Description
Hey there!

I have lots of Workaway experience. I have been doing projects all over the place. Since 2021 I've been travelling to all kinds of countries by backpack or with my past van.

I am a very active and quite adventurous person. I love hiking, weightlifting, mountain biking, climbing, etc.

My dream is to build or renovate a wooden cabin in a forest, by a lake with tall mountains close by, preferably in Norway.

My other dream is to travel to almost every single country in the world, either by backpack or with a 4x4 car or van.

Michelle was part of our family as soon as she stepped into our home, showing up everyday with so much care. She is always ready to jump on her feet to help with anything. We were so grateful for her work but also her friendship and her contribution to the land and the community. She is strong and could keep up with anything at anytime, and took… read more

I've met Lou and Roy in 2022. They had the best rated Workaway project on Salt Spring Island, so I just had to volunteer there. Me coming back to them 3 years later on the other side of BC says a lot.

Their boat access homestead is stunning and they're inspiring, very knowledgeable and generous people.

Some tasks I've done are: raspberry… read more

Me and Nans stayed 2 wonderful weeks at Patricia’s. If you like children, tasks around the house, laughter and a bit of chaos this place is perfect for you. Patricia made sure we always have lots of tasty vegan alternatives, although it wasn’t necessary. We spent Midsommar together, swam in lakes and met their friends and family. The children are… read more

Me and Nans had a great time at Nicks. We stayed 2 weeks on his property in northern Sweden in our van. The land is absolutely beautiful and has a lot of potential. For 1.5 weeks we were working by ourselves till another volunteer arrived. Unfortunately Nick had to work quite often online. We would have loved to work a bit more together.… read more

Michelle came with her partner Nans for 2 weeks in their van and they were both great- the best Workaways I’ve ever seen!

Michelle is conscientious and hard working and gets stuck in and does her work to a high standard.

Nans is extraordinarily knowledgeable and practically skilled for his age and can turn his hands to just about anything.… read more

Having Michelle come to our home and spending time with her was a complete delight and a gift. She is fun, kind, thoughtful, has lovely manners and is very intuitive. Michelle is very hard working, intelligent, and has many skills. She enthusiastically worked on all our projects as if they were her own. We felt that she really cared and took pride… read more

Me and Nans had the honor to be Sue and Jeff‘s first workawayers. We did some gardening, rock path making and renovating the cabanas. We stayed a month in their log cabin and in our free time we went kayaking, hiking and fossil hunting. Their place is incredibly beautiful and wild. Sue and Jeff are truly inspiring and two wonderful, open minded… read more

Sascha and Oli are two wonderful human beings. Their chemistry as a couple is enviable. They're both extremely funny and open minded. You'll have some great conversations and laughters with them. The work hours are flexible. Thank you both for the few amazing days we've spent together!

When you spend time with Michelle and then have to say goodbye, you will understand what the expression “parting is such sweet sorrow” means. We made such an incredible connection with this young, yet wise person! She has left an indelible mark on our hearts. Everything she does, she does with intelligence, passion, and perseverance until she is… read more

The month I’ve spent with Marisa and Phil was one of the best weeks in my life. They showed me how to life a simple, sustainable and happy life. I learned more in a month than in 12 years of school. They taught me more of the important things in life and opened my eyes even more. Marisa and Phil are a true inspiration. These two wonderful human… read more
