  • Descrição

    Hi, A "little novel" .. about my adventurous journey that has been going on for over 1200 days now .. 🧡💛💚💙💜🌷🌞🎵🎶 ...
    This "little novel" includes all the stations I've given a helping hand to during my trip so far, or somewhere "just spent time" .. so not all stations were at the "workaways host."
    That’s why it’s good to follow my travel schedule, because I record every step I take in this “little novel…” ...
    I know this "novel" form here is not general / not ordinary / not average ..but I'm not average either .. (in fact! .. I could say special / unique .. because only 1 copy was made of me .. hahaha ... ) ..😉😃 😁😜 😎🌷 🌞 🎵 🎶🎵🎶 ...
    I am Gigi, extremely creative, helpful, cheerful, playful, kid, nature and animal friendly.
    I’ve been working on my own home-design project for many years, which has reached the threshold of implementation, but that sleazy threshold is a little hard to cross.
    As I planned to carry out the project with a Dutch company, I left Sweden for a long time and, as a first step, spent 108 days at the airbnb accommodation near the company in North Rhine-Westphalia (Nettetal).
    But this intention was made completely impossible by the epidemic.
    It was then that I decided to carry out the project in Spain while extending my helping hands as a worker / volunteer.
    For accommodation and meals and / or pocket money, I offer several hours of useful work in Europe so that I can put my daily renewable energy to good use.
    In this way, we can make each other's lives happier, easier and more smiling with mutually beneficial solutions.😀🌷🌞
    I speak Hungarian and Swedish ..
    I speak little, but I understand more English and I express myself well with my hands and feet ..😉😃 😁😎 ..
    And there is another language: music and dance .. that connects everyone .. wherever we are live in the world ..🧡 💛 💚💙💜 🌷🌞🎶 🎶
    I am a vegan and I use eco-friendly solutions .. I don't smoke .. I rarely drink alcohol .. but when we celebrate I happily raise my glass with a fine wine ... 😉😀🌷🌞
    I'm not a cook type .. (I've spent 43 years in a marriage / long relationship .. so: I've had 3 husbands for this job so far .. hahahahaha) .. but don't worry, we won't stay hungry.. never ..) 😃😁 😉😂🤣 🧡💚 💙 🌷 🌞🌷🌞
    From December 5, 2020, I was in Axel, a wonderful Dutch town, where I helped Chris work around the house.
    For example, as a first test, we renovated the bathroom, repainted the tiles and windows.
    I made the various storage rooms of the 250 sqm house practical and easy to use.
    I dug a garden, planted plants, pruned ..
    I cleaned the beautiful stone paving of the yard with high pressure water.
    We rearranged the spaces, carried and carried this and that ...
    The furniture has been polished, painted and refurbished.
    I cleaned a lot of doors and windows.
    I repainted the stairs leading upstairs and the extremely meticulously decorated railings.
    I painted wall surfaces of many shapes and sizes.
    I completely repainted the little house in the garden from the outside.
    I also repainted the wooden structure of the 2 terraces of the main building and cleaned the roof of the terrace of shoots overgrown with wild grapes.
    I cleaned the top of the hen house from the leaves and branches that had accumulated over the years ...
    I cut hedges and bamboo regularly.
    We constantly beautified our environment and admired the results of my work, the many kinds of flowering plants, the fruit trees that bring a lot of fruit.
    Every day we walked a big one with the host’s tiny chivava dog, who at first sight became a big love .. ♥ ♥ ♥
    We did a minimum of 1000 km with the little Princess Pip ... ♥ ♥ ♥ 🐶🐾🐾
    So it was a big challenge, I did a lot of spectacular and useful work, so after more than 7 months (222 days) I continued my journey with satisfaction and a pure heart .... 🧡💚💙🌺 🌻🌷🌞
    The next stop on my way is Ghent, Belgium, from July 14 ...
    At Thomas, a young clothing designer in a wheelchair, my work began in the garden ...
    The approx. I cut nettles, weeds and other weeds grown to a minimum height of 1 meter in a 50 sqm garden.
    My work continued by weeding the joint joints in the outdoor tiles and then cleaning them with a high-pressure water jet.
    Then I conjured up brilliant cleanliness for every square foot of the apartment.
    I cleaned huge glass surfaces, doors and windows.
    I cleaned the tiles, furniture, floor.
    I took it off, washed it and put the curtains on.
    After daily work we went downtown a few times and admired the sights of Ghent.
    Thomas his nervously extremely unstable therefore the work ended unexpectedly on July 24 .....🤔😉🙃😳😱🥶🙄😰
    Nevertheless, I am satisfied with my own activities and I left this accommodation with a pure heart ... 🌷🌞
    I then spent more time in a hostel from where I moved to Ostend with a good friend.
    Due to an unexpected incident (surgery), I spent 1 week in the hospital and then returned to my boat friend to gather strength to move forward while clearing everything inside the boat and helping my friend Marcell renovate the exterior of the boat.
    After more than 1 month, my fantastic adventure with my boat friend ended ... 🧡💛💚💙💜🚤⚓️🌷🌞
    I arrived in Tienen on 10 September.
    And I helped a super family with tasks related to their one and a half year old girl and 2 fantastic dogs .. ♥ ♥ ♥ 🐶🐾🐾🐾 🐾 🌷🌞
    I helped with the housework every day and brought home the little girl from the nursery with whom we played a lot and really liked each other.🧡💛💚💙💜❤️😘🌷🌞🎵🎵
    We did 5-10-20 km a day with the 2 dogs, depending on the weather.
    We explored huge areas, played fantastic games, ran, played happily .. ♥ 🐶🐾🐾🐾 🐾
    The family planned to work together for the long term, but due to family problems, this wonderful adventure ended after 3 months.
    So my fantastic adventure in Belgium lasted a total of 5 months..🧡💛💚💙💜❤️❤😘😘😘🌷🌞🍀🎵🎵
    I arrived in France on December 12 ... 🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
    I spent 1 week at an Airbnb accommodation in medieval Saint-Broing-les-Moines, which was almost completely depopulated .. (about 100 people live there ..) ..
    I walked huge every day, touring every corner of the small town.
    This place was a very special feeling I had never experienced before.
    No shop .. no restaurant .. no community life .. it was a terribly exciting, strange adventure .. ..🤔😉🙃😳😱🥶🙄😰😉😀❤️🧡💛💚💙🌷🌞
    On December 19 I arrived in Semur-en-Auxios with a very nice Hungarian family, where I help with tasks related to 3 children (8-6 years old and 15 months old) ...
    And I help with various house renovations and maintenance, garden work ... 🧡💛💚💙🌷🌞
    In the meantime, a bedroom, an 11-meter hallway and a laundry room have been renovated with my help.
    All three rooms had very old wallpaper in several layers, which we removed / scraped off the walls with great effort.
    This was followed by puttying the walls ..after sanding the walls .. finally multi-layer painting of the walls ..
    This work was accompanied by terrible dust and dirt ... but the result is fantastic .. stunning sight .. brilliant cleanliness everywhere ...
    My task after the renovation work, the cleaning continued ...
    In the corridor ! 12 doors ! I cleaned it with a wood preservative treatment.
    This was followed by the cleaning of the wooden shutters on the ground floor with 5 (double-leaf) doors and 5 windows.
    These shutters (!!) have 2320 narrow slits (!!) .. both sides of the shutters need to be cleaned ... but look for practical tools ... (there is hardly anything .. but eg your fingers are there ... hahaha .. .) ..meanwhile it's February .. the wind is blowing .. it's cool .. it's raining .. but the weather has never been pleasant ... due to the rapidly cooling water and unpleasant weather my fingers are almost frozen .. so often I have to take a break from work ... which is a huge challenge anyway ..with great suffering ... but I did it .. hahahaha ... 😉😃 😁😜 😎🌷 🌞 🎵 🎶. .
    It was hard work to remove a lot of paint and dust from the stone pavement of the corridor ... (at 11 meters .. I rubbed, polished the stone .. I climbed the 11 meters on my knees twice until the stone floor was completely clean) ..
    Meanwhile, the host also painted the radiators.
    In the meantime, I often take care of 3 children and help with other jobs.
    The huge big house has a lot of work on 3 floors (about 100 sqm per level) ... but there is also a garden that requires regular maintenance ...
    The living area in the 3-storey house is about 200 sqm, which I keep cleaning.
    I am currently working on cleaning the 40 m long fence inside and out .. it is also a huge challenge .. similar to shutters .. (here are 358 plastic fence slats + support structure ... + columns .. 2 entrance gates .. ). . soul destroyer - boring work .. without the right tools ...
    Meanwhile, I clean the gravel driveway leading to the garage of plants growing among the gravel.
    And here's Mula the Kitten, who is in love at first sight.
    I also feed and take care of it most often ... 🧡💛💚💙💜
    We first agreed that my work here would last until the end of March… but I was asked to stay until the end of April… or at least until the family returned home from Hungary for the Easter holidays…
    Now this period is taking place…
    In the meantime, I wash and dry the clothes in the wonderful sunny weather..
    Before the family comes home, I do a thorough cleaning on the ground floor, where there are 3 rooms, a huge living room with dining area .. the 11 meter corridor .. the kitchen .. the laundry room .. the bathroom .. the toilet + beautiful stairs upstairs…
    And I also organize my own wardrobe, now I put the winter stuff at the bottom of the suitcases ...
    We did a lot of useful work during the 5 months we spent here…
    There was a lot of challenge and a lot of work during the time with the family - every moment is a fantastic experience…
    ..and the farewell is coming soon .. and I will continue my adventurous journey ...
    🧡💛💚💙💜🌷🌞🌷🌞🎵🎶🎵🎶
    And on the 20th of May I arrived at my next accommodation in Aizanville .. where I helped in the renovation and gardening of a more than 250 year old castle for 28 days..the place was both fascinating and depressing..
    The feeling is almost paradise..the once wonderful castle his condition is depressing..
    The pace of renovation is a race against time.
    As much as you renovate one side today, the condition of the other side will deteriorate by the same amount.
    Only 30 people live in the small village.. no shops, restaurants, community life.. the church is also closed.. the bells never ring.. a shocking experience..
    Once a week we went shopping by car to another village..
    In the course of my work, for example, I also cured very sick cassette window frames, in an almost perfect way.. but unfortunately, despite all my efforts, one work phase went very badly..
    It proved that the perfect puttying of small glass panes requires a lot of practice in addition to enthusiasm.. that's why I gave up this fight. ..this was the only challenge in my journey that ended in failure..
    The restoration of the blinds went well..
    In addition, I also had successful actions in the garden... for example, I made the garden fountain, once considered the beauty of the garden, but extremely neglected, usable again...
    Clearing the garden plantations and the area in front of the castle of weeds was also a tough challenge...
    Every day I picked up a large amount of weeds in the garden (with 2-3 wheelbarrows...) and carried them to the composter...
    Then I spread a layer of gravel on the area in front of the main entrance of the castle...
    In the meantime, I cleaned windows and doors of years of dirt... . so it was quite a challenge.. and I also had a sense of success..
    Happiness that I could live in this environment for almost 1 month...🧡💛💚💙💜🌷🌞🎵🎶
    On June 16, I will arrive in the Auvergne - Rhône - Alpes region, at my accommodation in Larajasse, about 50 km from Lyon, which lies between mountains and valleys, at an altitude of 750 m...
    Fantastic experience from the first moment... ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🎵🎶
    😉😃 🌺🌻🌷🌞🌷🌞🧡💚💙
    The place is amazing.. the huge complex of 3 houses was converted from an old water mill...
    One building is a residential building.. the other building is an Airbnb accommodation.. the third building is a concert hall.
    A small river runs through the big garden... and at the other end of the small bridge over the river is a lake...
    Ideal place for people and animals...❤️ ❤️
    Upon my arrival, the animals:
    2 cats.. 2 chickens.. 1 duck boy + 2 duck girls..❤️ ❤️❤️
    To our great surprise, on a wonderful summer morning, one of the duck girls appeared in our little river with 7 little yellow pom-pom babies.
    We just stood on the terrace and marveled...we couldn't believe our eyes...❤️ ❤️
    In the meantime, the ducklings grew... many wonderful events happened during that time... with many, many funny situations... with many, many laughs... ❤️❤️
    All around us are vast pastures... where herds of cattle live and roam freely from one place to another... (of course they also have a master... who controls the migration on the pastures...)
    In the meantime, loves are woven and babies are born...❤️ ❤️❤️
    Since I have been here, 12 baby cows have been born and are growing before our eyes.. ❤️❤️❤️
    A wonderful experience every day...❤️ ❤️❤️
    Since the distance between us is sometimes only 1-2 meters, I often talk to them... (also) and of course also to our animals...
    This is how they know my voice and come to me when I speak... sometimes they even answer... so we "discuss" the big things in life with each other.. hahaha...❤️ ❤️❤️ I love and love this wonderful place... 😉😃 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌺🌻🌷🌞🌷🌞🎵
    In the meantime, there is a lot of work going on...which we sometimes do together, but most of the time alone...
    My host is a fantastic creative lady.. visual artist .. painter .. and art school teacher ..
    3 of his 4 exceptionally talented children are already living their own lives.. the youngest is a high school student..❤️ ❤️❤️
    It is an extremely good feeling and extremely inspiring to live in the environment of a real.. experienced creative artist and help with the necessary work in the house or around the house.. or with the work related to the airbnb apartment.. or. participate in the creator's work for a longer period of time (e.g. illustrative materials.. preparatory models for art students..) ..❤️ ❤️❤️
    But it was also a fantastic experience to participate in the project when we renovated an old war memorial in the center of the village 4 km from the house...❤️ ❤️ ❤️
    The work lasted for 1 week.. and every day we biked 4 km back and forth on the mountain roads...❤️ ❤️ ❤️
    The work was done by three of us.. we walked up and down the three-story scaffolding while painting.. and repainted it.. we brought to life a beautiful public work.. which over the years turned into a monotonous gray.. this is an experience of a lifetime for me .. a wonderful memory.. .❤️ ❤️ ❤️
    It would be a huge list to list the work done in the last 15 months.
    The daily routine tasks differ according to the season.. e.g. in summer, the most important thing is watering and taking care of the plants in the greenhouse and in the garden.. .
    Workshops... concerts...
    The harvest .. the processing of the fruits later...❤️ ❤️❤️
    In the meantime, preparing for the winter season...: chopping lots of wood for heating with a tractor saw.. ❤️ ❤️❤️
    These are accompanied by challenges such as furniture renovation.. wall painting.. sewing with a sewing machine.. etc etc...❤️ ❤️❤️
    It's all very fitting work for me... I love it and I love it.. and it's always so much fun.. with lots of laughs.. ❤️ ❤️❤️
    And between friends/family meetings... parties.. trips .. exhibitions.. many, many wonderful experiences.. ❤️ ❤️❤️
    Our most outstanding joint work is a huge "mandala" project.. we worked on it for several months.. we collected leaves and flowers of various plants and dried them, pressed them.. and made more and more fantastic models based on the artist's ideas..
    We held workshops in 12 settlements of the region, at different locations (kindergartens.. schools.. libraries.. homes for the disabled.. homes for the elderly.. etc.), which were a fantastic success among the participants.. (from 3 years old to 96 years old...)
    We also carried out huge works on the outside.. we painted wonderful mandalas on the road on several kilometers of paths.. meanwhile we also renovated the rest benches and the surrounding area..
    We ended several months of work with a wonderful exhibition that attracted more than 1,000 visitors.
    ❤️ 😉😃🌷🌞🎵🎶
    The challenge/work here is continuous...
    But after 17 months I left this wonderful place and continue my journey..
    I arrived in Spain on the 24th of November to finally make my dream come true.. (that's why I left Sweden more than 3 years ago..) to create something amazing based on my own idea...
    While I'm happy to help the my first host in Spain with various jobs, in St. Miquel de Gonteres, to cheerfully make each other's lives simpler and easier....😉😃❤️ 🧡💚💙 🌺🌻🌷 🌞🌎🌞🌞 ..😉😃❤️ 🧡💚💙 🌺🌻🌷 🌞🌷🌞🎵🎶
