Description
Hi, I am Milena, 27-years old and from Germany. I am a certified Hatha yoga teacher and have experience teaching in retreat settings, which I truly enjoy. I am very passionate about a conscious and healthy way of life and mindfulness. I really enjoy photography and creating content, and I am building more experience in this area.

I am also a big food lover! I am vegetarian and I love to cook and try all sorts of delicious food, especially when I'm travelling. I like to be in nature and go for long walks. I am a very creative person, I do some macrame, drawing and play guitar and piano. Recently I got into upcycling furniture and I am really proud that I managed to build a new outside table for our garden. I fell in love with making ceramics and since years I really want to learn more about it!

I love to travel to expand my horizon, get inspired, grow, learn new skills and to connect with lots of wonderful people all over the world! Over the past 8 years I have volunteered in lots of beautiful projects which have influenced me in my own way of living. I have traveled to Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand and all over Europe. One of my coolest experiences was living three months in an ecovillage in Thailand, where I learned about permaculture, natural building and how to cook authentic Thai food.

More details about your skills
I am a certified Hatha yoga teacher with experience in retreat settings, guiding Hatha and Yin Yoga classes, meditations, and breathing techniques.

Cooking and food are a big passion of mine — I enjoy preparing vegetarian dishes and experimenting with new recipes.

I also teach languages professionally and speak German, English, Italian, and Spanish fluently, and can communicate in French.

I enjoy photography, video, and content creation, and love capturing special moments and helping projects present themselves beautifully. I am creative and hands-on, with experience in drawing, macramé, upcycling furniture, and ceramics.

I have several years of experience in hospitality, having worked in cafes and restaurants in Germany and Australia.

I am social, enjoy connecting with people, and love being in nature, which makes me happy to assist with both guest interaction and practical tasks. I am also interested in sustainable living and have experience learning about permaculture and eco-friendly practices.

I spent a month this year with Mati and Moon, teaching yoga and helping with general tasks like cooking and preparing breakfast. It was such an enriching experience!
The retreat center is beautiful — completely surrounded by nature and within walking distance of the beach. I loved teaching in the beautiful yoga shala, immersed in nature. I led… read more

I had a great time with Henny, Rik and Baby Joy. Henny and Rik were great hosts and very inspiring people! I had some really interesting, deep conversations with them which I found very enriching! Together we shared lots of beautiful moments and yummy meals. In my week there I helped to organise the place, do some planting and make some… read more

I had a really great time with Gaby! He is a great host! He always made a big effort to accommodate to my needs and made sure that I feel ok. He also prepared really delicious food and took me and the other workawayer to one of the beautiful beaches nearby one afternoon. The place itself is very beautiful and peaceful. You can easily walk to the… read more

Milena is a very nice, reliable and chatty person, who speaks excellent Spanish, as well as English, German, Italian and who knows what else. She helped me dig up a couple of beds and plant out the winter vegetable garden, and must have done a good job as right now it's thriving! She kindly offered me a yoga class that I sadly missed, did some… read more

My month here was a great experience! It was a strange feeling having lived in the former filmset, but the place was filled with joy. Tina was a great host who tried to accomodate to us. And I was lucky to have met a lot of interesting people. My highlights were the nights under the sky full of stars around the bonfire.

Overall it was a very… read more

Milena and Hi where very helpful in a difficult moment iof my life.
They are very kind, polite, available, always cheerful and lovely.
They learned very easily to take care of the horses, and they did it with sweet aptitude.
They can both improve a bit in the work organisation with autonomy and indipendence, but if you have the possibility and… read more

Our three weeks with Elena have been a very rewarding experience. Elena was very welcoming and taught us patiently how to handle her horses and the donkey. From then on, every evening we would bring out the animals of their stable and lead them to the near by meadow, would clean the stable afterwards and learned, to understand their needs.

La masseria è un posto veramente speciale; pieno di vita e nuova energia di artisti diversi. Ho passato un bellissimo mese con Jacque e Fabrizia che sono appassionati per il loro progetto. Jacque è un artista molto talentato, piena di idee e creatività; Fabrizia una cuoca incredibile e una ragazza molto socievole, che mi ha portato in giro: ai… read more

I spent two months with Paola, Gianmario and the grandma and they made me feel like part of their family. I worked mostly in Paolas wonderful vegetable garden and learned so much about a more sustainable way of planting. Paola didn't only teach me about permaculture and wild herbs, but also shared her spiritual views with me. Both Gianmario and… read more
