Descrição
I am a German, half Slovak, that grew up in Jordan, and now Studying in Interior Architecture in Mainz, Germany. Currently taking a Year off of studying to learn some skills in organic farming and permaculture since my parents just bought property in Jordan on which we want to start our own Permaculture Farm.

My biggest hope for this first year is to get to know new people, maybe learn a few new skills and and travel. I am open to any kind of work experience, may it be help build, renovate, garden, work on a farm, or clean/cook.

My studies in Interior Architecture do give me a basic knowledge in construction and renovation, but I still have a lot to learn.
I hope to one day be an expert in traditional clay building in the middle east and live on a farm with my own bees. But that is a far way off, and for now am open to new adventures.

Deixado pelo anfitrião (Help with building and live ...) para o Workawayer (Leyla)

It was such a pleasure to have Leyla stay with us for a couple of weeks! We really and enjoyed and appreciated having her in the house, and all felt very sad when we learned that, due to family reasons, she had had to leave earlier than planned.

In order to describe Leyla, I want to tell the story of our first meeting:
She had told us that she… read more would be arriving in the late afternoon with her own car. We had prepared food and had waited for her arrival. She did not turn up. We cleared up, the kids went to bed and we had also become tired, but she had still not arrived. I started to get impatient and guessed that it would become a “no-show-case”. Then the doorbell rang, and with my anger in my belly, I ran down to open the door. I was about to show my frustration towards her for making us wait so long, but when I saw her there my anger and impatience immediately melted away. She stood on the doorstep and apologized for her delay, explaining that she had had a very long ride and had had to sit through a lot of traffic along the way. Her soft, sincere, open, very warm and caring way of being was so striking that I felt instantly a total change in my feelings. My anger turned simply to gratefulness for the chance to host such a lovely person.

Not only I, but also the kids and the other workawayers liked her a lot. It is difficult to describe, but everyone just felt very comfortable and at peace around her.

Leyla is a very hard worker. She did not care at all about how long her working hours were. Her tasks here were mostly cooking and cleaning, and these tasks she completed spread throughout the entire day, taking breaks as and whens of her she needed them. The results of her work were astonishing! The house - especially the kitchen – have rarely been so clean before. Something that really makes her stand out from all the other workawayers who have stayed here is her magnificent cooking skills. I’m not just talking about being able to cook nice food. In the evenings, Leyla spent a long time researching recipes for which she could use the produce of our garden, so that she could create amazing meals which were always delicious.

Leyla has a very mixed and international background, which makes discussions rich and informative. Despite her young age, she has seen and experienced so much, which means she has a lot to share with others.
I also very much enjoyed her deep connection with art, music and culture in general. It is easy to sense that she was educated in different cultural skills like music, drawing, cooking and so on.
We all felt very sad when we learned that Leyla had had to leave before the planned date, due to family reasons.

Leyla - we really hope you are well and that we will meet again soon. The time spent with you was very special to us. You are a wonderful person and we hope that you soon will find the time to visit us again.
Thank you so much for everything.
