar, painting,… read more

Working at Andreas' Huskiefarm thaught me a hell of a lot- but most of all about unconditional love for the animals. You need to take everything that you have and drive it into the ground. During my stay we had a lot of bookings for tourist trails and I had to take a lot of responsibility from the first day on. I learned how to drive a sled, build… read more

Honestly there’s nothing I can say that could ever do justice to how amazing this place, this community and the whole project is. I stayed at the Finca for around 3 months and if I could I’d fly back in a heartbeat. Stumbling from my exams at Uni into the plane and landed right were I needed to be. A rustic, off grid place in the wind and dust but… read more

Royan is one of the most generous people we’ve ever met. We stayed almost a month with him in Grenada and we totally fell in love with the Caribbean scenery. He took us around on beaches, hikes and we really enjoyed cooking with him and he also taught us a lot about Caribbean food. Gonna miss all those delicious dishes, the horses, the cuddles… read more

Such a pleasure to host Carolin and Maria. They make a great team as well as working indepently. They both have been blessed with many gifts different from each other thinking this is what makes them work so well together. We really enjoyed meals with them and just having them in the house was a blessing. It is so nice to have new energy in the… read more

There are no words that would describe how much we appreciated staying with Susan and Geoffrey. They made us feel the most welcome and we had the loveliest time just enjoying their company (+Africas of course). Either we were just biking through the neighborhood, climbed a couple peaks or had amazing conversations at the dinner table- there’s… read more

Carolin and Maria are two of the most fantastic people I have ever met. Both of them are smart, funny, and hardworking. From the most they arrived I knew that they would be excellent guests. They are organized, clean, and easy to communicate with. They took initiative and started working upon arrival and used every opportunity to be helpful.… read more

We can’t help but smile when we look back to our stay with Merrilyn and Bruce. The 1 1/2 month we spent on the ranch were one of the best experience of our travels and for that we’re truly grateful. There is no day that went by without laughters at the dinner table, most amazing cuddles with the dogs/cats or anything fun to do. Together with the… read more

Carolin (and her travel buddy Maria) were very hard workers, particularly with outdoor projects and child care. They cleared more brush than almost any other workawayers we have had in the last couple of years. They took good care of our animals. They got into the child care so much that they even spent a lot of their free time with our kids,… read more

Where should we begin? The past month that we spent with the 4 of you and the memories we’ve made in Nova Scotia will probably always bring up a smile on our faces. Thank you so much for all the amazing food, the best 19th ‚cake day’ ever, and for all the country songs that are now stuck in our heads! We had the best time playing with play dough,… read more

What can I say? The time that I spent in Bulgaria is so unforgettable and our memories always bring up a smile on my face. Joerg has such a nice way to work with the horses and with all animals on the farm. He takes care of everything and he loves ice cream probably more than I do...(and that’s nearly impossible haha). Kerstin is also a great… read more
