Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hello, I love any form of cultural exchange, learning new languages, meeting people, cooking and eating together, anything to do with natural farming and permaculture, gardening, herbs, creative work, holistic healing approaches and last but not least be with children and animals. I am a very happy, balanced person, mother tongue German, lived in France for 18 years and therefore know French and English well. I would like to make my contribution to a successful cooperation and can contribute many talents and experiences. For me, being a Workawayer is not about saving money by staying with families, but really getting in touch with people, the country, the traditions, the culture and sharing work and ideas, making new friends and having a good time together where both sides benefit. I am healthy, fit, joyful, open-minded and not afraid to work. I am working as personal health coach, qigong and meditation teacher and have an own small center in Germany. Now I will make a sabbatical year and travel. I look forward to getting to know you

More details about your skills

Mother tongue German, French and English very good, I can teach these languages and have also done this as a volunteer for foreigners in Germany.

Much experience with garden, everything grows with me, because I have a lot of love and good energy for nature and everything that lives. For several years I had a farm in France with organic cultivation/permaculture.

I love children and animals, can take good care of them and have a lot of experience with it.

I cook well and like to cook, I cook simply, with fresh, good ingredients, preferably vegetarian, but meat or fish is also possible from time to time. Furthermore I can help with anything around the house.

I am very reliable, joyful, like to talk and share, but can also be silent.

I have a great knowledge of holistic healing approaches, herbal and Chinese medicine.

I am a creative person with a special talent for decoration and design and I also like to work with natural materials and make something out of them, this is my arts website: https://kunstvonmuttererde.jimdofree.com (translation: art of mother earth)

In my first profession I worked as a human resources manager, since many years I work now as a personal health coach and as a Qigong/Taiji and meditation trainer. So I'm very used to adapting to all kinds of people and can also show some methods if you are interested in. This is my personal website: www.zhineng-qigong.net

I have my own small centre and websites that I have created myself, I can make flyers, help with marketing and I know my way around a computer quite well.

I can share both German and French ways of life and I am open to all kind of work and to everything I experience in my host family.
