Descripción
We are a open-minded, funny and very happy couple since a few years. When Flori finished university and Elli A-Level in School we started our journey in September to explore beautiful Iceland for four months. We are curious about everything new, that is waiting for us in the world. But Iceland was always at the top of our travel-list - even when we didn´t know each other. With its landscape, the polar lights and the very lovely and hospitable people Iceland is fascinating us. We´re both loving animals and like to work with them.
Only the thought of the silence of the nature, the freedom and the stunning feeling of being far away of boring and tiring everyday life, is motivating us day for day.
After Iceland we started to work on an Permaculture project in Spain. Here we stay until the end of February. So right now we are looking for new jobs for March and April. Our favorite job would be to work with dogs.

Florian have been in New Zealand for eight months and worked there for two months on a dairy farm with 650 cows, where he got experience in milking cows, feeding calfs and driving the tractor. He also repaired fences and helped on a sheep farm, when they cut the tails of the lambs. So we know, what hard farm work means and what will expect us.
In Iceland we did "Smala" for more than 8 hours a day. Also, we cleaned guesthouses, picked up potatoes and enjoyed the landscapes - and spent time with the Icelandic people we met here and which are our friends now.

No project they did not try and solve with teaching and instructions. Nice to have them in our home. can recommend them in assisting with various outdoor / farmer and indoor jobs. They will always be part of our family.

First of all: We could fill a whole book with beautiful moments and unforgettable experiences which Silja and Doddi enabled us, but Silja told us to also write about the exhausting and hard tasks of our stay at their farm - to show the following workawayers, that this stay is nothing for everyone. Here we go:
We are a german couple, stayed at… read more Siljas and Doddis place for two months, from the beginning of september to the beginning of november. Thats the typical time in Iceland to do Smala - when farmers fetch thousands of sheep home for the winter, because over the summertime all the sheep stay free in the mountains and the fields of the Westfjords.
So our main job was helping them with that. But Smala is really nothing for everyone. To be a good helper you should love hiking in the mountains for a long time - no matter if it´s raining, snowing or "just" icecold. Furthermore you should have no problem with height (you will have to climb very steep cliffs and hillsides) and it should be not a big deal for you to catch and sometimes carry a strong and heavy sheep. It is also possible that you have to run as fast as you can - to hinder the sheep from escaping out of the way you want them to go. Of course you are not alone in the mountains, but there are situations when you are the person in the best position to run after the sheep.
As a good Smala-Guy you should be: Trained, brave, strong, sustained and you should make decisions fast and independently.

Beside Smala we had also other jobs to do:
We cleaned the three guesthouses. That means for example: making the beds, cleaning the bathroom with toilet and vacuuming the whole house. To continue, we helped them with the meat-work. Making sausages, cutting the different parts of the sheep and putting some of them in their little smoking house.
To tell you something about the daily food at Siljas and Doddis place: You should love and cherish eating sheep and lambmeat with potatoes repeatedly in a week. If you are the person preferring vegetables to every meal, that is not the right place for you. But of course we can confirm all the positive feedback of the other workawayers about Siljas very tasty homemade breads and cakes.

We loved Doddis jokes and in general his lovely and funny sense of humor. We spent hours with discussing about life and played cards a lot. We definitely found a place that we will never forget and the people and memories will stay forever in our hearts. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Silja and Doddi!
