Descripción
Hello! I'm Justine, a French Canadian with Italian roots. Although I've never participated in a workaway program, the idea has fascinated me for a long time. After the end of an 11-year relationship, I'm finally ready to pursue my dream. I've traveled extensively throughout my adult life, but I've never experienced the unique combination of working and traveling in one place. My dream is to work on a horse farm, taking care of the barns and horses.

Dejado por el workawayer () para el anfitrión (Animal and nature-loving ...)

Staying with Kathrin for five weeks was the most amazing experience I’ve had abroad. She lives in a beautiful, welcoming old mill farmhouse that immediately made me feel at home. From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and most importantly, very safe. The house is located in the countryside, surrounded by horses, and you often see people… read more walking their dogs and horses, which made me happy. You also get a more than comfortable room with our own bathroom, with a view on the garden.

Kathrin was incredibly thoughtful about making sure I always had enough food and regularly asked me what I wanted to eat. We also cooked together quite a few times, which was a lot of fun. Her cooking was always delicious and healthy, with fresh and organic ingredients.

The tasks I was asked to do were simple and enjoyable. Most of the work involved outdoor, like taking care of the horses, maintaining the house, cleaning, and general upkeep. It was all very manageable and easy. Kathrin was usually around to help, so it never felt like she was asking me to do anything she wouldn’t do herself. Also taking her adorable dog, Grittli, for walks a few times a week.

If you’re a digital nomad, this is the perfect Workaway experience for you. Kathrin offered me a spacious workspace at a large table right by the fireplace, which made it easy to work while enjoying the coziness of the house. She was also super flexible with my schedule, which allowed me to balance work too.

She also really integrated me into her social life, and I had the chance to meet her family (her daughter is really nice!!!!) and friends, all of whom were really warm. It was super to meet all these people with all kinds of interesting life stories.

On a deeper level, this journey was eye-opening for me. As a North American, I’m used to living a fast-paced life, always rushing from one thing to the next. Living with Kathrin for 5 weeks helped me realize the importance of slowing down and appreciating life more fully—whether it’s taking an hour to read a book, spending quality time with friends and family, or simply taking the time do to things and activities. Kathrin is always doing something inspiring—whether it’s socializing with the local community, dancing class, choir, reading club, hosting people, making Christmas crafts, baking homemade bread, or sharing Swiss traditions and food. I want to take an example from her for my own way of living my life.

Kathrin is a great listener and was always open to hearing about my life and experiences, while also sharing her own stories. Her life values are so inspiring, and I will always treasure the conversations I had with her on the kitchen table. We had a couple of similar life experiences and we bonded over these, and she offered different perspectives.

I couldn’t have asked for a better host for my first Workaway experience, and I highly recommend staying with Kathrin.

(Excelente)
