Description
Hi travellers,
I’m Lisa, a nomad from Germany. There are so many reasons why I’m on the road and I just can’t get enough of them. For me, traveling is not a vacation, it’s a way of living and learning. It helps me to understand the world as it is. It teaches me about culture, history and people and it makes me feel free, especially these days, which is probably the most important point. As you can imagine, I’m very curious, energetic and always looking for the next adventure around the corner. I love to socialize, to make music together, to exchange knowledge and skills. After touring around New Zealand in a van for six months, my path continued to Italy, where I discovered what a good vino actually tastes like :D
Right now I'm exploring french and spanish roads by motorbike and hope to learn more about permaculture and parisian market gardens.

More details about your skills
I'm quite the handy one and happy to help with different types of construction work. I also really enjoy to work with people. For the past six years I worked as a waitress in a restaurant as well as at weddings and events. Thus I gained a lot of experience working in a team as well as being independant and taking the initiative. I grew up living in a community with handicaped people which helped me to develop the ability to work and live with fellow human beings in difficult situations. Furthermore I'm experienced with children ( I worked as a babysitter for a few years).
My parents are organic gardeners and I was raised in the countryside. So, I learned a lot about organic gardening and like to be outside in nature. Besides I'm very into all kind of animals, especially horses! I do horseback riding since I was a kid and spent the last years to learn more about natural horsemanship, because for me it is the best way to build a good and natural relationship to your horse.
I'm also a certified bartender, hand me a shaker and I'll give you a taste of my favorite cocktails:D
In general I'm always looking for new challenges to solve and new skills to obtain.

What else ...
I am full of energy, always want to discover new places and try out new things. I am used to hard work and don't mind getting my hands dirty. I am creative, like to draw, to cook and love music ( I play the guitar and piano, tried the flute, played the violin for years and sang in a choir for many years). I am also passionate about riding the motorcycle and many kinds of sportive activities. If you have any questions, feel free to ask ;)

I had a really great time with this family! I spent nearly three months at their gorgeous place in the middle of Tuscany and enjoyed a view, that seems to be unreal! I was warm-hearted welcomed as a member of the family and with their uncomplicated way of living they made me feel home quickly. The meals are always shared and offer plenty of room… read more

I had a great time spending three weeks in this incredibly beautiful place. Together with another workawayer, we shared our own apartment on the property – what a luxury. Since it was off-season there were no guests in the villa and we helped with various tasks of maintenance. I also got to experience the pruning of the vineyard, which was very… read more

It’s almost one year ago, that I spent three joyful weeks at this host, surrounded by endless hills of New Zealand’s beautiful countryside. I spent my day looking after Archie (4), Harry (2,5) and Fleur (7 months). Archie and Harry are two adorable little rascals with a lot of energy, who love to play hide and seek for hours or taking their bikes… read more

I spent two wonderful weeks at the castle with Rasmus and Stephanie. It was a pretty spontaneous decision and I’m very grateful for Stephanie welcoming me already on the next day after my application. Together with a great international team of workawayers I helped with the hemp harvest. The work was not too varied but easy to do and so worth of… read more

Lisa has spent about 10 days with us in september-october '20, and we would host her again anytime! She is all a host could hope for, and more - creative, smart, hard working, relaxed, great with kids, music, games... She really is one of the best volunteers we ever had here.

We have spent most of our working days rebuilding and insulating the… read more

Where should I start? The stay here in Belgiums countryside was just amazing! From the very beginning Floor and Bruno made sure I'd feel welcomed and as a member of the family. They are not only great and caring hosts but also wonderful parents to little Gita who is just discovering the world. It is such a pleasure to spend time with her!

The stay at Nico and Shar's was my first Workaway experience and it couldn't have been better. I spent a week at their lovely property and helped them around the house and in the garden. They were very welcoming when I arrived and made me feel home. The tasks were simple and fun to work on and Nico or Shar would explain them to me patiently every… read more

Lisa was kind and helpful and always good to be around. She worked above and beyond what was expected from her and always did it with a smile on her face. She is very mature and has a lot of life experiences and can do just about any job you ask her to do. She kept the house clean and tidy and the dogs just loved spending time with her. She baked… read more
