Description
Hello everyone,
I left my hometown in Austria in 2015 after working as a receptionist in the gym for a few years. I finished my studies in Fitness and Health before I left to travel to the other side of the world.

I went to Asia & I fell in love with the simplicity of life and the non-materialistic lifestyle.
I am a very motivated, respectful and reliable person and I love getting up early with the sun and also going to bed early. I have been working on a lot of different farms in the past years in Australia and learned a lot of new skills on how to grow food and look after animals. I love animals and really appreciate the time spent with those beautiful beings. I volunteered in an animal sanctuary in Sri Lanka, Fiji and Morocco. I have taught english to kids in Cambodia. I have worked on sail boats in the pacific islands and sailed to Australia where i have been now living the past 6 years. I loved those experiences so much and always love to learn more and gain more skills while exploring Greece and Italy from October till December 2024.

I keep my mind and body healthy by doing yoga, going surfing, practicing meditation, breathwork, eat a healthy vegetarian diet and love to learn more about growing organic food, permaculture, animal therapy & art therapy. I love acrylic drawing, learning pottery, embroidery and crocheting and love reading interesting books where i can learn something new as well. I am currently studying Art Therapy.

The past 6 years I have been living on the east coast of Australia, working on different farms for fruit picking (on my working holiday visa) as well as running my own eco-cleaning company. I have finished a 200 hour yoga teacher training a few years ago and taught yoga occasionally as well as managed some air bnbs.

I got to stay for 10 days on Tessa's amazing farm and it was my favourite experience in my travels in Morocco. The farm is a little bit outside Essaouira (10-15 min. by bus or car) and in a little village. The house and garden are beautiful and great to relax and spend time surrounded by lovely animals. The task was to take care of Tessa's sweet… read more

It is a great spot in Kep, on the edge of the national park where you can watch beautiful sunsets everyday.

We only stayed at Karen's place for a bit over a week but we would always love to come back another time whenever we have more time in Australia. The work was mostly feeding the baby-animals, helping on an event with bathing the animals & looking after them, moving an electric fence, cutting firewood, ...
