hi friends, welcome to a very special final video in my germany backpacking adventures! I stayed with a total stranger in rural bavaria and lived for free in exchange for working in her garden and exchanging knowledge. I had such a peaceful, transformative time and felt like my host and I were meant to come into each other's lives at this exact point in time. I'm so grateful for the kindness and generosity of strangers! if you're travelling or backpacking, i hope this inspires you to have unique experiences and trust that meeting locals can be a fruitful experience. sending you all so much love xx

Your message on discrimination and showing empathy for people as they are the product of their circumstances is extremely beautiful. Forgiveness will go so much further than fuelling hate with hate ❤️

Workaway changed my life ❤ I feel like I've found a missing piece of my family. The way I feel at home in my host family's home is unique and has been so healing - it still is, when I am back there. I enter a different headspace, I often sleep a lot (I usually have so many issues with sleep!) and I am at peace in general. I refuse to believe I have not lived in that house before 2021, that's literally HOME to me now. No words will ever do justice to that experience, I am just so grateful for my "new" mums and furry siblings ❤

you are a loving little philosopher at this point jade! absolutely cant agree more with ur collecting lil perspectives and broadening ur own. I'm currently reading braiding sweetgrass and this vid feels like a literal manifestation of her stories haha

A beautiful video. I totally agree with the views you explain from Minute 8:30. I feel like facing judgemental people with judgement just fosters more hatred. You have to show them compassion and kindness and try to understand where their believes are coming from. I am so glad you had such a beautiful time with your host and benefitted so much from taking a glimpse into her life. I admire how appreciative you are of the peace that her garden gave you. I also love the comparison to Women who run with the wolves. A truely special and magic book. You are encouraging me to finally finish it. Thank you!

I really admire you for being so wise, content, spirituell, reflected and self-loving and -caring at such a young age! I needed about 36 years to get to that point and had people telling me that that seemed young to them because they had needed 50 years or more. So for you being so internaly grown in your mid twenties makes me even more exited for your future 🦋

Her english is so good. I am from Bavaria myself, but moved to Berlin a year ago. Moving away made me really appreciate the beauty of rural Bavaria. I love it every time I come back. I am also going to stay with a host from workaway and am so excited after I seeing your experience with it.

Jade your idea of approaching people whose ideas we might not agree with through a lens of empathy provided such a shift in perspective! Also that garden looked so peaceful and healing i could feel the vibes even through the video (it made me tear up a little). I hope u keep having such wonderful experiences and keep offering us so much healing and inspiration<3

I did a workaway in Türkiye early this year. I relate so much to that inital feeling of learning to understand and adapt to the hosts way of life. I rememeber her telling us to not use too much toilet paper or not to leave doors open for too long to prevent her 10 cats from getting out haha, I never thought much about these things before. My host also always had every meal prepared with a story about where all the Ingredients were from- a neighbour or a friend or the person she exchanged olive oil for cheese with. It was such an amazing experience learning about not only a different culture but a way of life that I felt like I wanted to learn to adapt to in the future. thanks for this video Jade and sharing how enlightening this kind of experience can be :)

Jade watching this video in my grandparents rural garden in northern Romania is exactly what I needed this afternoon. Couldn't agree more with the importance of going on adventures in nature, connecting with it and investing your time int nature. One of the times I felt most connected in nature was climbing the mountain last summer by my grandparents house and the second was probably at the valley of the rocks in Devon. Thank you for creating this safe and inspiring corner of the internet.

This really resonated with me as I feel I'm in a similar phase of my life. I've met so many amazing strangers recently who I know will have an impact on my life forever. Regine seemed lovely!
