Hello dear hosts,

✨ Looking for a 2–4 week getaway from Berlin — a mix of vacation and remote work.
I’d love to spend some time in the countryside and near the sea. I’m happy to help around the house and take care of pets ☆♡☆

My favorite destinations are France, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain ;)

I’m excited to do Workaway again soon. I may be getting older, but I’m still very experienced and active when it comes to household tasks, cleaning, gardening, and caring for animals ☆♡☆

Love, Silja

P.s.
A note about my personality:
My autonomy can sometimes be misunderstood as arrogance, but I promise that’s not who I am. I’m simply used to taking care of myself and making my own choices.

A note about lifestyle differences:
I mostly follow my own habits — for example, I eat meat even if the host family is vegetarian. This has caused some tension in the past, so I prefer to be upfront about it.
I can’t change my personal likes and dislikes, but I always try to be respectful of the household I’m in.

P.p.s.
As someone who has lived and travelled across different countries, I’ve learned that my warm and open personality can sometimes be misunderstood — especially as a migrant. In some places, cultural differences in communication or friendliness can be misread, and unfortunately this has led to occasional misjudgments about my character.

I want to be very clear: I always behave respectfully and professionally with hosts and their families. My purpose on Workaway is cultural exchange, helping with daily tasks, and enjoying travel — nothing more.

In the past, a misunderstanding led to harmful rumors, including suggestions that I was involved in inappropriate behavior. These claims are untrue. Rumors like this can be dangerous, especially in a world where issues like human trafficking exist and where women — particularly migrant women — are sometimes unfairly sexualized or judged. I do not accept being mischaracterized in this way.

I value trust, boundaries, and clear communication, and I appreciate hosts who approach cultural differences with openness and respect. I’m always happy to provide references from people who know me and my work ethic.

Rumors that sexualize or misrepresent my private life are harmful and unsafe. These kinds of stigmatizing narratives resemble the same methods used in human‑trafficking contexts to isolate and discredit people. I want to be very clear that I do not support or tolerate anyone spreading such narratives about me.

I am here with honest intentions, focused on cultural exchange, learning, and contributing positively. My personal relationships and break‑ups have been normal life experiences, not connected to my work or my integrity.

For my safety and well‑being, I ask that my private life be respected and not used as material for rumors or assumptions.
