Description
Hey my name is Marine and I´m from Germany (but I'm also French). I recently graduated from university in social sciences in the Netherlands and I am now travelling in Sri Lanka:) I love to discover new places and get to know other people, their culture and experiences included:)) I am very open minded and tolerant towards others and love to have discussions and especially laughter with people from around the world :)) I travelled alone for the past year and thus learned to be independent and to connect easily with other people.
My passions lay in dancing, especially jazz, hip hop and recently also samba, beeing creative, by drawing and crafting, cooking and playing the piano. I like to do some manual work and maybe even learn a new craft.
I would be really happy to meet you and help wherever I can :)

This place is so incredibly beautiful, I don't think I've ever been to a hostel that is so magical. I spend a wonderful week there, helping with the guests, meaning mostly setting up the table and making tea or coffee. The hostel is made out of clay and bottles, super beautifully done! It is located in the middle of nature, in front of a huge lake… read more

I stayed only a week at this camp, but it was a super nice experience! The place is beautiful and all the people who work there are super nice. The work consists basically of playing with the kids for a few hours a day, its not very long (since the kids are mostly in the water with the instructors), but can be exhausting because of the heat. I… read more

Marine is a very intelligent and inquisitive person. She showed a great deal of common sense when applying herself to new tasks, so I felt comfortable trusting her with building/making projects. She seems to be genuinely happy almost all the time, and that makes her delightful company. She contributed to a very positive group atmosphere while she… read more

Soo I am finally here to write a feedback to one of the best Workaway places I have been! I only spend around 2 weeks at Jason's place, but it was such a wonderful and mindshifting experience.
As a volunteer you live in a cosy yurt in the middle of nature. Our daily tasks consisted of gardening, planting, weeding, digging and watering. You can… read more

I spend only around 2 weeks at the farm. I had a nice experience, working with all the nice volunteers and Antonio, the owner, is super nice, calm and wise:)) It was a pleasure to meet all of them. To the place: The huge farm is filled mostly with cork and eucalyptus trees. Our task was either to pick up branches that were cut of, planting… read more

Marine fit in with every aspect of camp life easily and quickly became a supportive and reliable part of the team. Her sweet and friendly personality made it easy for campers to overcome shyness and warm to her quickly. She is a skilled dancer, a confident individual and great activity leader. Through her time at camp, she kept pushing herself and… read more

I can´t describe in words how much this experience, working in this summer camp in Romania means to me! It was my first Workaway experience and I absolutely loved it. I loved the people, the place, the work, the environment, the culture, the energy and of course all the beautiful kids.
I spent around a month at the place in August 2020. I kept… read more travelling for half a year afterwards, but this experience is still my favourite and has a big place in my heart. I will never forget the first day I arrived. It was almost midnight; I was picked up from Alba Julia and arrived at the camp. Everybody welcomed me directly so warm and kindly, I met Dali (the owner) who I loved from the start with her funny and open personality. I wrote directly to my mom: “Mom I know I will love this place” and it came true.
All volunteers live together in 2 houses next to the camp, so they have their own little space, which was great to have late night talks, dinners, and dance parties. We started each week with a conference with all the volunteers to plan the following days. We had a tight schedule, and everybody had to take responsibility to lead groups. You are put into different teams and every day you give sports lessons or English lessons, lead activities like drawing, teach them to make bracelets, organise carnival evenings, go on trips in the mountains, sing, dance and do a lot of other fun games. The kids are older than I thought, mostly around 13 which was nice, since you could really talk and have conversations with them. I loved that you could bring in you own ideas, I for example love dancing and therefore teached some kids a choreography. The other volunteers, workers and owners made the place really special to me, I loved each and every one of them! The only thing I would criticise is that we really do not have a lot of free time. We work from around 9am till 10pm and we only have one day off. But since it is so much fun, it really doesn´t feel like work, thus I enjoyed the long days of “work”. If you apply here you should know though that this is not a place to just live for free. No, you have to be motivated to make it the best camp possible for the kids. But it is so rewarding! In the end of each week, we sit around a bonfire, sing and all the kids cry, it is such an emotional and moving evening, because you know they cry because the camp means a lot to them! The energy in this camp is so special, so loving, caring, like family. Simply Beautiful. I really hope I can come back this year to relive my best Workaway experience!! --"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." -- THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I love you all and miss you! I am sending you big hugs and lots of kisses <33

Hello! I spent 4 beautiful weeks in this Hostel in September 2020. (Sorry for only giving a feedback now!) My stay there was incredibly spontaneous, I literally wrote them a day before I arrived. It is a very small Hostel, with only a few guests and 3 or 4 volunteers. I can only talk about my experience during the pandemic in this Hostel, so it… read more

Hello! Sorry for only writing a feedback now! I spent only 10 days in Greece to work for Theo on his language website, but I learned a lot. All volunteers worked on their laptops together in the apartment of Theo. Everybody had a different task: Translating vocabulary and phrases, programming, creating events and just work with the database… read more
