Description

Hi!
I´m Lina, a 26-year-old student living in Dresden, Germany.

Three years ago, I finished my bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and started studying Fine Arts, which has been my dream since childhood.
I also work at an art library and for a research project and am always looking for bridges between art and science :)

Apart from studying, I love simply being outside, gardening, cooking, singing, and learning more about natural building and mindful, sustainable living. I play the cello and currently try to teach myself how to play the guitar.

I pretty much grew up around wood, as my father is a carpenter, but sadly over the last years, I forgot a lot of what I knew concerning woodwork, so I would be more than happy to learn it again.
During my previous workaways, I learned how to work with old clay bricks, restore old wooden windows, work with various tools and care for animals like donkeys and cats.

I have been to some quite remote and off-grid places and am comfortable working independently.
I would describe myself as an open, but sometimes quiet person becoming more outgoing the better I get to know people :)

Lina stayed with me during two weeks. She helped out with gardening, renovation and easy construction work and did a great job. She has a good eye for detail, easily learned how to use new tools and is a hard worker. She also did a lot of delicious baking, which I miss a lot. She is a warm and friendly person and I can warmly recommend to host her.

I had a very lovely two-week stay at Linnea´s place.
She is a very kind and welcoming host and always made sure I had everything I needed.
Linnea made lovely dishes with vegetables from her garden and taught me how to prepare mushrooms from the forest.
The house and the nature around are simply stunning and I really enjoyed going for walks, … read more

Lina was in my house for 10 days.
I loved Lina right away. She has a very nice personality. And she helped me with a lot of things.
I felt that I could trust her in some job, normally i preferred to do it by myself, but I thought she could do it. And Yes, she did. It was about making a fence with branches from our tree. And she did it so well and … read more

I stayed with Anja for ten days and had a truly amazing time. I appreciated her kind and clear communication before and during my stay and felt very welcome. The work in the garden was very versatile and I enjoyed trying and learning new things - like experimenting with how to make fried pumpkin flowers :)
Anja told me a lot about the area and … read more

I stayed with Sue and Bart for about two weeks and truly loved it. I came to get to know the west coast and learn about donkeys and left loving both!
It took me a while to get used to the daily routines, talking to the tourists and learning all the donkeys´ names, but Sue and Bart were always kind and patient with me. They took me along when … read more

Lina was here for a week. She was easy to be with and cooked tasty, healthy meals for us both.
She is strong and hard working. She did a great job unearthing my drainage system, shifting soil and heavy rocks, so we could see what the problem was and I could get someone to fix it. She also helped me clear and weed a bed and plant it with peas.

My stay with Eleanor was sadly cut short due to me being ill, but it was a lovely week nonetheless. She lives in a stunning area with a view I still dream of and was very welcoming and caring. I truly enjoyed waking up to the sounds of sheep and birds, looking out into the sunny scenery from the chalet, working in the garden and eating all the … read more

It was really great having Lina around and I appreciated all of the work that she did. It was lovely to see her gain in confidence as she did things that she hadn't done before and did them well. She helped with building a porch in my house using recycled and natural materials and her lovely brick floor will be there for a very long time. She's … read more

My time in Voditsa was simply wonderful and very much worth the long journey. Getting to know the stunning scenery and life in a Bulgarian village, being spoiled by Kathy´s delicious dishes and learning so many new things made it an experience I would not want to miss. Kathy was always very considerate, made sure I had everything I needed, gave me … read more

She is just incredibly open and welcoming and really made me feel at home. She is very caring, helped me with everything I could ask her for, and was very patient with me trying to figure out the pronounciation of danish words :) I learned so much … read more
