Description
At the moment I live in Hamburg, a quite big city in northern Germany. I have just finished my Bachelors degree in german sign language and educational science and am looking forward to fulfill one of my biggest dreams, travelling across Canada. From August 2017 to August 2018 I'm going to travel from Vancouver to St. Johns and I'm really exited to meet some great new people and have new experiences on my way.

As I spent a lot of time at my grandparents farm near the danish border, I love beeing surrounded by nature more than skyscrapers and I have absolutely no problems with getting my hands a little dirty. During my time at university I worked in an online marketing department for a company that produces and sells medical diagnostic systems and therefore have developed a "lucky hand" with computers, electronic devices and internet questions.

In my freetime I have been practising martial arts for some years and have recently started learning more about photography. I also appreciate reading a good book or watching a good movie and seriously value good conversations and a nice evening on a campfire over a night out in the clubs.
I am a very responsible person, that doesn't do drugs and alcohol only in limits. Furthermore, I think that respect and honesty are very important especially in a "workaway-relationship" to make sure it's going to be a great experience for everyone and there are no misunderstandings causing any bad feelings about or during the stay. I appreciate an open word and an easygoing, openminded company. It would be great to find hosts, that have equal expectations on the workaway experience we might share.

Lara was always engaging and fun to have with us. She attended to her work tasks in a prompt and responsible manner. She enjoys cooking contests and has surprise recipes that top the rest of us. Thanks for spending some time at our farm Lara and we wish you good travel times.

I had a great time at the farm and would recommend staying here without hesitation. Because they have only one room but I was the second helper, I stayed close by at Jennifers parents house. Everyone was very nice and welcoming from the first moment on and splitting my time was no problem at all. Much of the work included weeding and planting… read more

Lara and her sister Lena were exceptional workawayers! Despite the truly horrid April weather they plugged along helping us with the really important work that comes in early spring - baby animals, clean-up, composting, maintenance, garbage et. We hadn't taken volunteers so early before but found them to be extremely valuable help. We miss you!… read more

My sister and I stayed 2,5 weeks at the farm and it was an amazing time! Communication was great at all times, Linda and Tony are very organized in their daily work and with the helpers so it's very nice working with them. We have been welcomed so openhearted and felt very comfortable from day one. We were very lucky and had the chance to work… read more

Sam and Catriel were my last minute heroes. Sam got back to me very quickly and communication was very clear and without misunderstandings during my whole stay. The house is very cosy and eventhough you sleep quite deep in the room without window it's a nice and spacious room for a longer stay. The work was never too much and I could organize the… read more

I had a great 4 weeks at Marla and Ricks farm, with a lot of experiences, fun and adventure. I mostly worked with Rick or alone, feeding the animals and with other farm chores. Some days there is more work, some days there is less and on the weekends we often went for a drive to a town or whatever was on. The two are working really hard and try to… read more

Lara is a very organized and hard-working person who is always ready to help

Over the course of her stay Lara performed variety of chores including housekeeping, removing snow, cooking, providing customer service to groups of guests of up to 60 people and many other jobs. She is a team player who never let me down and performed all tasks assigned… read more

I spent 3 weeks in this wonderfull place and really enjoyed every minute of it. Christmas and new years were quite busy with tour busses but we were a great team at that time and had a lot of fun working and doing trips together in our free time. We even enjoyed the work at -20 degrees. Jan the manager made sure we had a very good time and… read more

Unfortunately I could only stay 2,5 weeks with Debbie and Jim, but in that time we had a lot of fun! The work was not too much, we even managed to do the 3 days decorating pretty well. Deb and Jim really tried to involve me in their life and invited me to several christmas partys they attended, took me out for dinners and a beer at the pub. I had… read more

Lara fit in with our home very well! She was an excellent helper and took everything in stride, including 3 days solid of decorating our house for Christmas! We would host her again in a heartbeat!

Best workaway host ever.. I was there for 4 weeks and I had so much fun! The whole team is super nice and always willing to help and make your stay as great as possible. Communication and organisation went perfectly, very easy and even if there was a question you would immediately find an open ear to talk about it. Even when one of us got really… read more

I stayed with George and Nicki for nearly two weeks and the time just flew by. The kids and grandkids were visiting at that time so the house was pretty busy and lots to do. Work was mostly outside like weeding in the vegetable garden, picking blackberries, apples and pears or cutting some bushes. The property is huge and has a wonderfull view to… read more

Forest is such a nice, friendly and welcomig host and despite his rustic living he always tried to make sure that we had all the comfort we needed. So if you are fine with basic living with less luxuries you will have a great time there. Work included lots of berry picking, carrying some firewood and helping at some friends' projects.
