Description
Hi everyone :) My name is Miriam and I´m a 23 year old girl living in the north of Germany.

At the moment I am studying restoration here in Germany and I try to use every bit of freedom for some short stays abroad. I now made a few experiences via workaway and I can say that I am a big fan!

Workaway is for me the perfect oportunitiy to get in touch with locals and learn about their life, country and culture while travelling. I truly want to connect with the people around me and find other ways of living. I am very curious to listen to other peoples stories and opinions, because I love to expand my horizon.

Especially I am interested in farm life, animal care and projects that involve sustainability and self-sufficiency. I would be really happy to learn on how to live a simple life in peace with nature.

I am an optimistic and motivated woman, who enjoys life and loves to challenge herself. Thats why I am always searching for new experiences, to learn about new things and improve. I am happy to help wherever help is needed :)

I am excited for everything that will happen and every little adventure that will cross my way. I can´t wait hearing from you!

More details about my language interests
I would be excited to learn new languages! There are so many beautiful languages out there and sadly too little time to learn them all... At the moment I'm really trying to learn Polish. I would be happy to meet a native speaker with a lot of patience. I would also be very happy to teach other people my native language, German, if there is interest :)

More details about your skills
In June 2020 I finished my apprenticeship in administration. After that I was looking for something else and gained some work experience as a cleaning worker and a waitress. I did three different internships in the field of trade and aquired some practical skills. Until February 2022 I had been working for a company that specializes in historic preservation. Afterwards I started my studies in restoration, specialized in wood and stone material.

Through my workaway experiences I learned a lot about gardening and helped with all kinds of work on the farms, like planting and harvesting vegetables, cooking, taking care of animals, some construction work and childcare. I learned to take responsibility and adapt to different lifestyles.

I spent two wonderful weeks here! Jethro and Olivia are great hosts, very open and communicative. They had a lot of interesting stories to tell. I was really excited about all their knowledge about the history of the place, politics and philosophical topics.

I loved working with the horses. They are such calm and gentle souls and I really enjoyed their presence. I've also got the chance to ride… read more

Bernadette and Arnold are fantastic hosts! Welcoming, open and very kind. We worked together, shared lunch and dinner. They had a lot of fun stories to tell. I felt like becoming a part of the team and the family.
We usually worked from 8 to 12:30 o'clock. There was always something to do. Me and the other Workawayers had the chance to build a… read more

We were honoured to host Miriam as a Workawayer on our farm. What a special, modest and sincere young woman. She does all jobs very precise, if it is cleaning a rental accommodation or building a goat shed. Always on time, always working all hours as agreed, always ready to try a new kind of job and never tired or not motivated. She is an… read more

The arka is a very special place for every animal. They are living their best lives possible here! And Zeljka gives her animals all the freedom and a lot of love. It was my first time working with so many different animals and I am surprised how well they can live next to eachother. It's a real family :) Even now I think about Mazica, Phoenix,… read more

What an amazing stay at the farm!!
We felt really welcomed from the start. Metka is warm-hearted, attentive and really cares about the volunteers!
The work with the vegetables was most of the time fun and varied. In between we were also able to make a break, which was nice :)
The best thing for us was working outside in the sunny fields.

Miriam was with us for a couple of weeks - a bit shorter than originally planned, which was a shame. Nevertheless, she was a hard worker who took pride in her work and was happy to try tasks she had never tried before. She was easy to get along with, and was happy to look after Everleigh when requested. We wish her all the best in her future… read more

Christine and Christophe are amazing hosts! I instantly felt welcomed and enjoyed the conversations and time we spent. I also absolutely loved the area! Everywhere surrounded by art!
