I'm currently in Berlin but going to England in 2 weeks until the end of March. Then I'm planning to go to Turkey. ☺️
Description
My name is Brina, and I’ve been traveling the world since 2012 – can you imagine?! 😃 I’m absolutely in love with this beautiful planet, and my goal is to visit 100 countries in my lifetime. So far, I’ve explored over 40! 😊🙌
Since 2018, I’ve primarily been traveling as a house sitter, completing over 100 house sits across ~15 countries. I adore animals, so this has been an incredible way to travel while making many four-legged (and two-legged) friends around the world. 🐶🐱
I’ve also volunteered before – once in a Bed & Breakfast in Lima (Peru), and also at a stray dog rescue in Goa (India). Both were amazing experiences! 😃
Beyond house sitting and volunteering, I’ve gained a variety of work experiences over the years:
✨ Au pair for multiple families in Australia
✨ Tour guide in Sydney (Australia) & Bournemouth (England)
✨ Online German teacher for several years
✨ English teacher in Vietnam (TEFL certified)
✨ Airbnb Superhost in Spain
✨ Various hospitality roles (e.g. hotel work, food stall, climbing park, and others)
(References for the above roles are available upon request.)
Currently, I’m studying psychology online while traveling as a house sitter. 😊 As much as I love house sitting, I’m eager to explore new experiences and work more with people again. That’s why I created my brand-new Workaway account – to see what exciting opportunities are out there! 😉
I’d love to connect with hosts in different countries, contribute my skills, and bring my personality into new projects. 💕 I’m an open-minded, easy-going, creative, and social person with a huge curiosity for the world and its people. After traveling for over a decade, I’ve developed a deep cultural awareness and adaptability, allowing me to fit in almost anywhere. 🙃
I’m fluent in German & English and speak Spanish (B1 level).
