Description
Hi! We're a danish couple, Kirsten and Frederik, looking to learn new things and to connect with local people on our up-coming travel. We're going to Georgia in mid-February, then traveling through Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria and finishing off in Romania.

Kirsten: I have traveled before, back in 2017-2018, where I traveled in Australia and used Workaway regularly to find exciting places to work. To give a few examples; I worked at a large horse farm for a while where I worked in the stables and helped out with feeding, fetching the horses and giving the foals medication. I also worked at a small permaculture farm where I milked the goats, fed the chicks and harvested and packed vegetables. In early 2017 I lived in France for 4 months where I worked as a waitress in Disneyland. My interest for living things grew when I traveled in Australia which eventually led to where I am now; about to get my bachelor degree in biology.

Frederik: I haven't been traveling like this before, so this will be my first longer trip. I'm a guitarist and composer. I have spent the last three years on my bachelors degree from the Danish National Academy of Music and now it's time to get out of the rehearsal rooms and see what eastern europe has to offer. Besides being a musician I have been working as a freelance sound engineer and visuals artist. I have also been working as a concert and festival organizer for a jazzfestival in Denmark. While I studied I lived in a small garden house, where I started to grow my own vegetables and I would love to get my hands dirty again!

We have been together for a year and are excited to go travel together and to see other parts of the world. With us both having finished or being about to finish our degree, we are more than ready to see something new besides sheet music and biology books.
We are both fond of nature, bicycle rides, laughing and creating. We can't wait to make lasting memories with the people we meet through workaway! :)

What a lovely couple! Kirsten and Frederik stayed 16 days and it was a pleasure to host them. They are very honest, respectful, responsable, organized and easy-going people. They worked outside for weeding, planting, putting the irrigation hoses, moving the pruned branches etc.. They are always up for helping with all the tasks. We had a lot of… read more

We spent 16 days at Emine and the farm. We were only supposed to stay for a week but extended the stay. It was an absolute pleasure to get a glimpse into the life of her Turkish farm. Emines attitude towards farming is really admirable; she respects (and sees the importance in) nature and the dynamic processes that take place in for example the… read more

Kirsten stayed a week with us. She was great to host, easy to get along with and willing to try any tasks given to her. She mainly helped in the gardens, weeding, clearing and mulching around our fruit trees and clearing some overgrown fences. Highly recommended!

I stayed with Rob and Gun for 12 days which passed by waaaay too fast. I simply enjoyed every minute at the farm and who wouldn't with those surroundings and that company.

I did a variety of tasks in the beautiful garden such as planting, weeding, picking, and tying up beans. Besides this I also fed the animals and had a chance to milk their… read more

Kirsten was a pleasure to host throughout her stay. She worked hard, she was friendly and easy-going, and, most importantly of all, she was always positive.

When we took her to swim in Turpins Falls, Kirsten continually raved about how amazing it was, and she bore a constant smile as she swam around the lake below the Falls - this is one example… read more
