Description
hi there ! :)

we’re claire and tom, a french couple who met a few months ago in the lovely city of toulouse (france)
since then, we’ve been sharing countless coffees, walks in beautiful parks, visits to museums… and of course, books and movies !!

claire studied literature, art history and archaeology, and tom studied spanish, cinema, arts and communication — so yes, we’re both total bookworms and movie lovers (always open to recommendations!!!)
we can spend hours wandering around a bookshop or getting lost in a good film

right now, we’re on a six-month tour across eastern europe, exploring cities, nature, and all the hidden gems we can find along the way.

we’re curious, easy-going, and always ready to jump into new experiences
we love being outdoors, exploring nature, and diving into cultural experiences — especially when they spark long, philosophical conversations about life, art, and everything in between.

we’re all about kindness, equality, and standing up for what’s right — and we feel at our best when surrounded by open-minded and inclusive people :)

Left by Workawayer () for host (Vegan sanctuary welcomes ...)

we stayed two weeks in september at annette’s place and it was such a rich and memorable experience !

our daily tasks included cleaning the stables, feeding all the animals, taking care of the sheep, bringing them to the pasture every day, and preparing food for later use.
we also had some occasional missions like building a new enclosure,… read more picking fruits and nuts, sorting them, and looking after the compost.

at first, it can look a bit challenging if, like us, you have no real farm experience, but everything can be learned with time, communication, and a bit of effort :)
don’t be afraid to make small mistakes or to ask (and re-ask!) annette if something isn’t clear.
she’s always kind and understanding, and it’s better to ask than to cause a little farm disaster, haha !
it’s important to understand that nothing on a farm happens automatically, you work with animals who each have their own personality !
sometimes the schedule changes unexpectedly, but nothing is unmanageable if you stay calm and patient with them :)

we were very well accommodated, with our own space, and the bathroom and toilets were easily accessible.
everyone there is very respectful, which made daily life really pleasant.
the meals were homemade and vegan.
every day we had a different, delicious dish made with ingredients straight from the garden. and what a pleasure to eat something that you just picked a few minutes ago from the garden !

we also got to share our days with annette’s daughter and brother, who are both lovely people and great company
klauspeter brought such good vibes to the house with his music choices : as classical music fans, it was amazing to end a workday with such a beautiful atmosphere !!!

we absolutely loved getting to know each of the animals (even the geese, haha ! sending love to herbert and his girls), and spending quiet moments with them.
sitting with the chickens and cuddling the sheep were truly the best rewards after a day of work :)

thank you so much, annette, for your kindness, your patience, and for welcoming us into your home.
your project is truly beautiful and admirable, full of meaning, kindness, and dedication.
we wish you, your family, and all the animals the very best for the future, and it will be such a pleasure to come back to germany someday to see everyone again ! <3

(Excellent)
