Description
Hello everybody :) my name is Carmen. I have been spending the last fifteen years traveling and working in different countries; including Germany ( I am originally from Munich), France, Ireland and Mexico. I am passionate about cultures and I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world. That is why I decided to turn my hobby into a profession and to study intercultural communication/translation. I am currently living in Berlin, where I am teaching German as a foreign language. Next to my passion for languages I like to do arts and crafts, to go for hikes and to generally spend time in nature.
During the last few years I also had the opportunity to volunteer for a number of very interesting projects including animal care, teaching languages, permaculture, gardening and yurt building. I had a great time and I learned a lot about a sustainable way of life.

I'm very happy that Carmen came to stay with me for 2 weeks to help me out. She helped me with some projects I had been waiting to do for quite a while and did them very well! She's a very kind person full of life and would be a blessing on anywhere she goes. Good luck with all of your plans Carmen : )
