Description

I’m currently spending some period traveling through Europe. This is a region of the world where diverse cultures coexist in close proximity, each with its own language and customs, while sharing economic systems and laws, sometimes harmoniously, sometimes with friction. I want to explore these cultures firsthand and try to gain a deeper understanding of the diverse perspectives that shape societies. For me may not only be about visiting new places, but also about discovering new ways of thinking and being.

I’m fluent in both Spanish and English since I have lived in US, and know a little bit of German.

I have helped at the mill two times already. The second time was recently, just a few days passing through, and the first time was last year, when I stayed for around two and a half months, even though I was originally only planning to stay for three weeks.

The mill is big, so there are always things to do. During that time, I helped with many … read more different things and learned how to do all kinds of stuff: caring for the horses and other animals, gardening, harvesting hay, removing weeds, etc. I even formed a great team with Tilo, planning and putting in the drainage system for the rain in the horses' building. That was interesting because the system can be slightly different in Germany. For example, the pipes connect differently. It was hard work and a learning experience, but fun time with Tilo, who always has great humor and conversation.

I really enjoyed helping with all the animals. It gives you a meaningful routine to your day. But I especially enjoyed Nessy, because during that time (I may have deluded myself) I tried to gain her trust. It is so interesting how a wild animal can, for moments, become like a dog that wants you to rub her belly, and at other moments wants you to understand that you need to keep your distance. I enjoyed feeding her and singing to her while I was cleaning, which she may not have enjoyed that much because I am definitely not a singer. Benny is also lovely, because he is such a happy and well-behaved dog. I had the pleasure of pet-sitting him while Claudia was away, and it was so nice to have him spend the night with me.

The area around the mill has stunning nature that you can enjoy by walking or riding a bike, since they can lend you some bikes. Depending on availability, you can get a room or a hut, which are all great options. The food has a lot of variety to choose from, and it is delicious. I had time to practice my bad German with some of the guests, and also engage with others who wanted to practice their Spanish with me.

I spent time with many other Workawayers who were there for a few days. Most of them had already been there before and kept coming back because they had formed a relationship with the place and the people there. All the staff are great, friendly and welcoming. Sara and Konstanze were incredibly helpful and supportive in every possible way, which I truly appreciated. And of course, Claudia. I can only say that I truly admire her. She never seems to run out of energy. She would do the hard work alongside you, and I couldn't keep up with her. This is something I especially admire about German culture, women don't shy away from physical tasks and will just get them done.

Many things happened during this time. People moved out, some animals unfortunately passed away, so many memories were made. In the end, Claudia invited me and another Workawayer to a Wildpark, which was a lot of fun.

They may not know this, but being there was pivotal for me. At the time, I was about to quit traveling and, in general, quit pursuing things in my life that I am still figuring out how to achieve. Being at the mill gave me a moment to get myself together and plan my next steps before continuing my journey.

For that, I will always be grateful.
