Descripción
Hello Workaway hosts & fellow travellers,

my name is Naraya. I was born and brought up in Germany, but have travelled, worked and lived internationally, mostly in & out of Kenya, for several decades. I also lived in the UK for 12 years, from 2001-2013. My two grown up children are still based in the UK, so it's a common port of call for me. I also have connections to the beautiful Costa Tropical in the South of Spain which is my favorite port of call for overwintering.

Since i love connecting with people of all ages, cultures & walks of life - while hopefully positively contributing to the wellbeing of people, pets, plants, projects & the planet - Workaway is an ideal avenue for me to forge new friendships and continue leading a low impact life, based on the ideals of caring, sharing and peaceful community living.

I am spiritually and environmentally aware, a free being, not a freebie for global tyranny. As well as an undogmatic vegan, i am kind, tidy, quiet (or communicative, depending on situation) and adaptable. I nurture a vast variety of interests ranging from but not limited to personal/spiritual development, meditation, raw and vegan food preparation, organic/permaculture food production (learner), gardening (learner), to yoga, reading, knitting socks, the stars, the ocean, swimming, walking, and ... interacting with lovely, interesting aspects of all living beings i encounter. To thrive, i need to be surrounded by nature and be able to see the stars! I currently study Turning of The Ages Astrology and work online.

For more about who i am and what i am happy to contribute, please see skills below or feel free to ask for a get-to-know-each-other call.

Thank you for reading this far. I'd love to hear from you and warmly look forward to my next Workaway experience.

My work sometimes requires me to attend online conference calls on PST timezone, which is night in Europe. I also study experiential Astrology. So i need to be in a space where i don't disturb anyone when i need to talk or pop out to observe the nightsky in the wee hours.

I also have a TrustedHousesitters profile with excellent 5*feedback:

I stayed here for 3 weeks and it was a truly outstanding experience!

Becky, Jonny, James, Celia, co-Workaways, gardeners, family, guests ... and first and foremost the 4 Cocker Spaniels, 7 puppies, 5 alpacas, 2 pigs, 2 guinea pigs, about 60 chickens and ducks, plus Captain Tweets, the pet duck, all merged into a never ending, colorful melee,… read more truly hard to surpass - served on the backdrop of a most stunning English Country Home and remarkable British heatwave summer. But we could always cool in the pool!

My tasks and duties varied a lot during this time. In general, i applied myself wherever it was most opportune at any given moment or wherever Becky saw fit. This included:
* looking after the seven 7-weeks old puppies including feeding and supervising them - with lots of cuddle time! - cleaning the poo out of their night and day pens (and wherever else it dropped, lol), preparing night pen, putting them to bed
* feeding, watering, mucking out all the other animals
* letting chickens out in the morning, collecting eggs, putting them in at night
* deadheading roses (i'd have loved to do more of this, but the weather became too hot and other tasks were more urgent)
* watering outdoor pot plants
* daily clearing up and cleaning the large kitchen, doing the dishwashers, sinks, emptying compost bucket, bins etc.
* hoovering here and there
* laundry - collecting laundry around the premises (including soiled dog towels), filling & emptying washing machine, hanging laundry and taking it down, folding and putting it away
* and the socks! I sorted out 100s of single socks and reunited many with their original spouses, much to Jonny's delight and thankfulness!

Especially during my first week, i greatly enjoyed the al fresco family meals in the evening, often including delicious veg from the garden and always providing a vegetarian option for me. On other days i foraged from the fridge and kitchen cupboards. In any case, food and wine was always there in abundance and special requests granted when trips were made to the supermarket. An unrivalled highlight was the seafood feast conjured up by family friends who visited on my first weekend.

1/3 of my time i stayed in a large en-suite double bedroom in the family house, then moved to the described annex with own bath and kitchen, which provided much appreciated private space to retreat to in between and after duties. The host profile could probably do with a bit of updating with regards to the seasonally varying tasks and different accommodation options offered. Wifi was a bit patchy but sufficient for the purposes i needed it for.

To sum up, i was invited to come back as a friend, which i suppose is a lovely way to acknowledge that i made a positive difference to the well-being of this amazing place and all its human and animal occupants. Thank you!

(Muy Bien )

Naraya is one of the most caring and wonderful people I have met in my life. Within days I new that she would be a friend, not just to me but also to Dennis and as well to my other helpers (carers, workawayers, friends or neighbours), but she has become so much more to me than just a trusted friend by simply taking care of everything which needed… read more

I had an unforgettable, life-changing, friendship-forming almost 3-months with Sabine, Dennis, the cats Jimmy & Frankie, the variety of visiting dogs, the sun & sea, and the incredible circle of co-workers, professional carers, neighbors, friends and family who all contribute to co-creating the best possible living experience for Dennis, Sabine,… read more
