Description
Hi! I'm Cora, and I'm travelling for learning, to discover new cultures, traditions and ways of living, and to find my way and purpose in life.
I'm a quiet person, peaceful, shy, creative and tidy; I have lots of patience and perseverance, and though Im not very talkative I like to learn and hear new ideas and points of view. I love to work with animals and plants and to do things with my hands, and I'm looking forward to learn more about self sustainable and nature friendly lifestyles,
horticulture,medicinal plants, ecological building, manufacture of ceramic pottery and soap... I'm also interested in Celtic heritage and healthy cooking.
I have been doing volunteering for more than three years, and it has been a great experience so far. Within this volunteer experience I've done things like farming (taking care of diverse animals like goats, hens, sheep, horses, ducks); horse communication; making diverse crafts with wood and branches, like doors and fences; gardening, weeding, potting and growing seeds on a polytunnel; harvesting and packing veggies and fruits; medicinal herbal infusion making; some construction work like putting insolation pannels, covering a wall with clay, restoring an old stone wall, sanding and painting; also some hostel work, clearing and organising sheds..

Fond of medieval times, fantasy, celtic heritage and sword mastery; I used to do medieval sword fighting. I love mythology, mysticism and legends. I like being close to nature and having some time for myself; however I also enjoy spending the evening with more people and share experiences. I love music, specially celtic/ irish/ folk/ medieval; I play violin, drums and a bit flute and guitar, but I'm very keen about learning to play new instruments like harp, hurdy gurdy or aulos.

I really enjoyed my stay with Kris, he's a great soul!
Even before going there he wanted to make sure that I had enough information about the place and tasks etc, to give me an accurate picture of his place. He's always checking the you are happy with the work and confident with the tasks, and if possible will make sure that you see the jobs… read more

Thanks so much Cora for coming and helping out here!
It was a real joy to host Cora, it was the perfect balance in every way. She worked conscientiously and independently in all the work that needed done, and was very patient when I tried my beginner's Spanish! We found plenty of time to get to know each other, but she was also was also keen to… read more

Catrina, Gordon and Chiara are a very welcoming and caring family. They made sure I felt comfortable and bought lots of vegan food to make sure I was well feed! I had lovely walks with their 3 lovely and crazy spaniels, the area is so nice and surrounded by beautiful walks, and the room I stayed in was so big and bright. Thank you a lot, wish you… read more

Una familia muy especial, fui para una semana y me quedé casi 2 meses. Con ellos me he sentido como en casa, el lugar es precioso y tanto la borda como la cabañita donde dormí son adorables y acogedoras, con un montón de detalles. Siempre se respira tranquilidad y por la noche se ve hasta la vía Láctea, por no hablar de los sitios maravillosos que… read more

I stayed about 3 weeks with Marian and Simon, which I enjoyed a lot! They are really welcoming and nice people, always making you feel good and comfortable. It's a beautiful area, 5 minutes to the beach, cliffs, nice forest walking and also the Cornish coastal path just around the corner. I helped them with the garden and also did some painting,… read more

We really enjoyed having Cora stay with us. She was easy to live with and her English is very good. She helped in the garden and did some painting and decorating in the house. Thanks to her we made a lot of progress on some challenging jobs. Cora doesn't like the sun or heat but otherwise was flexible about what she did. I loved her appreciation… read more

This family is amazing. The girls are soo lovely and creative, and they like very much to be outside in nature. The house where you stay is very cozy and comfortable, heated by a wood kitchen. The surroundings are incredible, there is a lake and a forest nearby, and the work is fun and nice. They are very flexible and open minded, I spent a great… read more

Very good! I stayed one week with Phil and Helen; they are very welcoming and dinamic people, they let you in as part of the family. The working hours are fair and the work is mostly phisical, though there can be some excepcions. They live in beautiful countryside and there is a spare bike for exploring the area, and they have a very old and magic… read more

We had such a nice stay with Jurgen and Blanka! They are very nice people, very polite and friendly. They always make sure that you have everything you need and they encourage you to borrow a bike and go to see things around the zone. Their pension is surrounded by forest and nature, and the river Elbe is 10 minutes away; the only problem were the… read more

" Cora stayed with us for one and half month, the longest so far at us and we miss her.

At the beginning we thought that Cora locked in her comfort zone and she took her time for things. But day by day we get her know better and deeper. At the end of her stay, we loved her company and it was very difficult for us to let her go. Cora learned well… read more

I stayed with this family for one and a half month. I don't think I can put in words what is on my heart, Im not very good at expressing myself so what I will write here is not even the half of what I would like to say. But I try.

They are very open minded, very friendly and they like to spend time with workawayers and share experiences and… read more stories. They are very close together and have a lot of love and knowledge to share. From the first day they treat you as a part of the family and always make sure that you feel good there. And the place has such a good energy and high vibrations! The whole area is magical, surrounded by nature, with several rivers and lakes nearby and of course the black forest. The sky at night is amazing, with lots of stars, strangely beautiful moon and clouds and misty mountains in the evenings and mornings. And if there is a storm the colour and the feeling of the air changes and gets very mistical and magic. I felt like being on Rivendel or another similar place hidden and far from the world.

Johannes always finds the right job for you; he always managed to give me tasks out of the sun as I can't spend many time in the sunshine. He is fear with the jobs and the time, never will make you work more than the agreed hours per day and always will make sure that you feel comfortable doing your asigned task. He always has your opinion in mind and is open to suggestions and different ways to doing things; and of course never will give you a job that he wouldnt do by himself. Actually, he is really a hard worker man, he never stops doing things!
Fei is a great chef, her chinese meals are really delicious and she likes to experiment and try new dishes, which are always even more delicious. Most of the vegetables are from their own huge veg garden, I never ate so much salad in my life (but I enjoyed it very much).
And I was a bit scared when I read they have 2 children, but Laura is the sweetest baby in the world -she would always give me her milk bottle or spread it all over my clothes, I will miss that- and Sophia has her own strong personality, she says hello to you minimum 10 times per day :)
The family grows bigger with all the animals: lovely cat, chickens, hens, most friendly and big cock I've ever met, and funny ducks. Taking care of the baby ducks was very nice and cute experience, it felt so good when they looked stronger and healthier each day.

In my free time I enjoyed playing music, going by bike, exploring the area and being surrounded by nature all the time. And of course good company and some nights stories and music around the fire. At the end I felt like part of the family, and the work didnt seem like work at all, but more like a help and an exchange in a community in which everyone helps the other.
I felt a bit sad when I left, but I know it won't be the last time we will meet. I hope to see a great progress in the project and in the house next time I visit! Thank you family, for sharing so much. I will miss you!

I had such a nice experience here! They all have so much energy and such a positive vibration, everything flows with them.

Cora the Creative. Give her any sewing or painting project and she will give you back a work of art. During her short stay here, Cora made a felt Yoda, Chewbacca and Millennium Falcon, did all our mending, and painted more than 20 stones for my summer solstice yoga workshop with intricate sun designs.
