Description

I am most happy when I am in nature. And I mean the Friluftsliv way of being in nature, like collecting berries, building a shelter, digging in soil with my hands and getting up and going to bed with the sun. I also enjoy sports in nature, especially rock climbing, but nothing is quite as beautiful as the feeling of waking up in a hammock, looking at treetops and listening to a stream.
The most inspiring people I have met so far were always people who live at ease according to their values and I try my best to do the same respecting nature, which means also other people and their values.
I would say that my not that secret skill is to see the good in people and I love to help people finding their own potential and strengths believing in their abilities and this might be one reason why I work a lot with young people (organising a kids climbing and outdoor group, giving self-defence courses for kindergarten kids, teaching rock climbing at university, etc.).
Apart from that I am a geography student, climate activist, adventurous, sociable and often energetic person with many ideas (sometimes even too many), who values to get to know new perspectives on life. Especially kids, dogs, my grandparents, singing at jam sessions with friends, time in nature and meditation open my heart and make me feel at easy with myself.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have worked as a teacher (geography, english, sports, german, music, self defence, etc.) in various schools and I love how kids hearts are not yet shaped that much by societal norms and how they think out of the box and I think they like spending time with me for being patient and letting them try new things themselves instead of doing everything for them or telling them how exactly things have to be done. I have also lived with young kids. So most things including work with children should work (I have also worked with children with disabilities but not too often, so it would depend on their specific needs).

As a kid, I spent a lot of time with my huge family on my grandparents farm picking berries, planting beans, etc. so working in nature is quite familiar to me. Although I had (permaculture) gardening lessons in school I forgot a lot of it and would love refresh and deepen my knowledge. Experienced in working on an organic almond plaintain, in the forest, etc.

I am a creative chef of vegetarian food and have cooked a lot in my life for groups normally up to 14 people. I love to experiment with homemade sourdough bread and kefir. I am also into collecting wild herbs and using them for cooking directly or to dry, etc. them. I am happy to share my knowledge!

Household chores are not a problem for me!

Crafting-related work: I have built a campervan myself (mainly worked with wood but also set up a 12-volt electricity system), did minor reparations in houses, built basic furniture, etc. I sometimes tend to overthink details to get it right, especially if the material I work with is something else than wood, so just show me what you expect. I also know sewing, painting walls, etc.

I am horrible with social media related stuff, so I won't be a great help in this field.

I am good at organising things (like campaigns, etc.), networking and bringing people together.

I am a rock-climbing instructor and very experienced in teaching rock climbing.

I consider myself being quite flexibel, self-organised, hard working whenever necessary, and learning new things quickly. I appreciate clearly communicated expectations whenever there are expectations and constructive criticism.

I have introduced a lot of people to rock climbing, outdoor life, vegetarian diet and climate activism and they liked it :-)

I am new to this platform but not at all to travelling, living in simple environments, sharing rooms and houses, being part of a community, hosting people, etc.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Join us on our non-profit ...)

Scottie, Tim and all the workawayers before me have created this very beautiful place in the Puna rainforest, in which I stayed for almost five weeks.
You will be constantly surrounded by wind, sunshine or rain, the sound of the jungle, a couple of funny cats and ripe fruit on all the different kinds of fruit trees and vines on the property. The … read more solitude of this place was the perfect beginning for a reset time at the beginning of my time in Hawaii.

As even the most beautiful places are only enjoyable if you have the right people around you, I am very grateful for Scottie as a host and Tim as a Co-Worker.
Scottie is an honest person who seems to like clarity, constructive criticism and getting straight to the point. I especially appreciated three things about him as a host:
1. I felt like it was sufficient for him hat I was honest, quite independent and did the expected work and that there was no need to turn into a people pleaser - I could just be who I was.
2. He said “thank you” at the end of each work day, which felt nice.
3. He would also do dishes, laundry, etc. which made it feel more like taking care of the place together than having a boss who just tells you what to do.
Moreover, he had prepared a nice cabin for me upon my arrival, made sure there were always staples in the kitchen, sometimes brought over some ice cream, etc. he made and when a local Kumu came over, he made sure we would get to experience this as well. He clearly did not only want my labour but wanted me to have a nice experience while I was staying with him.

As for work, after the first retreat, which was mainly cleaning, cooking and laundry together with other workawayers, I was mainly working on my own doing the same kind of tasks or working with Tim doing mainly weeding. However, I also got to plant pineapples, harvest fruit and prune and craft trees and enjoyed working with Tim as I could ask him questions about the land and the processes.

As for your free time, there is so much to do in the area (ask Scottie for the Telegram group link) and people in Puna are very nice - hitchhiking works very well! If you got plans that don’t align with the usual work schedule, just ask Scottie whether you could switch a work day. He was very flexible with that.

Two things I think you should know additionally to the information in the profile:
There were lots of mosquitoes when I was there, even in the inside places - so bring enough bug spray (it was however also a very rainy time of the year).
There is a public, free swimming pool in Pahoa which you can reach by bike in 15 minutes! :)

Thanks again Scottie for having me! :)

Wina stayed with us for about one month and she was such a great person to meet and host.

During her stay she was here to experience pretty much everything that we do here at our farm and Retreat Center.

Wina helped us prepare for a group retreat, which entailed preparing cabins for our guests, organizing and cleaning the community areas, as … read more

Jan accepted my request last minute and welcomed me in his beautiful home. He endowed me with hospitality, trust and food and gave me the freedom to spend my free time as I wished. The work was mainly easy, non-physical maintenance work around the house (like painting walls or fixing the roof), which I could do independently and the working hours … read more
