Description
I am a friendly, hard working and outgoing person. I really enjoy meeting new people and helping other people to achieve their dreams whether that be by completing little jobs for them or something more large scale. I will put my hand to anything and give it my best shot.
I have done lots of gardening and have experience with things such as planting, cleaning ponds, harvesting fruit and vegetables, sowing seeds, chopping/stacking wood, painting fences and various other jobs. I’m a big animal lover and know how to take care of dogs, cats, ducks and chickens. I horse rode for 10 years therefore I have good experience with riding and basic yard work. I was a young Brownie leader which enabled me to work with young children this including children with learning difficulties.
Being active and outdoors is one of my favourite past times, I love hiking, being surrounded by nature and scuba diving. I also really enjoy cooking and experimenting with different dishes. English is my first language and I speak German confidently enabling me to teach conversational German to those who wish to learn a few things in another language. I would love to learn about people’s different ways of life and pick up some new skills along the way.
I have recently finished a degree in Sustainable Tourism Management so I am very much excited to get back outside and stuck in!
I am only happy to join people who are accepting of all sexualities, religions, ethnicities etc.

Helena was a bubbly, fun, injection of life into our group here. It was hard to say goodbye! Her strong, confident, can- do attitude fit right in with all of us here. Some highlights of her visit were the garlic harvest, thinning strawberry plants, a homemade Pho dinner, and a lovely charcuterie plate for the munchies one night! 😋

I have just finished up two weeks at the farm. It was a very fun and diverse two weeks; from learning how to milk a cow to fishing out on the ocean! Kerry and her family welcomed me in with open arms and I felt right at home straight away. The work is interesting, the location is beautiful and the food is amazing!

I had a wonderful time with Roz and Francis at their lovely place in Temagami! I was welcomed in immediately and felt right at home. The work was varied and fun! Both Roz and Francis are super chilled and happy for you to work on projects that you enjoy doing. Amazing food, surroundings and people- you can't ask for much more! Thank you both for… read more

Helena stayed with us for a week and gave our garden a huge leg-up! She is a lovely person with a great sense of curiosity and adventure; she's great fun to chat with :-) We appreciated her common sense, good humour, and willingness to “get stuck in” to whatever was going on at the moment. I hope our paths cross again!

Helena stayed on my farm for a month and was a vital part of my 2023 lambing team. Enthusiastic, energetic and highly capable, she was always on hand to help with whatever came up. She was thorough in everything that she did and always made sure that she understood the task before setting out to do it.

I recently finished a month of lambing at Hen's place and had the best time. The work was varied, super interesting and Hen is a great and very patient teacher! I learnt so much and am very appreciative for the opportunity. I hadn't worked with big livestock before but Hen always allowed me to get stuck in and crack on with the various tasks.

Helena came to stay with us for a few weeks to help out on our farm and she is already missed. Helena is funny, intelligent and a very hard worker. While staying with us the work was mostly preparing land for planting, digging over beds and she never once shied away from hard work even in the hot sun, in fact she seemed to relish it.

Where to begin... my few weeks at this beautiful place have been absolutely incredible. I have completed a few work exchanges now and this is by far my best one! Both Scott and Annegret have been so fun to be around, I have learn't so much not just about permaculture and organic farming but also about the history of the surrounding villages (which… read more

I stayed with Olga and Ole for 2 weeks and I enjoyed it. All the animals are so sweet and loving, they always appreciate it if you stop and give them a cuddle. The farm is in a really beautiful remote area of Denmark and the beach is very near by. The farm is quite remote so there’s not a lot around but Løkken isn’t too far away, you can cycle,… read more

Helena stayed with us for 2 weeks and in spite of short time she has helped us a lot. Although she is so young, she is very mature for her age and a reliable and hard working person. She is good at taking care of animals and nature and she is really a very nice person. It was also interesting to try her vegan cooking :).

Helena spent 2 weeks with us and we were very said that she had to leave. She was very friendly with the kids from the first moment. Our little daughter loved her very much, and they had very good time together. She helped us not just with the kids and the housework (English homework) but also with our dog Mia. We could try her cook and it was… read more

I spent over 4 months working in the micro green house on the farm and wow, how I loved it. I was able to learn lots of new and very handy skills and it’s incredibly rewarding seeing your hard work pay off. Annelie and Edwin will take you in as if you are their own, they will go above and beyond to help you in any way they can. The food is amazing… read more

Helena is still very young but don’t let that stop you from snapping her up as a volunteer. She is very mature for her age and is an efficient, reliable and conscientious worker. She helped at our micro farm for 4 months. As a guest she has been undemanding, helpful and neat about her person. She is not a clock-watcher and when she starts a job… read more
