Description

Hello,
I’m Dagmar, 25 years young and born in the Netherlands. In 2018 I finished my study as a Social care worker. I worked in a kindergarden and a social farm with children with special needs. After my study I felt the need to learn about the world trough traveling. I did a lot of different jobs, internships and farm jobs. I have realized that being outside in the nature, working with people, plants and with nature it self, is the most valuable thing to me. Being outside gives me the right balance I need. When I travel trough workaway, I can taste a real part of the culture and the people from the country. And learn, help, see and experience everytime something new. I like to discover this so that eventually I can find the right place, where I can build my own farm/garden/home.

In 2020 I did an Organic Growing Ireland program (OGI), I learned how to build up a marked garden business, including a 7 month intership on a marked garden farm. In between I travaled to different countries. The last 2 years I got the opportunity to be the manager of an Organic Market garden in the high mountains in Norway. We grew 35 different kind of vegetables. Trough this experience I learned a lot in many different aspects. And it showed me that a job with big responsibility, is something I gain a lot of energy from. I have travelled in Europe, Asia and Scandinavia. I have experience in different things but mainly in organic farming (mainly with a no dig system and Rudolf steiner philosophy), child care taking, cheese making (hard and soft cheese) and a bit of tourism.

I grew up on an organic farm in Ireland (vegetables and sheep cheese) where my parents where Workaway host them self for many years. I enjoy working outside and in the garden the most but I’m really eager to learn new things! I like to help you in whatever way is possible. I also do really enjoy physical and creative work, so don't worry about that!
As I felt more and more that I needed some vitamine D after those norwegian seasons, I booked an one way ticket to South America :) Im very very eager to learn more about the south america ecosystems, the language, the farmings methods and climates here. Right now I'm working in a local restaurant with an organic garden on the caribbean island Curaçao, but from june/ july on I will go to the main land in Colombia and see where I will be brought to. I'm looking forward to help you.
