Description
Hi hello,
I'm Danielle and since November I started my journey as a WorkAwayer.
Recently I felt the urge to get out of my normal hustle & bustle and to take steps to get closer to nature and the world. I'm happy I finally have the opportunity to travel the world in a different way through WorkAway. I'm very interested to start explore and develop new experiences in gardening, permaculture, farming, animal care, sustainability, renovating projects etc. Hopefully this will bring me enough experience to start my own gardening/permaculture/farming adventure in the future.

I have a background in physiotherapy (bachelor, not working), health sciences (master) and recently worked in IT as an application developer. With my background and overall interests in health I might be of help with projects that involve health, exercising or computer/IT support.

Also, due to my love for animals (I grew up with cats, dogs and rabbits) and the environment I eat vegetarian but open to be flexible if vegetarian food is a limited option due to cultural reasons for example. Food and cooking is something I love and very interested in learning new things (my vegetarian kimchi is a big winner). Due to my family background I also know a good amount of Indonesian and Japanese (vegetarian) dishes.

What else? I travel with my camera, ready to record all my beautiful moments during my traveling. If I can be of help with some photography projects then you can count on me.

I stayed at Åshild place for only a week but it was a beautiful one. She is so kind, thoughtful and made me feel very appreciated. I helped with the vegetable garden and during the drum building retreat with the cooking and cleaning. So special to be part of that time and meeting many beautiful people. Thank you Åshild and I hope to be back one… read more

In June I volunteered for 4 weeks and even though we will see each other soon again with Urkult I wanted to take a moment to write a review to let others know what an amazing place you have. I learned a lot from all the work we did like gardening, building, renovating and making home made products like syrup and herb salts. I loved how you both… read more

I had a wonderful time volunteering with Inger and Marcel! I was amazed how organized and well kept the farm looked. They really give their everything to the farm which let me see how much effort goes in growing organic food. I spent two weeks there, helping with weeding, cleaning pots, and watering the plants during a heat wave. I'm grateful to… read more

Danielle stayed with us three weeks and we enjoyed every moment with her, especially during lunch while learning some Dutch words and comparing them to the German language. Together with Bella, another workaway that stayed with us for the same period, she helped us mainly in the wineyard and aso with many other task around the farm and the house.… read more

After having done a couple of other WorkAways, I can honestly say that this was the best one so far! I was amazed by how organized and thoughtful Giada and Carlo are in taking care of the WorkAwayers, from doing the weekly grocery shopping to arranging weekend pickups after trips. I was there with another WorkAwayer ‘Bella’ and I was glad we were… read more

I volunteered for four weeks, during which I got to do all kinds of work. I usually started my day by bringing the organic waste to the compost and feeding the chickens and roosters. After that, I worked either outside or in the farm building, depending on the weather which could be quite unpredictable, sometimes it felt like experiencing all four… read more

During December I was able to help for 4 weeks at Arts & Crafts village and it was amazing. I have respect how Toyomi-san manages everything in and around Arts & Craft village and still finds the time to make sure that I’m taking care of. She was very kind and considering, for example cooked vegetarian dishes for me, took me along to all kinds of… read more
