Description

Hi there.

My name is Jakob and I´m 33 years old.
I have a BA in social pedagogy. And have worked in many different areas. Worked with homeless people, people with disabilities, gardening, postman, factory and so on.

In my spare time I work do gardening/ maintenance for different people. Or help on the farms for my relatives.

I like to experience different places and meet new people.
I see myself as friendly and trustworthy.

Jakob stayed with us for nearly three weeks and brought a very sweet and thoughtful presence. He quickly warmed up to the group, revealing his great sense of humor and deep, contemplative nature. Naturally content with the simple things in life. We shared many lovely evenings by the fire, little trips on our days off, and long conversations about … read more

I was lucky to spend 2-3 weeks in this little oasis in Sicily. I enjoyed to be a part of a good community lifestyle. Where the people and work balance was in focus. There was a lot of freedom to do the tasks you found interesting or skills you wanted to improve. All the time with safety and community in mind.

There is a lot of things to see near … read more

Jakob was a great guest. Easy going, hard working, communicative, and interested in meeting new people and discovering new cultures (we are from many different cultures in the Abbey!). He also has a witty sense of humour, which was fun! We highly recommend him.

I had two wonderful weeks at the Abbey. The days are scheduled, so you are not in doubt when and where to work. Its very easy to tap i to their daily rhythm. The tasks was very different and interesting. From cutting grass, helping put up tents, working in the apple orchard, helping with the cheese making, and lots more.
People are very kind and … read more

I had a good stay in these beautiful Mountains with a great view over the sea. Had 10 days at the place. lived in a cozy tree house.
The tasks was easy and straightforward. When we drove to do some building project, the days could be long. Away from morning till evening. But a great experience to see and meet the locals. Got a lot of knowledge … read more

I was lucky to have my 10 days of summer vacation at the farm. And it was just a perfect place to do.
The place has so much history, and you feel you are a part of it. I enjoyed feeding the animals in the morning, painting, weeding the potato field and other tasks both inside and outside. Easy and fair tasks and hours to work. A refrigerator full … read more

I was happy that Lillian wanted my help, even it only was for about 10 days. The work was easy enough and sometimes hot. But that was to expect when it's south Europe:) most days the work is the morning and in the afternoon. But Lillian is very flexible about the off hours and off days, so I could plan trips to bordighera and also trip to nice. … read more

Jakob was an excellent guest. He enjoyed keeping busy, and was very reliable. He is easy going, communicates his needs well, and worked great alongside another guest helper. We enjoyed his dry sense of humor. Most importantly, he treated our animals with respect. Even Frida! Thanks, Jakob!
