Description

Some years ago, I came out of school and startet my first solo - travel journey. Probably this has been one of the best decisions of my life. I came back not only with clothes that my frieds from then on called 'alternative', but also with a huge bunch of new experiences, perspectives of different, amazing people, and a big enthusiasm about my life and the opportunites I can make come true.
Since then, travelling became a essential part of my life. Every now and then, wanderlust tips on my back and asks me when its time to travel again. For me, this always is a chance to develop myself, get to know more of the fascinating world we live in, have a look at the stunning and beautiful sides of the world and try to put my effort to change unconciousness the best that I can.
"Geben und Nehmen" is a german saying, that basically says that for everything you take something, you should also give something back. Everything should be in balance in order to create a good outcome. Which is a reason, why I want to volunteer during my trips.
I was studying psychology for the last 3 years and finished my bachelors degree in 2023. This has always been very interesting to me, because I like to think about humans behaviour, tought patterns and why people become who they become. Intospection and philosophy is a big part of my life and I love to listen to thoughts other people have on that topic.
Although this was an important step in my life, a was doubting more and more, if that is what I want to do as a occupation my whole life. After a while of reflection and some time of volunteering in an animal shelter, I came to the conclusion, that my biggest passion, that will stay pretty shure for my whole life, is to help animals in need. In my opinion, animals have a special, genuine conciousness, that we can all learn from.
My plan is to begin study veterinary medicine in 2024 and I am happy about every opportunity that I will have to work with animals and nice people, to learn new skills and share good intentions, and most importantly, share the beautiful things we can experience in this life.

More details about your skills

I have been working in a bunch of different jobs since I began to study. So I'd say one of my biggest skill is to be very adaptable. With the precision and perfectionism of a german, and the curiosity of a young person that wants to learn new things, I pick up new drills fast and reliable.
I am physically very fit so I am ready to do also physical demanding work. And I am not crying about broken fingernails. Endurance and flexibility is also one of my strengts (this also always was a part of my job applications, but I swear its true).
Also, I do have some experience in working with traumatised street animals because I was working in a animal shelter in Bali twice, for 4 weeks in total. I'd say my patient and calm personality is of advantage when it comes to work with animals.

Age

What else ...

I love to do any kind of activity, or try new things.
In my free time I move my body a lot, may it be yoga, running, hiking, climbing or any kind of sport with friends.
I did my yoga teacher license 2023 in india, so if someone is interested, i can also teach yoga classes.
Besides that I love to read good books, enjoy nature, cook nice vegetarian meals etc.
