Description

I'm Tessa, from the south of England and now part time resident in Germany.

I come from a small village and a family that is connected to agriculture. I love the countryside and try to stay informed about the issues faced by rural and farming communities.

I have a background in dance, theatre and singing, and had lots of different experiences performing and studying since I was quite young. 'The arts' in general are really important to me - all kinds of music, crochet, embroidery, literature, trying out new things, either doing it myself or appreciating the talents of others!

In recent years I worked on a flower farm, at a campsite, alongside my Dad running a Christmas tree business, and making pizzas at festivals. I have experience with kids, dogs, teaching dance and movement, food and hospitality, cleaning and a little bit of event organising. I'm interested in learning more practical skills like working with wood, building and repairing things, and all aspects of agriculture.

I'm qualified to teach Mat Pilates and I'm especially into functional movement, mobility and the importance of keeping our mind-body connection strong and healthy. Also starting to learn about somatic practices, the effects of different types of movement on our nervous system, and trying to tie it all into my deep love of dancing.

Generally I have quite a DIY outlook on life, I think autonomy is cool and so is being considerate of those around you. I enjoy solitude, I do my best thinking while going for a walk by myself, and I always have a project to keep myself occupied. Under the right circumstances I am very chatty, I like to get to know people through talking with them.

Tessa was a surprise guest and at the beginning she did not tell me how long she was going to stay. Luckily she and I got along very well, and also with the other workers, so finally she stayed until she had to go back to England. I liked very much the way she was doing the horse work, and evrything else I could ask her, I could trust that it was … read more

I enjoyed spending two weeks here in November/December. Elke is an experienced host and the expectations for work, helping with household chores and sharing her home were clear from the start. She also encouraged us to always ask for more detail if we were unsure about something and patiently answered many questions, so I always felt confident in … read more

Tessa was an absolute gem during her stay, caring for our home and animals with unwavering dedication and attention to detail. From feeding our pets to maintaining the house, she exhibited a level of responsibility and care that truly put us at ease while we were away. Her positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond exceeded our … read more

I was a house and animal sitter for this lovely family for a few days. I spent a couple of days with them before they left for their trip. Cynthia was instantly welcoming and made it easy to feel at home, she is a very motivated and open minded person. Her daughters are sweet and polite, and I enjoyed trying to speak German with them. I was … read more

I spent three weeks at the campsite towards the end of the summer season, working first in the kitchen and then the cafe. Everyone was very welcoming, easy to talk to and supportive. I had so many nice and interesting conversations with everybody there at one point or another. Sometimes it is super busy, but the atmosphere is still friendly and I … read more

Tessa came to help us with our harvest and was our first workawayer. She communicated well pre-arrival and is a very good worker, has good initiative and is well motivated. She's interesting to talk to and very helpful around the home too, including keeping our toddler daughter entertained at times.

(Très bien)

Tessa was helping out in my place during the summer,
it was very nice having her around. She is very respectful, easy going and with great positive attitude to work and learn.
I enjoyed her company and help and so does the others who stayed here at the time.
Thanks alot! hope you'll come back again some day!

I'm really late in leaving this feedback...I'm sorry! I'm very happy that this was my first workaway experience. The place is beautiful, and Bob/Or has a clear passion and love for his land, his local community and his values all of which he shared. He also provided everything I (and my fellow volunteer) needed, and made sure that we felt … read more

Tessa's stay was short but sweet, but we packed a lot in... she was always ready and able to get fully involved with everything , be it working on construction, the garden, or acting and jamming...

A pleasure

I had such a lovely experience at Jack's place although it was so brief - he is clearly very dedicated to the principles of community and sustainability and I could see ideas and values that I want to continue learning about in my own life. He was happy to show me around his veg garden and explain to me about the land around the area, other local … read more
