Description
Hi there, I'm Mika! I hope you're having a wonderful day.

I just finished my apprenticeship in Sept 2025 and now I'm exploring this world outside of employment. I'm a chill, outgoing human trying to find my place in the world and make it a better place for future generations. That's my job as well, I am a "Jugend und Heimerzieher" / social worker and spent the last 3 years working in a coliving project for kids and teens.

I love dancing, singing, jamming, cooking, being in the sun, working hard, sleeping well, talking, thinking, dreaming,...

I enjoy doing garden work (planting, harvesting, watering, weeding,...), cooking/housework and spending time/playing with children. My ideal workaway would be a mix of all of those things :)

See you soon

Mika 🌻

PS
I consider myself an open hearted person, which includes being leftist and queer friendly <3

Hallo Workaway community!

Ich bin Mika, 22 Jahre jung und endlich fertig mit meiner Ausbildung als Jugend und Heimerzieher! Meine letzten Jahre in einer Wohngruppe haben mich super krisenfest gemacht, flexibel, emphatisch und sehr geduldig... Aber sie haben mich auch ziemlich gestresst und mir gezeigt, wie schnell man in Überstunden rutschen kann :) deswegen nutze ich jetzt, nach Ende der Ausbildung, endlich die Gelegenheit, mache ich mich frei vom schwabenland und erkunde Deutschland!
Ich habe schon vor Anfang meiner Ausbildung Erfahrung auf Workaway gesammelt. Großer Fan war und bin von Workaways mit community und Kindern, bei denen man einfach mitgenommen wird :) ich habe nicht wahnsinnig viel Erfahrung mit Garten Sachen, lasse mir aber gerne Dinge zeigen. Ich finde auch nervige Aufgaben können mit der richtigen Musik sehr entspannend sein. Neben Gartenarbeit bin ich immer für Kinder Beschäftigung zu haben, habe einen sweet Spot für (große) Hunde und andere Tiere (solange man sie nicht isst!), kann auch im Dreck arbeiten, kochen und backen, musizieren, tanzen,....

Ein gewisses Maß an Bewusstsein für den eigenen co2 Fußabdruck, für die Privilegien die man hat, für die Lebensrealitäten von queeren Menschen und Minderheiten gehört für mich dazu. Ich bin links und nicht esoterisch.

I spent about 3 weeks and had a nice experience. Highlights were definitely the time with the other Workawayers, walking dogs and petting donkeys. In the Workawayer house we could be 3 to 7 people at times, but that worked really well because everyone was very respectful and we had a lot of fun together. 😊 Some friendships were built in this… read more

Two very nice weeks with Mika. She helped me a lot in gardening, sorting out old stuff , disassemble broken thermal solar collector , cutting branches and so on.
We had nice conversations, went to the cinema together and to my printing workshop.
Every thing went fine and easy.
Thank you again Mika and good luck pour la suite ..

Joan is, as the other feedbacks already say, a very friendly and open hearted person. I got to visit her workshop and also went to the cinema together. The work was short, pleasant, flexible, communication always very easy. It was a calming experience and I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a place to wind down with good food, nice views… read more

I can absolutely recommend Mika!
We had a really nice time together.
He's absolutely easygoing, and fit right in. Coming from the city, naturally somewhat unskilled with farm tasks, but that didn't matter at all, because he's highly motivated to learn new things, isn't shy to get hands dirty and is also very diligent.
Thank you Mika for the yummy… read more

I stayed about 3 weeks at Nina's place and it was really an amazing time for me! The number of dogs was above average, because Nina looked after a little pack whose parents were on vacation. So the work mainly consisted of walking all of the dogs, which was definitely my favorite task. Apart from that I did easy gardening tasks, cleaning the van,… read more

We spent a week at Michis & Hannas beautiful place and had a nice and relaxing time. The kids are super friendly and open and the Allgäu provides beautiful landscapes. Michael & Hanna gave us the opportunity to host a little concert in the yurte which we were really happy about. We enjoyed the calm, the conversations with Michi, seeing a lot of… read more

Mika was a good-humored guest and a great help and support in our everyday life. He stayed for two months and enriched our family with his attentive, mindful manner. He was curious about gardening and willing to learn. He was cooking experimentally & yummy food. He has good experience with young children. With his self-reflective nature,… read more

The two months I stayed here, though sometimes rainy, will always stay in my heart. This was my first workaway and I could have not asked for a better experience. Sula was (and is) an amazing host and wonderful person. The house is big and beautiful and I felt very at home there. If you're into drawing, cooking, sitting in the sun, endless fields,… read more

Mika was an exceptional workaway guest. We were sometimes a little nervous about having such a young person here - will they need extra support, will they have the world-view to be able to fit into our household, the communication skills to tell us how they are and what they need? All of our doubts were surpassed - Mika is wonderful and mature and… read more

Sadly I only stayed two weeks with the Fordschalks but these two weeks were so busy and amazing, I can hardly describe it in a short review. I can guarantee that you will enjoy this workaway. Döbberin is small but I've never really noticed that because there were always people around. The house + especially the garden are really beautiful and… read more
