Description
Hey possible future host-family, I'm Lena from Germany :-)
In 2018/19 I travelled for one year with workaway. I spend several months on a permaculture farm in Italy, planted microgreens in Cyprus or helped out in a Glamping-Project in Portugal. After one year of travelling I came back to Germany and started studying. Right now I finished my Bachelor degree in environmental enigneering and can't wait to travel again! My goal is to meet new people and learn about new cultures so I think working and travelling is the best combination to do that! I am close to speak english fluently and I enjoy communicating with others. I am very openminded towards all kind of jobs and so motivated to learn as much new things as I can. I grew up in Berlin and recognized how much calmer and happier I am outside of the big city bustle. In general I just love being in nature. That's why I would like to spend my workaway stays in the country side. I am very excited to start a new journey and connect with new people, places and cultures.

Lena stayed with us for 3 months. She is the sweetest most respectful and hard working young women you can imagine. Always in for every kind of job, flexible and always in a good mood. As staying with us for such a long period we really became very fond of Lena and it felt like we became family. I can highly recomend Lena.

I stayed for three months at Virginias beautiful home and had a really lovely time with that family. I had my own little cottage which was super cozy and perfect for the portuguese winter. We always worked from 9-13 and ended the working day all together with lunch, which I liked a lot. After that, the whole afternoon was off and I had time for my… read more

We want to recommend Lena to any host who could consider the idea of hosting her! She spent 6 weeks with us and we wish we had the chance to have shared more time with her :-)
Lena helped us with the garden, in preparing accommodations, preparing meals for a group of people, helped in the house and even also with our toddler. Always in a good mood… read more

I spent around 6 weeks with Marta, David, Vio and Kiko and I definitely had one of the greatest time there during my travels! After only a few days I really felt at home and was settled into the routine of the farm and the ways things were done. The tasks are very relaxed and even when there are on some days more things to do, I never felt… read more

In life you are meeting a lot of people and just a few will stay in your mind. Annelie and Edwin are definetly one of these people, that I will never forget. I‘ve spend around 6 weeks with the Stonecastle family and I can‘t even describe what a great time I had and also how much I learned. About myself, and also about everything in the garden, the… read more

I arrived 2 weeks before the beginning of orange season and planned was to stay just 4 weeks. Salvo, Roby and everyone around gave me from the beginning a great feeling of warmth and appreciation so that I stayed in the end almost 3 month. I can‘t put in words how much I learned there, but I will definitely benefit from it all my life. At the… read more

I can not even describe in words how great my time with that family was, but my heart is full of love when Im thinking about the last 4 month that I have spend with them!! From the beginning Ragna was always open and so helpful, so that you dont have to worry when you have any problems. Dont matter if you are already in Iceland or not! The kids… read more

I stayed just one week with Gudmundur and Gudrun, but I didnt know that I can learn so much in just a few days! Gudmundur and his wife are really great people and I felt very welcoming from the first moment I walked into their house. They were always very attentive and made sure that me and the other workawayer I stayed with were well.
We made a… read more
