Description
Hi there, I'm Mika!
Nice to meet you!

*in Rome until February 25*

I just finished my apprenticeship as a social worker in Germany in 2025 and now I'm exploring the world! I'm a relaxed and social person with a sense of humor and I'm curious about the diverse ways people design their lives!

I'm curious about animal care (dogs are my fave), sustainability, creativity, self care and social justice. I thrive from social and care work, like taking care of animals, children, cooking for people, cleaning,... but I would love to get more confident in general building and DIY stuff!

Work wise I enjoy team work but also solo projects, I don't mind rain, mud, dog poop. I prefer having a flexible time schedule but I know that's not always possible. I like spending time with my host(s), their friends and of course other workawayers!

Dog(s), guitar(s), and vegetarian food are a big plus for any place!

See you soon

Mika 🌻

Hallo Menschen!

Ich bin Mika, 23 Jahre alt und endlich fertig mit meiner Ausbildung als Jugend und Heimerzieher! :) Jetzt nutze ich endlich die Gelegenheit, mache mich frei vom schwabenland und erkunde den Rest der Welt!

Ich interessiere mich für community living, gelebte solidarität, veganismus, Musik, Tiere kümmern (nicht für wirtschaftliche Zwecke oder um die zu essen!), selbst reflektion, lesen, und mehr lernen über eine Gesellschaft mit mehr Respekt und weniger Hierarchien.

Hund(e) , Gitarre(n) und vegetarisches essen sind ein großes Plus für jeden Ort!

Ich arbeite gerne gemeinsam, vor allem auch mit den Hosts, damit ich mehr über eure Idee erfahren kann und von euren skills lernen kann.

Bis bald!

I spent 2 weeks at DLP with a friend of mine in October/November. My friend and I got integrated into the community so naturally, everyone was so welcoming and it has been such a pleasure to get to know these people!
DLP is very much on the country side and it was soo relaxing and quiet. We stayed in a beautiful and big wagon, accompanied by some… read more

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
