Description
I am a travel enthusiast for more than ten years: It all started with a semester abroad in New Zealand in 2010. Since then I used every opportunity to spend time abroad. In the first years as part of my studies which I spent in the Netherlands, Scotland and Sweden. After completing my studies I worked and travelled in Canada for a couple of months and since I ended up in serious working life (2015) I used my precious 30 days of holiday for trips to the US, Columbia and South Africa. In 2021 I took a three-month Sabbatical which me and my boyfriend used for a road trip through South Africa/Namibia and during which I fell in love with Southern Africa. In summer 2024 my boyfriend and I have started into an even bigger adventure: We quit our jobs in Germany and moved into our Land Rover Defender to travel full time for at least one year.

I really like home stays and work & travel since it gives you the opportunity to get a glimpse into other peoples lives and discover a country off the beaten tracks. There is nothing better than meeting people you feel connected to far away from home :-)

After traveling Norway for a month with our camper my boyfriend and I spent a week at Eva‘s farm to get a glimpse into life in the Norwegian countryside. We really enjoyed having the most amazing hiking areas right on the doorstep, priceless views over the fjord from our camp and the veranda and plenty of kuddling time as we were lucky to stay… read more

Maike & Steffan were such an adaptable couple. They stayed here for a month and fitted in with the routine the animals and the tasks immediately. I was concerned about them bringing Polly their little dog as I have dogs but they made that work perfectly and we now miss Polly's big personality around the place. Maike & Steffan are very respectful… read more

We stayed at Sandra´s Finca in February and really enjoyed the sun and the mild temperatures. It is a beautiful place and the dogs are very kind and easy to handle. After our daily dog walk and some maintenance work around the Finca there was still plenty of time during the week to explore the area. Over the weekends we went on a few road trips to… read more

Martha and Daniel were my first Workaway hosts and I could not have been more lucky: From day one they treated me as part of their family! I really enjoyed joining them in their daily life e.g. helping Martha in the kitchen - including cooking German „potato pancakes“ - playing with Ryan and also supporting them a little bit with online marketing… read more
