Description
Hi there!
After some years of studying and working for different companies I felt like I need a new perspective, hence, I decided to leave everything behind and to hit the road. Travelling since February I already had the pleasure meeting so many interesting people and made my first workaway experience in Vietnam.
I enjoy learning foreign languages and have a passion for music, in both cases I am looking forward to sharing and learning :)
Originally I am from a small town in the middle of Germany growing up as the middle child of three boys and fortunately I could spend different periods of time abroad through studying and internships which sparked my curiosity for traveling.

Not sure what else to add here, so just drop me a message with your questions!

More details about your skills
Hi there!
There are a couple of languages I might be able to teach you a little, apart from that I enjoy cooking a healthy dish and occasionally baking, just ask for my Original Austrian "Sachertorte" ;)
I have a bachelor degree in business administration and experience in human resources in case this might be of interest :)
I taught Karting (yes, the little racing cars) to kids from 6 to 16 and worked as a janitor in a boarding school as my civil service in Germany.
Age
35
What else ...
I was quite fortunate to live and work abroad a couple of times, thus, open and eager for new experiences and getting to know other people and cultures.
I do enjoy a good Italian coffee, music across (almost) all genres and food from all over the world.
Let me know if you have any question about me, looking forward to get in touch!

Michael was the best. He was fun, clever, helpful and awesome company. Every family member enjoyed having him stay, and he did so much to help us. Michael fitted perfectly into our family with his witty and well educated discussions along with his wonderful music abilities and taste. (Thank you Michael for taking the time to stay with us. You were… read more

That's why I love workaway! It connects you to amazing people like these guys. I only spent a week there but felt at home from the moment Kate picked me up from the bus stop. Their place is a peaceful little gem and every naturelover's and DIY-fans paradise. Many little projects that I enjoyed and learned from while Kate's always watching out for… read more

Mari Carmen is one of the reasons I definitely want to come back to Australia and Bellingen in the future! I arrived after a long ride late on a Sunday and was immediately greeted with a hot tea. We chatted until late and the next day we already found our routine with work and leisure. I had an amazing time not just working but learning so much… read more

Michael left on monday morning and I miss him already. Michael is incredibly resourceful innovative and hard working. It was a pleasure having him stay, and help with any task, from driving to cooking, to gardening and lots, lots more. We had interesting discussions, and lots of fun. His beautiful smile and candid personality will be hard to… read more

It was short notice and very spontaneous to visit Joan on her wonderful property but these kind of decision are usually the best, like in this case!
Joan was heartwarmingly welcoming and eager to show me a lot of things in the garden as well as the area of Monto, the work was never stressful and I could enjoy the remoteness of the place as well… read more

I was so blessed to have Michael contact me as a last minute work away person. He was a joy to have in my home. He did an amazing amount of work cleaning up all the frost damage to my garden and doing all the heavy work, which saved me a lot of energy! Michael did in 6 days, what would have taken me months as I am still recovering from a… read more

Michael is wonderful! He has an incredible work ethic and a wonderful personality. He became friends with our kids immediately and had them engaged through his creative skils in music, art and lego!

Michael helped us with jobs both inside and out and managed to get through a never ending "list" with enthusiasm! Michael also treated us to his… read more

After the first days I already felt being part of the family and in the end stayed much longer than planned. Michael and Sarah are exceptional hosts and made my stay one of the most important experiences of my recent travels. There is always some work around the house which I enjoyed a lot, be it repairing the dog cannel, general gardening or… read more

Volunteering with Chris i is probably one of the single most amazing little adventures of my travel. I arrived as a guest, turned into volunteer after a couple of nights and left as a friend.
Chris is very down to earth and introduced me into all the little things that need to be done in a hostel. The guests were wonderful and a real pleasure to… read more
