Description
My name is Wilmien. I am a digital nomad.
I have my own engineering business and therefore a flexible schedule. I work online most of the time and sometimes I travel to sites for work. I started my WorkAway journey in 2020, doing it full-on for 3 months. I absolutely loved it! When Covid hit, I had to go home (South Africa) where I started an office-bound job as an automation engineer. In March 2024 I quit my job and started my own thing. I really enjoy the flexibility thereof. I have a passion for travelling and meeting people from all over the world and exploring new places.

I am a hard-working, active, motivated person. I really enjoy the outdoors, trail running, hiking, cycling, playing golf or tennis (all kinds of sports actually) and I also love children! I am the eldest of 7 children. My youngest sibling is 6 years old. I have loads of experience with child care and house chores. I also enjoy cooking and helping my father on the farm or in the nursery when I am at home.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have a passion for sports and children! I've played individual and team sports practically my whole life and some even on regional and provincial level. I have younger siblings, as mentioned in my 'Profile Description', so I love playing with kids and doing active and fun things with them. I have a lot of patience and I believe that I have inherited a great teaching ability from my mom (who is a primary school teacher).

I grew up on a farm. My dad is always busy with some kind of DIY style eco- or organic project. I enjoy helping him with that and being outdoors.

Autres infos...
When I am not busy studying, jogging, cycling, hiking in the beautiful mountains of Stellenbosch or on the golf course, I enjoy playing guitar or cooking for/with my flatmates. I also have a few bonsai trees that I am nursing. I'd like to believe that am quite adventurous, enjoy trying new things and learning as much as possible. I love exploring new places, planning trips to some mountain hut or beach spot with friends. My close-to-heart quite is "Carpe Diem" so I try to make the most of every day.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Share family life, exchange ...)

I had a great time at Bruno and Christelle's place. I only stayed for one week. I wish I could stay longer but I had to leave for my next visit in Germany. My tasks included mainly speaking English with them (and the kids) to help them practise the language. I also helped with basic things, like cleaning inside the house. Unfortunately it rained… read more

I had a great time staying at Pat and Sophie's. I stayed in a beautiful self catering cottage (gîte) next to their house with a fellow WorkAwayer from Argentina. Our job mostly entailed cleaning the family house and the big gîte, as well as cutting grass, stacking wood for the fireplace and occasionally cooking and playing with the kids, Patrick… read more

Wilmien was a fantastic workaway she helped us clean our houses, cut grass, packed wood, cooked food and did babysitting. She is hard working and very friendly and we highly recommended her to anyone! She introduced us to beautiful Afrikaans music and new Uno rules.

Wilmien stayed at our place in January 2020, for 2 weeks. She was like a family member to us! We loved her being around, she is relaxed and easily satisfied hahaha. True. But we laughed about this many times, so now I laugh too ;-) I hope we will meet up again with Wilmien before she leaves for South Africa at the end of March. She is more than… read more

This was my first WorkAway experience and what a treat! DC and Krista were very accommodating, open and friendly. They went the extra mile to make it an enjoyable experience for me. We had good communication right from the start and all the way throughout.
I had minor tasks to do, including sand papering and repainting the window frames in the… read more
