Travel information

I am currently

Description

What brings me happiness is a balanced and down-to-earth way of living. I feel most comfortable in places where daily life follows a natural rhythm and where work, rest and connection are in harmony.

I really enjoy hands-on work — being outdoors, working with soil, plants, animals or food, and taking part in everyday farm life. These activities help me feel grounded and connected, especially when I understand the intention behind what I’m doing.

Music and creative work are an important part of who I am and bring a lot of joy into my life. I love environments where creativity is welcome — whether through music, crafts, problem-solving or simply sharing ideas.

Shared meals, open conversations and a good sense of humor matter a lot to me. I value kindness, clear communication and mutual respect, and I believe that laughter and lightness make working and living together much more enjoyable.

More details about my language interests
I enjoy picking up new languages, especially the language of the country I’m currently living in, as it helps me connect more deeply with people and culture. It’s not my main focus, but something I appreciate as a natural part of being in a new place.

More details about your skills

I bring a combination of practical farm experience, reliability and a calm, attentive way of working. I’m comfortable with physical outdoor work and daily routines, and I enjoy taking responsibility while staying flexible and open.

I’m trained in biodynamic vegetable gardening and have hands-on experience with organic and biodynamic farming, soil work and permaculture-based approaches. I’ve also worked with animals and am familiar with daily care routines such as feeding, cleaning and general stable work. I’m used to working both independently and as part of a team.

Through different international experiences, I’ve learned to adapt easily to new environments and working styles. I value clear communication and like to understand the intention behind tasks so I can work carefully and thoughtfully rather than just quickly.

I also bring creative and practical skills, enjoy handcrafting and problem-solving, and approach work in a structured but flexible way. My background in music adds a creative element and often brings a positive, light atmosphere to shared spaces.

Overall, I’m a reliable, present and motivated Workawayer who enjoys contributing to meaningful projects and being part of a respectful and friendly exchange.

What else ...

In my free time, I enjoy simple outdoor activities like hiking, swimming and cycling, especially when I’m close to nature. I feel very connected to nature and value a conscious, low-impact lifestyle that follows natural rhythms.

I’m always open and curious to learn new things and enjoy learning through direct experience. At the moment, I’m reading a lot about permaculture, especially the work of Sepp Holzer and Bill Mollison, and I’m actively looking to deepen this knowledge through practical, hands-on experience.

I don’t smoke and don’t drink alcohol, and I’m respectful and mindful in shared living spaces.
