Descripción
Hi there!
I'm Laura, I'm 21 years old and I'm from Antwerp, Belgium. I'm a sculpture student and construction enthusiast.
In 2019 I took a year off in-between my studies and did 8 different workaway construction projects in France and Germany. Now that I've experienced the joy of traveling and working with other volunteers and hosts I'm hoping to continue this journey throughout my studies as well.
So far i have experience in masonry, i know basic welding, a bit of woodwork, gardening, cooking and i spent about 4 weeks building walls until the only thing i saw when i went to bed was stones and stones and stones.
I'm a very hands-on kind of person, i really enjoy getting into work, learning new skills and dealing with the inevitable struggles of manual labour. I learn quite quickly and i'm looking to improve my building skills, especially carpentry! I'm an artist at heart and take my practice with me everywhere I go, the work I've done through workaway has had an immense influence on me in and out of the studio. I'm also interested in learning more about permaculture and sustainable living.
The main joy i got out of my previous workaway experiences is the connections i made with people from all over the world. I hope i can continue connecting with new communities, sharing meals and stories and becoming a bit more open every day.

If you need a helping hand and are willing to teach me your craft I would be absolutely happy to help you out in any way I can.
Hope to see you soon!

This is the perfect place to learn about construction! I stayed with Nick for 3 weeks and he taught me so much. Nick is very patient and thoroughly explained everything I needed to know about the techniques we were using and the materials we were working with. I worked on building a wall in the garden, making wooden benches, lime rendering and a… read more

It was a delight to have Laura stay with us for 3 weeks in March. She fitted into life here immediately and worked enthusiastically on a wide variety of tasks. Keen to learn new skills, she learnt them very quickly. Laura learnt how to build stone walls, she worked independently, and showed determination to finish a huge project, to a high… read more

I had such an amazing time with Paul and Julia. I’m really grateful I got to be part of the family for 3 weeks (I wish I could’ve stayed much much longer). This is a very special place. Paul and Julia are kind, open and infinitely generous. They tell great stories and made me feel at home from day one. I came to this workaway because I wanted to… read more

Laura was an absolute delight. She just slipped into family life as if she had always lived here. Laura was always ready to lend a helping hand in the kitchen without having to be asked and that makes our lives so much easier. Laura mastered every task on the building site that she was asked to handle with good humour and enthusiasm and did them… read more

Laura is hard-working, highly-motivated and very reliable. She took on many building tasks which were challenging and new to her, without any problem. She learns fast and is competent to work with machine-tools, to scale formidable heights, and to mix excellent mortar. She is a thoughtful and trustworthy person and great company. An excellent cook… read more

Thank you to Thomas, Elke and Marlen for making my first workaway experience so wonderful!! I stayed for 2 weeks and had a really a good time in the tiny town of Zeetze. They are a very caring and warm family that will make you feel absolutely at home. Work was very stable, every day from 9h - 14h, except for the weekends. I spent my days helping… read more

Laura! Firstly, thank you for your thoughtful and wonderful feedback :)

Laura was here 6 weeks. It was a funny time of year to come, as the house was quiet and we were going through some changes. I am so happy she felt at home quickly - Laura was flexible, adaptable and happy to go along with changes.

She was very motivated to work, curious… read more

I stayed there for a magical 6 weeks. It’s hard to put the experience into words. Time moves differently there and before you know you’re completely absorbed into a different world. Tessa and the team have created such a welcoming, warm space. I felt at home very quickly. I spent all my time with Tessa, Ursel and the fellow volunteers and I really… read more
