Description

Hi :)

My name is Otto, I'm 24, and I am interested in lots of things, always eager to learn something new, be it a hands-on skill or expanding my mind through reading and conversation.

I feel very passionate about sustainability; I find great joy, comfort and meaning in being Nature, rather than simply being in nature, and I hope to be able to start my own permaculture project one day.

For the time being I'm studying, volunteering, and enjoying being able to travel, to meet like-minded people, and to discover the different ways in which folks are growing their food and choosing to live...

I feel especially interested in continuing to deepen my knowledge of perennial edibles, herbalism, foraging, fermentation and natural building, while being open to and curious about anything a new experience might bring :)

I deeply value the importance of community and the magic that can take place through genuine exchanges, and the sharing of good vegetables!

More details about your skills

I love cooking and I've been vegan for years which has led to a lot of experimenting and trying new things.

I also have some gardening skills which I'm trying to expand; I'd be happy to help anywhere I can, to practice what I know already and to learn what I don't.

I've babysat and tutored for years and it's always a joy to connect with children.

Often I am a bit reluctant at having volunteers who are grown up in a big city, as it is too many things to learn. But Otto is an exception and has embraced the lessons nature can teach in a wholehearted and passionate way, always eager to stay with the trouble and go deeper :) I was impressed at Otto's presence and persistence with the tasks at … read more

I spent four weeks in Rinnefors over the month of July, and I had such a beautiful time!

Nina and Tim are kind, creative, easy-going and generous, and they have created a little paradise on their property; the house, the cottage I was staying in, the sauna by the lake, and the land itself all clearly have been polished by loving care.

They live … read more

Otto was a joy to host during 1 month in July 2025. She is very friendly, easygoing, autonomous, and a passionately engaged worker...she is eager to learn while also having plenty of inspiration to share with others...if you get the chance to invite Otto, just do it!

I stayed in Flegessen for three wonderful weeks in June. Everyone was very kind and welcoming, generous with their time, space, knowledge and food. It was great to meet many people who had chosen to live intentionally together and to witness how that took place practically; be it within shared mealtimes, rituals, conversations or car rides. The … read more

Otto stayed three weeks at our place in northern Germany and we had an amazing time together. She really fitted to the group with her background and spent like us a lot of time outside in nature and did some wild herb foraging, dehydration and food preparations. We did a lot of different work together like building stone paths, gardening, house … read more

It was a pleasure to have Otto as a volunteer in our center. She's very detail-oriented and works in a very gentle way, taking care of furniture, walls and floor. Also, she's very skilled to work with her hands as it was evident when making malas (prayer beads), cutting fabric and folding linen. She listens to instructions carefully and follows … read more

Otto was an absolute pleasure to work with and a great addition to our team at Saorsa.
I think I speak for everyone when I say we are sad to see them go!

An incredibly hard worker and a fast learner who was up for any challenge thrown their way.
Stepped up to tasks in the kitchen as well as house keeping and front of house, but beyond all this, … read more

It was an absolute pleasure to have Otto come and work with us. They were a methodical, precise and hard worker. It was obvious that they cared about doing a good job. During their stay they helped us with potting, seed sowing, painting a chicken coop to name a few things, and also looked after our two year old daughter who was very happy in their … read more

I had such a lovely time at Lucy and Aimi's farm!
They are kind, easy-going, generous people and they clearly put effort into making workawayers feel welcome and useful. The work was varied, pleasant and fair, the vegetables I got to eat from their garden were delicious and I loved how cozy and well-furnished the cabin I was staying in was. It … read more
