Description
Hey there, Pippa here!

I´m 31 years old, come from the very west of Wales but have been living in Berlin for the past 8 years, 3 years of them spent working with children.
I love the contrast of living in a dynamic,crazy and buzzing city but then escaping to the rural countryside to breathe in the fresh wet air.
The time has come where the road has been calling and I want to leave structure, work and city life behind and hit the road, smelling the long-awaited sense of freedom that comes with traveling. I have always had the curiosity to engage and immerse whilst exploring different places and whenever I have had holidays, I like to run away and do 'Workaway Projects'. I have been to some including in the Czech, Poland, Hungary and Croatia.

My greatest pleasures in life are the simple things...always open to meeting new people/learning about new cultures, experimental cooking of different cuisines, cycling, visiting abandoned places and sometimes painting.
I think that it is important to be aware of the world around us and believe that adaptation and change are vital components towards the cycle of life.
I want to learn new skills, make strong social connections and get a grasp of as many languages as possible!

Good communication skills, highly motivated and work well as part of a team.

I have experience working with children....I also love to cook, bake, creative tasks but I also yearn to have a grasp of craftwork (i.e. carpentry) + embrace the wisdom of the plant world. I also love doing yoga, painting and learning how to play guitar & sing in my free time.

Spent a lovely two weeks here with Mark and his family, who are all very friendly, attentive and keen to include& welcome you into their family life. You don´t really feel like a guest from the outside world here, rather they come with open arms to involve you in family life as if it were the natural course...which i really appreciated! ; )… read more

Felippa did a great job. She's a very engaged and kind person and we are all very sad when she left. SHe was great with kids, strong working, cooking, helpful whenever she was asked... or even without being asked. Thank you so much. Come back!

Although only a short stop for me here, it sure felt like a home for me for the 2 weeks. I was welcomed with such open arms and love...I have never felt so comfortable so quickly in any other place before! Alex has something special brewing and it´s beautiful to see that it is a safe home for some very special characters. The work is not so… read more

I spent two weeks here and gained the most important knowledge I could have wished for. Roeland and Milady are such inspirational hosts with so much to offer. They carry such calm attitudes and it was great to have a structure to the day, where everyone had a role to play. Although such a short stay, you really felt part of something and felt very… read more

Filippa spent a week with us and was an excellent volunteer. She's friendly, positive and always smiling. She helped on our program by participating in speaking sessions, games and activities and was always full of energy. A highly recommended volunteer!

I had a great experience voluteering up in the Polish mountains near Krakow and was surrounded by some beautiful scenery. The hotel was very homely and we were offered a substantial amount of Polish food!
The co-ordinators were very helpful and friendly, along with all the other volunteers. What I found most inspiring were the children who… read more

Filippa stayed at the station for a couple of weeks at the end of Autumn. She was really fun and added a lot of energy to everything that was going on around the place. While at the station Filippa helped out with a lot of different tasks, painting a flat, as well as working in the gardens, helping with building small pallet gardens. Cooking,… read more

Although a very late feedback from my side...I still have the most fond memories from my short stay with Jam at the station!
Jam is an amazing host, providing homely food and always has some odd jobs to be done, meaning there's always something interesting to do!
Jam took us out on trips in the evening, after a days work, which means you get to… read more
