Description
Hey everybody! I am Chris from Vienna, Austria
I developed a lifestyle that lets me travel the world for quite a long time before needing to get back to a "normal" Job and life like this since quite a while now. As I love to connect with locals and explore their culture and how they live I often use workaway while travelling and had some of the most amazing experiences with it.
One of my biggest passions is to learn and explore the Flora and Fauna of the countries I travel to, while making Pictures and Youtube Videos about my adventures.
I am a Gardener and Landscaper who also has a lot of experience working in different environments now. 10+ years experience in this kind of Job and a lot of workaways like designing and planting a Garden in Corsica, working in Olive groves in Italy or the Côte d'Azur. My idea of gardening/landscaping is to try to plant mostly native and to create a garden which humans, insects, animals can enjoy together while preserving and boosting local ecosystems. Want to point out that I know how to safely work with a chainsaw, as this is a job most of my hosts were happy to have me for ;)
Also worked in 3 Mountain huts and one B&B, so there is experience in Hospitality, Barkeeping, being a waiter and taking care of guests, Housekeeping, maintain remote houses,...
Work experiences: Gardening/Landscaping, Driving, Hospitality, Gastronomy, Solartechnician

It's always a gamble sharing my home with a complete stranger, particularly when it's raining nearly every day and we can't go out and work. but as Chris had on-line projects of his own, it worked out very well. Only he could have gone for it and helped me reopen a very old trail that had been closed for over 40 years. It might have seemed… read more

It was lovely to have Christoph and Amy here for a while. They are a very interesting couple who have great stories to share about their extended travels. Christoph was an amazing help because he is skilled in pruning trees and has experience of using a chainsaw so these skills were put to good use as there was a lot of tree damage after the last… read more

Carol is an amazing generous and kind person, we were spoiled with great food, she even made separate vegetarian food for Amy, which is just amazing. We also found ways in which we can help on her property and the one of her daughter and help was a lot of fun and we hope we could help her!
All the best Carol, hope to see you again some time!

This was amazing. If you are looking for a unique experience, go there! We had a great time at the hut, work was more or less easy, despite the horses but I learned my lessons with them ;) It was great to meet the team, friends of them and also socialise with the guests. We also enjoyed disconnecting from this fast living world for some time and… read more

Cristoph was a priceless collaborator. He turned out to be an excellent pruner, in a few days he managed to prune two entire gardens, arranging poorly kept lemon and olive trees. It was nice to watch old classic movies together. It was always a pleasant company both in moments of work and relaxation. It is difficult to find competent people like… read more

Julia & Christoph spent some weeks on the farm. They did all their work quickly and reliably. The two tried very hard to complete all tasks in the best possible way and were very diligent. It was a pleasure to have them on the farm as support.
