Description
I’m Clara (25) and have been on workaway for quite a few years. I really enjoyed all my past experiences and all the people I've met through this platform. Happy to gain even more and connect with you!
Growing up in the country side of northern Germany I have had to help my family with house and garden work all my life. For some people living in a rural area might seem boring, for my part I learned to enjoy creating, building and maintaining stuff as well as having my own animals to take care of. This also includes being part of a small community where one helps another.
Ever since I finished high school, I did
- Volunteer in the U.S. by supporting young adults with special needs
- Studied and graduated as a teacher for English and Geography at the baltic sea.
- Spent a semester at the University of Hanoi, Vietnam and did internships teaching English at two different schools.
Workaway and other things I've done:
-My first Workaway took me to Swedish Lapland for woodwork, maintenance and running an Airbnb in the Arctic Circle.
- In Indonesia I've been at a durian farm and a permaculture garden, where I got hands-on experience in sustainable farming.
- In the Philippines I helped at a restaurant, preparing ingredients, serving customers and different chores that needed to be done.
- In Germany I also worked in a warehouse, did bartending and been service staff at different local festivals.
- Traveling through all of Australia I did stuff like pruning olive trees, garden work, bush care up in Darwin, mulching and general house maintenance.
I know my way around most tools, but always eager to learn more.
I'd love to gain more experience and skills - and along the way meet more people from all different backgrounds and cultures.
Always happy to learn something new and help wherever needed!

Hi, I’m Pauli (24) – the good friend Clara briefly mentioned above :)
I’m originally from near Berlin and moved to Greifswald to study, where I was lucky enough to meet Clara. I graduated this year and am now looking forward to exploring a bit more of the world before starting my career teaching German and Geography in February 2027.
I started working while I was still in school, which gave me the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of jobs. I’ve worked in restaurants and cafés, helped plan and organize weddings, and, alongside my studies, worked in an archive, tutored younger students, and assisted in the German Language Education department at my university. I enjoy learning new things, taking on new challenges, and expanding my skills whenever I can.
I don’t eat animal products, but I’m very easygoing when it comes to food and am always happy with simple side dishes. As long as I can start my day with a cup of coffee, I’m happy! In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time with my cat, playing board games with friends, and exploring nature.
I’m excited to discover new places, meet new people, and create wonderful memories through Workaway! -
