Descripción
We are 2 guys in our early twenties from Germany. We will finish our Mechatronics college in the beginning of September this year. As we do not want to directly start our master studies but want to experience something new and unique, we decided to travel for a couple of months. With the help of workaway we want to get to know awesome places on earth where we can help people with their projects.

We are open minded and always try to form our own opinions of new things without letting us influence of other people’s opinions. We love to get to know new cultures and respect their values and way of life. Last year we have been to foreign countrys for several months gaining working experience during our studies. We enjoy learning new things every day and to explore another way of life. Now we are looking for a new adventure. We are eager to learn new things and we are hoping for trying new things, but we also respect other people’s rules.

During our time abroad we have learned that people always give something to you and we can give something to others in terms of actual work and intercultural exchange. So, we are looking forward to meet new awesome people on our travels by helping them.

We had an awesome 5 week stay at Adrians place in Norway.
Adrian is a very nice and easy going guy. He trys to do a lot of things on his own. There are a lot of projects on his farm, so the work was very diverse. By helping Adrian with his projects we learned many skills. Most of the tasks we did involved some kind of artisanal work. But also… read more

ACHTUNG! These guys are amazing. They will not dissapoint you when it comes to working, cooking, or simply just living together. They are calm and funny to live with, and used to solve any task, or complete tough jobs in any kind of weather. Its approved that these guys are TOUGH!
Thank you Nico and Jens for joining me at the farm, it was so fun… read more

Wow, I had the greatest time over there with Toon. He is a very honest, outspoken and strong man, but caring and giving as well! The motto I got to hear quite often was “work hard, play hard and rest hard”. BUT take the first part of the motto serious, you are going to work hard! When I first arrived it started out with “easy” jobs like weeding… read more and mulching, but as Toon sees that you are trustworthy and a hard working person the jobs will get more interesting and you take over responsibility. You might find yourself mowing the lawn, digging holes, planting trees and plants or clearing the area. These jobs include tools that you need to take care of and that you shouldn't break. I even worked with power tools like the grinder, building raised garden beds for the delicate plants and veggies, and Toon has lots of veggies in his garden. The diet at his place will heal you: lots of greens and veggies that you pick from the garden, no pasta or pizza, this is part of the whole thing.
Toon will teach you a lot, not only how to do the work most efficiently and the least destructive for your body, he will teach you things, strategies and values for life. You need to listen very carefully tough when he explains things because he only does it ones or maybe a second time, but after that Toon assumes that you got it and that you will finish the task independently and if you later on do the same thing again there is no need anymore to explain anything.
I made the experience that if you really smash yourself into the work, you get the most out of your stay there. The faster and better you work, the earlier you are done and the more satisfied is Toon. And those two things in combination means “play hard”. Toon does really not offer a standard workaway package, if he is satisfied with you and you really take the whole lifestyle in (that also means no internet, TV or cellphone) Toon will take you on adventures that nobody else in the daintree can. But first you have to earn it. After the first week I worked for him I spend my two days off on my own around his house reading, relaxing, going to the swimming hole nearby and washing my cloth in the creek. The next time we went on a short hike through the jungle to a magnificent swimming hole. I stopped counting working days and hours because working at his place was great enough for me, but Toon wanted me to get the most out of this trip. So later on we went hunting on a friends farm, what an experience!! and grilled the kangaroo in a fire. My highlight was the end of my 10 week stay: Toon took me on a camping trip through the jungle up the mountain, five days all on our own. We hunted a pig on the way up ( so you need to be tough ;D), saw a snake and had to fight our way through different terrain. But by telling this, I really had to work hard to earn this adventure, but this shows if you are dedicated and always give your best, you will get the most out of a stay at Toon's heaven or hell on earth ( you have to find out on your own).
This is not a normal Australian or Daintree experience, this is a Toon experience!! You really have to be open for this and you need to be able to push your limits. For me this was the best I could do, I learned things for life and got to know a lifestyle that is different to the normal western lifestyle. Toon is definitely more than a host or even friend to me. Thank you!!!

A remarkable lad. Just outstanding. Jens stayed with me for 10 weeks and he was an asset like no other. I cannot fault him at all. Kind, courteous, gentle on me and all others. Jens worked beyond what I expected of him, I challenged him, tested him and occasionally yelled at him and he took it all in and never stopped his beautiful nature and… read more
