Descrição
Hey there! I am Helene, I live in Switzerland and I am 30 years old. I am in the middle of a sabbatical year from Summer 2024 until Summer 2025. The first three months I was in the Swiss mountains and helped in a little restaurant, because that is something I always wanted to do. After that I travelled to Greece and Sicily, where I made great Workaway-experiences and learned a lot for example about the olive harvest. Now I am really looking forward to exploring the other part of Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal, ...) and Morocco , seeing new countries and landscapes, learning new skills, making new experiences, getting to know new cultures and ways of living and meeting new people. I think, Workaway is a great possibility for doing that and at the same time doing something useful and helping out.
I am a rather quiet, but friendly, reliable, curious and open-minded person, who is also motivated to learn new things.I like being in nature, I am interested in sustainability, I am fond of animals and I don't mind working hard and helping with everything, that comes around.

Quais são suas habilidades?
Since I was about 12 years old, horses are a big part of my life. I started taking riding lessons and soon I spent a lot of my free time in the stable and was helping out. It always wasn’t just about riding but more about being with horses and spending time with them. I helped during the vacation programs with the children and in the regular riding lessons. I had horses that I was taking care of and since I was 18, I had two old horses, that before worked in the riding lessons. I learned a lot from both of them and I tried to find out, what they need to be happy and healthy for as long as possible. Now I don’t have an own horse anymore, but I’m taking care of some. I would be keen to help out with taking care of horses and other animals (I grew up with a cat and a dog, and a lot of love for wild animals like hedgehogs, birds etc. in the garden ;-)) and to share my experiences and also learn more about it.
I also like to keep my plants, herbs, flowers and vegetables flourishing on my balcony. But here I just taught my skills myself, so there is a lot of room for improvement and I would also like to learn more about working in a garden or on a field.
In general, I like to work/ make things with my hands and craft or just be creative.

Helene stayed with us on our Land for two weeks and took on many of the tasks that come up in everyday life here. I explained everything to her once at the beginning – after that, she carried out the work independently and with great care.

Together with Emma, she helped get our guest kitchen back in shape – thoroughly, with structure, and a lot… read more

I spent 2 weeks on the Finca of Michael and Emma and the time flew by so fast. I felt welcomed and comfortable from the beginning and it is a great and special place to stay. There was another workawayer there too, which was great, so we could cook, eat and spend some of the free time together. The work was varied and I learned a lot of new and… read more

Helene was a great Workawayer and our first one, too - so it will be VERY difficult for the next ones :-)
She joinned in our Apartment for 2 weeks and helped us to work in the olive yard, burned branches and worked really hard to collect the olives. She was very interested in everything around our olive yard and the production of high quality… read more

I spent about two weeks at the place of Tobias and his family for the olive harvest at the beginning of November. During this time I lived in the nice appartment at their place with a beautiful view down to the sea and Kalamata. I was the only workawayer, but there were also friends of the family, who helped with the harvesting too. Tobias and his… read more

Helene stayed with us for two weeks during the olive harvest. It was a big harvest, and she worked hard for long hours in the very warm weather. Her quiet, hard working nature made it easy for everyone in the harvesting group to get along with her. Helene shared the yurt with Julie, another Workaway helper, and to us it seemed that they had a good… read more

I stayed with Eva and Kornelius for two weeks during the olive harvest season in October. It was my first workaway experience and it more than fulfilled my expectations.
From the beginning I felt very welcomed and comfortable, because they were so kind, attentive, generous and helpful. I lived in a very nice yurt together with another volunteer… read more
