Description
Hola! I’m a 36-year-old freelance graphic designer from Germany and currently traveling through Mexico. I would love to improve my Spanish, learn more about the culture and contribute my skills in a helpful way.

I’m an easygoing and cheerful person and usually in a good mood. I enjoy being creative! Besides my job as a designer I love pottery, cooking – and eating! I come from a family where everyone enjoys good food and cooking together. I like improvising in the kitchen, usually without a recipe, and getting inspired by whatever ingredients are around. I feel the most alive when I'm close to the sea and in nature.

I’m adaptable and open-minded, and I don’t mind when things are different from what I’m used to. I enjoy spending time with others, but I’m also very comfortable doing my own thing and having some quiet time when needed.

In general, I’m curious and interested in learning new things. I’m a quick learner, attentive, and I like to think along and notice quickly where help is needed.

I was looking for a true italian family-experience and that is exactly what I got – and SO much more! They really want you to be a part of the family and that was easy, because they are all so welcoming, kind and easy going. Most of the time I watched little Olivia and sometimes Sebastian too and I loved it. They are smart, funny kids and even I… read more

Katharina is a lovely person! We got on really well together and she was loved by all the members of the family. The children adored her. She was very patient and lovable with baby Olivia and her brother of six, Sebastian. Never a sad moment always cheerful and happy!
She left the room tidy and clean and I hope to see her again sometime in the… read more

Staying at Rosies place was a beautiful experience! I helped her with the Olive harvest, in the garden and mostly to organize all the overwhelming tasks she has to face at the moment. Even she had a terrible year - I met a really strong, funny and wise woman, who is trying to see the positive in everything and move forward in life. And I was so… read more

Katharina came to me just when I needed her. After my husband died I was overwhelmed with official paperwork and coping with my huge area of land. Using her excellent organisational skills she created a system to help me manage the massive piles of documents, also linking it to my computer. Since she left, my life has been more focused and I am… read more

Harvesting Olives at Marzios place was a really nice and fun experience! We were 4 workawayers, living together in an apartment and at the beginning I didn't know what to expect - but we got along very well and had a funny time during the harvest and after. Marzio, his lovely wife and dad are the perfect hosts, you can really feel that they care.… read more

Katharina, has been here for just one week but adapted very quickly at the house pace being fun and good company and also befriended every one at the farm.  She understood rapidly how to help for the wine tastings and deal with the house keeping with me being gone most of the day.
I was gone for 2 days and she was left by herself taking care of… read more

100000000% Recommendation Silvio's home is an inspiring, cozy, cultivated, tasteful place with great food/products for cooking, delicious wine and homemade bread. Heaven for foodies! And if I would buy a house, it would be like this - including the interior and the contents of the fridge! Unfortunately I could only stay 1 week, but despite the few… read more

Katharina is the best workawayer you can find! She has a very good engine and can reflect and put things in another perspective that's develop workaway to another level. If you give her longer reins and throw the blinkers you will not regret it! If you also let her into your family she probably will end up as a member (if I could decide). Under… read more

She was directly integrated in the family and the kids (and us!!) loved her a lot!
For sure we miss your presence, conversations and fantastic meals!!
