Description
Hi there :)
My name is Lotte, I'm from the Netherlands and work as a sustainability advisor for the government and as a yoga teacher.
In 2017 and 2018 I volunteered in several eco building and farming projects in the USA, Canada and Australia. I volunteered at places for a month and did mostly building, art, farming activities and animal caretaking. This volunteering work changed my life. Not only because of the beautiful people I met and things I have learned, but also because I learned to listen to my heart.
I love to help, clean, cook, create, build en take care of animals and people.
People would say I'm social, kind, love to help others, take initiative, can work solo easily but also love working in a team, learn pretty fast and work hard.
In my spare time I love to do yoga, read, cook, hike, go to the sauna, make art and off course be with friends and family. And maybe good to know; I am a vegetarian. :)
I am looking forward to meeting you! :)

Lotte was with us for a month. She is very capable and took on all our projects with enthusiasm. She worked tirelessly on our roof, cutting and nailing the tongue and groove, she drove the bobcat and seived earth for the walls, she helped make our last rammed earth wall, and she cut brackets with the plasma cutter. She was happy to work… read more

What an amazing and inspiring project with wonderful people!
No matter where you're from, what you will do or what you will learn, staying with Stu & Miranda will be a memory for life. The beautiful nature with an almost 'African' scenery, the best outdoor shower you will ever have, the campfires, the outside cooking and sleeping under a sky full… read more

Lotte deserves the highest rating - and if there were 5 smileys, she would get them. She came as a stranger and left as a friend.
It was a wonderful experience to have Lotte here with us. She worked hard and completed every job set before her regardless of the task. Even after scheduled work was done she was willing to pitch in on household… read more

How to write a review if this place feels like a second home..?
This place is not only magical because of the nature, the house and the energy, but Erica and Susanne were like family to me.
From the first moment I arrived on the property I could completely be myself. They are wonderful people. They build this amazing creative place/community… read more

I stayed at Julie's place for 1,5 week instead the 3 weeks I had planned. Unfortunately this was not the place for me. Julie has a lot of rules, such as food rationing, and the energy was stressed and negative.
Julie is a kind person, but it doesn't really feel that she wants to connect with you. Her opinion is that you are there for the dogs… read more

Lotte was very kind to the dogs and could work hard when engaged. Unfortunately, she left 3 weeks earlier than planned due to concerns about structure that was created by past workawayers and has helped ensure a good routine for the dogs and organized activities with 4-6 workwayers. I felt that her focus at this time was more on social interaction… read more
