Description
Hi, my name is Milli (:
I'm 21 years old, from Germany and for the last year I have been travelling trough Europe to find out where I want to settle down one day to start my own self-sufficiency/off-grid project. Right now I'm back home for a while to work, but will continue my journey in March this year.

My goal is to get to know the different cultures and people of the countries I visit and learn as much as possible about living without electricity and running water, (natural) building, gardening... I'm particularly interested in permaculture right now!

My first workaway experience was when I started solo travelling at the age of 16 and it became my favourite way of making new friends all around the globe while helping amazing people and getting to see the world at the same time!
I'm very happy to get my hands dirty where ever help is needed and I can definitely work way harder than I might look!!

I feel very connected to nature and I love animals more than anything else.
Listening to stories, writing and of course travelling are my next three favourite things!
In my sparetime I go hinking and wild camping with friends, go for walks with the dogs or work in our garden.
I also like to just relax for a moment to meditate, read a good book or listen to music.
Recently I decided to use my creativity more and started to teach myself how to play the ukulele and how to draw with water colours and making jewellery, which I all will be bringing with me. (:

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have very good dog experience, because of two own dogs (german shepherd-mix and pinscher-mix) and my mum's dog grooming salon. I'm experienced in raising and teaching dogs from a young age.
I've generally always been really good with animals! (:

A few years ago I had a garden project on a little piece of land at my old school grounds, where I used to plant vegetables and fruits and also built a shed and a big greenhouse with friends. Unfortunately we had to give it away after two years when we left the school, but I already got good experience in gardening, planting and cultivation.
I designed and built the chicken coop in our garden by my own, so I have basic construction skills.

At my workaway stay in summer 2017 I got the chance to learn how to do Reiki, so if you're interested in that I'm very happy to give you a treatment.

Since I started doing workaway when I was 16 years old, I made serveral experiences, most about 4-10 weeks, on different types of farms (self-sufficient, CSA, sheep and an olive farm), an alternative camp site, a buddhist centre, a little permaculture project and an ecological retreat, which I all loved!

hey it's me! :D

hiking and sleeping in the mountains with old friends and a new friend who visited me after we met at a workaway stay (: that's why I love workaway so much!

if you ever feel disconnected from yourself, a barefoot hike will surely help (:

If you want to learn how to live a sustainable, off-grid life in terms of electricity and water (not food), this is the place to go.
Almost all of the days I worked at David's place, I cut/collected branches and dried plants from various places on and around the property and carried them to the house to shred them. It wasn't the most diverse and… read more

I spent 1 1/2 months at the Farm in the beginning of the year. It's in a beautiful area, surrounded by mountains and a river nearby.
The 5 other volunteers and me stayed during a very unique time period.

I'm so happy I got to stay at this beautiful quinta! It was extremely inspiring to see what Joana and Mario were able to create in such a short time already. The work is scheduled in the beginning of each week, so everybody knows what to do. Still, the jobs were pretty diverse, from installing a watering system in the garden over organizing the… read more

Thank you Milly so much for coming by and for helping us out during the busy harvest period. Milly is a lovely person - always ready to help and eager to learn new things. She happily undertook everything asked of her and always showed initiative. She helped to collect pears and apples and to transform them into chutney and compote. She collected… read more

I was lucky enough to be accepted to help at Liza's little permaculture paradise very last minute. Unfortunately I could only stay 10 days, but that was enough to experience what a beautiful place this is. Liza as well as her friend Kevin are such lovely people!!
There was usually a variety of jobs to do each day, depending on the weather and how… read more

Milli helped in many ways during her stay. She works really carefully and is a calm and happy person to have in the community. She is able to help in many areas and was reliable in everything that she did. We would be delighted to have Milli return and wish that she could have stayed longer.

I stayed here for three weeks and I wish I could have stayed longer.
At first I felt like I won't like the fact that there are so many volunteers at once, but I quickly discovered that it's amazing since we grew together like a big family and I already miss every single one of them! Also all the residents and people who work here permanently are… read more

Milli stayed with us for 6 weeks, she is a very nice person, always polite and our guests have all mentioned her in their positive reviews of our place. Which is great as it means Milli helped to make their stays enjoyable and was an asset to our retreat. She does her jobs well and does her hours without having to check up on her, which for us as… read more

I spend the most beautiful 6 weeks with Annie, Adam and their absolutely lovely animals. It only took a few days until I already felt at home in „my“ cosy little green caravan. Adam and Annie always let you know how much they appreciate your help, so the often quite physical work (which I always enjoyed) almost felt like just helping friends! (: I… read more

Melissa came towards the end of the season and we spendt a good time together. She was a good worker and she did all the work well. She was also good in getting around and see a bit of the area too. The weather was not always the best but Melissa enjoyed working barefoot no matter what, quite impressive!

My four weeks on this beautiful farm went by way too fast, I would go there again anytime (and I hopefully will really do one day)!! I always enjoyed the work, like weeding (you’ll be weeding a lot :D), feeding the pigs, fencing , catching lambs and more. There are plenty things to learn and you can do many great hikes in the beautiful… read more

Milli was here when she was only 16 and we were first unsure if she would be much of a help. It turned out that she was not only a very talented gardener but was also very interested in our activities around our small holding and self sufficient lifestyle. Welcome back at any time!

This family are the perfect first workaway-experience, the only "problem" is, after staying there you won't want to go anywhere else.
Actually I wanted to stay for three weeks, but I stayed a few days longer, not only so I was able to see the newborn piglets of Rosa, but also because I just didn't want to leave.
Even if three weeks were much to… read more
