Description
Ich habe das Fieber, das Reise-Fieber
Es treibt mich immer wieder weg. Nach draussen, in die Natur. Neues entdecken, an Erfahrung dazugewinnen und spannende Menschen treffen. Unbekannte Kulturen kennenlernen und auf verschiedenen Wegen und Pfaden mit den unterschiedlichsten Fortbewegungsmitteln unterwegs sein. Momentan reise ich mit meinem Campervan Jack. Man sieht sich. Irgendwann, irgendwo...
I've got the fever, the travel fever
It constantly drives me away. To the outside, into the nature. Discover new things, gain experience and meet exciting people. To run the gamut of unknown cultures and to be en route on different ways and paths with various means of transportation. At the moment I'm travelling with my campervan Jack. See you there. Sometime, somewhere...

Together with my sweet travel companion Antonia I spent almost three weeks at this remote place close to Motril. We also took care of the house and the animals for ten days while the owners Liz and Mick where in England visiting family members.

Es hat mir sehr viel Freude bereitet mit Daniel zu arbeiten. Er ist zuverlässig und ein handwerklich sehr begabter Mensch. Auch für die Tiere hat Daniel ein super Händchen und kann selbst mit schwierigen Tieren sehr gut umgehen.

Daniel showed up really spontaneous (I can drop by tomorrow) for my free winter spot, and was great help and company. He liked to team up with my other volunteer Patrik and they got some really big projects done, like renovating the compost toilet, building a door for the stable and making a really cool video for my gofundme page.

Marion ist just the best host I've ever had so far. In the period I stayed there (3 months) she became a very good friend and kind of a mother to me. We made a good team :) There's nothing you can't talk about with her. She is very open minded and even gives you a hand wherever you need it. Also I met so many very welcoming people at her place,… read more

Daniel worked hard and took some of most discouraging jobs out of our hands. He didn't back out for dirty or physically challenging jobs and have made a point of being thorough and finishing everything, he started. He works independently and is assertive, always keeping positive attitude.
That we appreciated a lot!

Uhhh I need to be precise now ;) Marc likes it if you can express yourself properly. But don't worry, he's always very patient and willing to give you a hand or explaining you his way of thinking. Makes you rethink your committed beliefs.

There are a lot of different tasks to do at this lively campground where always something interesting is happening. It was the first time for me to milk goats and sheep. Also the first time to sheer a sheep which is fun but also demanding. Great opportunity to learn new things and Bernadette and Arnold are totally willing to show you everything.… read more

Daniel helped us during the complicated time in which we brought all the horses into the stables for the winter. It was particularly challenging, because he didn’t have any professional experience in farm work or in the handling of horses, which naturally caused some confusion. He was a good team worker, always polite, trustworthy, tried his best… read more

We had wonderful walks with the two dogs, although they are a little bit picky what can be fun, but they're absolutly lovely.
