Beschreibung

Hi, I’m Maya! I just travelled British Columbia (Canada) and the West Coast of the US. Now I am back home in Austria. Last spring I graduated from highschool and wanted a break out from my small city life in Austria - I landed in Northern America :) Before starting to study political science in autumn 2024 in Vienna, I want to gain new experiences and get to know like-minded people by travelling. Much of my happiness is found outside being in nature (especially mountains), good conversations and making meaningful connections with people. I would describe myself as a very social, ambitious, open-hearted and cheerful person who always has a laugh on her face :))

I feel passionate about experiencing different ways of living, sharing knowledge, ideas and be an active part of sustainability projects, which are fighting the climate crisis.

Was könntest du arbeiten?

In general, I like to learn and am interested in learning new skills. In the past I've already worked in a small restaurant at a camping site, also as a babysitter and on a horse farm, so I also have experience in horse care and cleaning stables. Last summer, I was working as a producer assistant in the local theatre in Gmunden (the city I am from) and used to work for the local movie theatre for several years - I found that I really enjoy the cultural sector! Since I’ve been working on farms the past months in BC I have gardening and outdoor work experience, also during BC‘s fall weather ;) Plus, I helped on the farm of the retreat center "Esalen Institute" in Califonria for one month in December. I do also have a drivers licence.

Since I grew up with a brother, who was born with Down-Syndrome, and have also babysitted children with disabilities, I’ve great experience in dealing with disabled people.

I like to cook and have a little bit of stage experience by acting and giving speeches. I enjoy to work in team! As a member of the Fridays For Future movement I’ve attended several climate conventions and political discourses on the topic Climate Crisis and Climate Justice. I am always curious to have constructive conversations on this topic!

Spending four months with workaway in the US and Canada I fell in love with the concept of Workaway and found meaningful connections in this part od the world, which feel like family. I am looking forward to extend my family in Scandinacia!

Since I learned English, French and Latin in school, I would enjoy to help with these languages as well as with my mother language German.

I am curious to acquire new knowledge as well as physical skills :)
