Description
My name is Kriska Liebenberg. I was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and still live in this beautiful country today. I have a South African father and a German mother. I completed my schooling at a German school and speak both English and German fluently. After completing my schooling, I studied Interior Design for four years. Following my studies I took a year off to travel through Europe and South East Asia. Over the past four and a half years I have been working full time for an Interior Design company - a position I have cherished and grown from. This year I have decided to turn my focus to traveling and experiencing new and thrilling things. My three favourite activities would be cooking (and eating), reading and hiking. My top three passions in life would be food, animals (and the environment) and travelling. I am an adventurous person with a happy persona and an eagerness to help out where possible and learn new things.

More details about your skills
After finishing my secondary education, I completed my degree in Interior Design and have worked in the Interior Design industry for more than three years. I can speak and write in three languages. I have worked in the sales industry and have experience in sales, brand knowledge and working with clients/ customers. I have grown up with a mother who loves to garden, working with vegetation and plants suits me well. At home we have been fortunate enough to have been blessed with numerous beautiful pets and I have previously helped at zoo's and at animal shelters, working with animals is something I love. I adore cooking and therefore am happy to help with any kitchen related tasks. I spend a lot of time reading, writing and listening to music, so I am open to aiding in most art-related duties. I exercise regularly, including beach visits and mountain hikes, and therefore also feel that I am well equipped for chores that include being physically active. I am inherently not a picky or fussy person and am therefore perfectly fine with helping with general maintenance and cleaning.

I arrived at the hostel as a stranger and left as a family member!

Joe, First, Stitch & Miley have an incredible home which they have lovingly opened up to travellers as a hostel. The work - which consisted of different shifts ranging from breakfast prep to bed changing to reception duty and more - was straightforward and well explained and the… read more

Kriska was an immediate help, having done some hostel work before, and quickly picked up a few new tricks. She’s naturally social, an early riser, and full of cool hobbies and interests! She loves exploring and trying new things, like morning Muay Thai classes. Watch out, would-be attackers!

Kriska is a bright soul, full of electricity - unlike… read more

This was one of my absolute favourite workaway experiences so far! The island is not the easiest or the cheapest to get to - but once you reach this place you truly arrive in a remote and rustic paradise! I absolutely loved working with Koi. She was one of the highlights of my time on Pulau Tuba. We would work in the mornings (duties included… read more

I had tons of fun volunteering for two weeks at Social Hostel. The community here - made up of friendly and helpful staff members as well as an incredible group of volunteers - is what made my time at the hostel so memorable. The tasks were straightforward and well explained. I was given bar duty - occasionally helping the bar at night or… read more

I had a great two weeks volunteering at the hostel. The hostel itself is spacious with numerous places to relax and a kitchen for cooking. The fact that the hostel is located close to two train stations was a definite bonus. My tasks revolved around cleaning the hostel and assisting with check-ins and check-outs. The tasks were not difficult and I… read more

I had a fantastic time at Shankari's Sanctuary. The sanctuary is a charming collection of old and beautiful structures engulfed in nature - located on a wonderful river and only a few minutes walk from the beach. The location is also great because it is away from the main touristy areas and allows you to experience a more authentic side of… read more

I will forever cherish my time at the Backpackers with Aini and Agus. From the moment I arrived Aini and Agus made me feel comfortable and welcome. I only stayed for a week but I could happily have stayed longer. My tasks included helping with breakfast prep as well as general reception duties such as assisting with check in/ out and responding to… read more

This was my first workaway experience and I had a truly wonderful time! I was warmly welcomed by the whole team, who were all responsible for making my two week stay so memorable. The environment of the hostel is very relaxed and easy-going and the tasks would vary from helping plan events to lending a hand with basic cleaning. It was my first… read more

My two week stay here was great! The hostel were clean, spacious and beautifully designed. The breakfast I was offered was diverse and tasty. During my stay I was responsible for social media. I found that even though I could have used a little more input, advice and guidance, the duties were interesting and creative. I most enjoyed contacting… read more

It was great having Kriska working with us. Although she stayed only for 2 weeks, she helped us a lot.
Thanks again
