Descripción
Hey,
my name is Mitja (pronounced like 'nice to "meet ya"') !
I went through a 3 year carpentry apprenticeship a couple of years ago, worked since then all over Canada, the United States and here in Germany in construction and recently got my master carpenter certificate.
I would love to help you with any kind of construction project!
My favourite things to do are hiking, kayaking, reading, climbing and listening to and making music. But I'm also up for more exciting things like rafting, skydiving etc.
I'm interested in sustainable living and learning everything about forestry, gardening, building with natural materials and other useful skills.
Hey,
my name is Lara, not as dangerous as Lara Croft but with just as much energy :)
I love being active, but also enjoy more relaxing things like reading and writing poems or short stories.
I'm primary school teacher with the subjects language and general education, math and my absolute favorite one: art.
Another big passion is Yoga. I'm a licensed instructor for children and I've been doing Yoga in general for years.
Thanks for reading!

Que habilidades tienes?
Mitja:
I'm a carpenter, which means I can build and renovate decks, fences, roofs and woodframe houses or just basically anything made of wood!
I also have experience with brick laying, concrete, roofing, paving, painting, installing windows and doors, interior construction and basic plumbing electrical installation.
I like gardening and anything else outside and have a drivers-, trailer and forklift license and know how to use bobcats and more.
I've got 4 siblings and a big family. I like kids and am used to them.
I also did some guiding with tourists not too long ago, it's nothing I'm licensed at though.
Lara:
I can help you with many different things inside and outside the house like cleaning, cooking and baking, childcare or gardening. But I've already learned a lot from Mitja, too so we are a great team for building projects.
Furthermore I would love to support your art projects to be part of creating interesting and individual things for your home.

We only saw Caro for a little more than an hour, but she was immediately open and friendly, so we felt like home right now. We looked after her house for a few days and did some small jobs for her.
Thank you for your trust and cordiality, we have been very lucky to work for you! :)

Mitja and Lara arrived with perfect timing when we needed a house sitter and animal sitter.
They did a wonderful job looking after our horse, 2 dogs, cat and chicken. They also did a great job with some chores around the house and garden.
They also cooked a very nice dinner and dessert.
We would have loved them to stay much longer!

It was my (Lara) first workaway experience, but Tony, Fleur and Jack made it quite easy for me to feel comfortable. Their property is really beautiful, they have lovely pets and the work was not too heavy.
Thank you for having a very good time and your fantastic Dal, Tony ! We wish you the best for your future projects and plans!

Mitja was a phenomenal workawayer. Not only does he have a great sense of humor but is also a great guest (his pumpkin soup is also delicious)! He was always helpful and would do tasks without even being asked.
His skills as a carpenter were greatly appreciated and he is patient as a worker and teacher.
Would absolutely host again.

I had a great time on Will and Kelseys microfarm! Both of them are fun, caring, likeable and interested in learning new languages :D
They drove me to town, showed me around and took me to the gym, which was great.
There's nothing I could tell them to do better as a host, it felt very natural to stay with them and I would definitely come back!
