Description

Hello and a hearty welcome to our page! We're Mats and Julia, and we're embarking on a worldwide travel adventure starting in December 2025.
"To introduce myself, my name is Julia. I completed a training program as a media technologist specializing in screen printing, or simply put, a screen printer. Afterwards, I shifted my focus to animal welfare, working at a wildlife sanctuary for three years and then at an animal shelter, primarily with cats. To finance my world trip, I have been working as a package and mail delivery person for Deutsche Post since 2025. I would be thrilled to learn more about animals and animal welfare during my travels, as it is my dream profession."

About me, Mats: As a passionate dancer and producer of electronic music, I have a flair for the creative and artistic. Following my six-month stint in the German military, I work in the school administration department of the city council, which is why I also value order and structure. Fortunately, a sabbatical has made this upcoming adventure possible. I see this world trip as an opportunity to dive into the many facets of life. Along the way, I want to get to know people and their stories, as well as learn from their experiences.

This was our sixth Workaway, and we are very satisfied. The tent was comfortable. Mariglen always ensures there is enough food, and if you need anything, it gets brought back from town. The work was varied and not actually difficult, though it could be very tough at times when working in the sun.

Laissé par l'hôte (Permaculture, natural ...) pour le workawayer ()

Julia and Mats stayed with us for about two weeks. This time they helped us very much. They transplanted seedlings, did some weeding, broke almond shells, strained some wood ash, made strawbales manually using our compressing machine, harvested beans, and helped a lot in the spring tidy up of our farm. This last job was very demanding and chaotic … read more and they managed to do it carefully and efficiently. Everything they did was done with effort, and efficiency. They managed every task they were given without breaking any tools or hurting themselves.. They operate greatly as individuals, as a team and as assistants. They are quiet, clean and always tried to give us feedback for the things they liked. They spent some time with our daughter mainly playing cards and it seemed like everyone was having a good time.
From the beginning we encouraged them to express their needs and they did so. So they choose what times they want to work, they asked for an extra pillow and blankets and hot water bottles and we happily provided those for them. Sometimes they expressed needs that exceeded our limits and for us fulfilling them would abuse our needs. So they asked to leave two days earlier than agreed. They asked to be granted a piece of clothing we lent to them for work only. Also they asked us to leave feedback for them before they even left the farm. Finally other requests that we will not mention so this feedback remains relatively short. All those requests brought us discomfort. In some cases we were taken by surprise from the indiscreetness and accepted only to regret later. In one case we refused and realized later that our refusal was ignored and had to go through the great discomfort of asking back again what we had already refused.
Julia told us at the beginning that her English level is low but never again did she say "sorry can you repeat that because I didn't understand" We guess that she was constantly depending on Mats later explanation if she ever did so, or just pretended she understood. This lowered the whole level of communication.
Even though they said that they care about farming and they wish to learn so that they will one day start their farm, they never asked a single practical question and they showed minor care for what is happening here. In their free time they never interacted with the farm in any way.
Overall we feel like Julia and Mats came here for some kind of "work therapy"and not for a "learn through doing" experience. This resulted in a great deal of work being done but this is not really our goal with workaway as we state it clearly in our profile. It's no surprise for us that this cooperation has brought us great discomfort.
So if you are a host that has a lot of work to be done and is willing to give back more than he/she usually does, invite them.
We really hope that they will rethink their approach to the workaway experience and stop working too much and ask for too much in exchange, or to find hosts that are more compatible with their approach.

Our volunteer experience with Peggy, Andreas, and their daughter was truly wonderful. We learned a lot during our stay, especially about permaculture, food, and human connection/community life.
Since we didn’t have our own van, we stayed in the tent they kindly provided. The mattresses were comfortable, and whenever it got too cold, they offered … read more

My stay at this farm in Malaysia was an overall amazing experience. Everyone there was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, which made me feel at home right away.
I had plenty of opportunities to learn about farm life, their way of living, and their beliefs, which was both interesting and enriching. At the same time, there was also … read more

Mats and Julia stayed with us as volunteers and quickly became part of our daily life. They helped us in everything – cooking, cleaning, and taking care of our child with kindness and patience. They were always ready to help and worked with a happy heart.
They are also very good at communicating, which made living and working together very easy … read more
