Description

- Currently in France -
- I already have two Workaway options for October/November, thanks! -

I'm a 37 year old woman from the northern part of Germany travelling with my dog around Europe.

I love peaceful seclusions and friendly, respectful and open-minded people around. I am an enthusiastic, happy, positive person who enjoys getting in and helping. I think about life as "learning by doing" and this website is a perfect start for that. :) But I also need some "me-time" so I will stay in my camper for the night if I would have to share a room with somebody because I need some time for myself. :)
I'm very open minded and happy to learn about different ways of living. I like it if people have a friendy but open communication because I think communication is the key.

I'm a teacher for German, English, Cooking and History and I gave lectures about plastic-free living. I love reading, creating something with my own hands, pyrography, cooking, animals and nature in general, cycling, music and art.

Now I am doing a sabbatical (started in August). I travel by motorhome and my dog Charlotte (14 years old) is travelling with me. So we won't need an accomodation - just some space for our small motorhome and maybe access to electricity and/or wifi.

Charlotte doesn't like cats very much so if there is no option to keep your cats separated from her, then we cannot come, I'm afraid. I often keep her on a long lead near the camper and she is perfectly fine with that but cats should not be around. The last two farms I worked at, they also had cats but they didn't go there so that was fine for everybody.

THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO DO:
harvesting (olives or oranges or kiwis?)
artsy stuff
connecting with people
