  • Description

    Hi! I’m currently finishing a Master’s degree in Neuroscience in Göttingen, Germany, and I have a background in Biomedical Sciences. While I enjoy research and learning, I’ve always tried to balance academic life with hands-on, practical work and time outdoors, which is why Workaway really appeals to me.

    I’ve lived in Spain, the USA, Australia the UK, and Germany, and moving between countries has made me very adaptable and open-minded. I genuinely enjoy getting to know new cultures, routines, and ways of thinking, whether that’s through work, food, language, or everyday life. I speak Spanish and English fluently and I’m currently improving my German, which I enjoy practicing whenever I can.

    Outside of studying, I’m happiest when I’m active and outdoors. I love horse riding, hiking, walking long distances, being in nature, and working with animals. I’ve worked as a horse riding instructor and trail guide, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how important trust and communication are (with both people and animals).

    Personality-wise, I’m a happy person, curious, and reliable. I’m not really into partying; I prefer quieter evenings, shared meals, good conversations, and feeling part of a small community. I’m respectful of shared spaces, easy to live with, and I take my commitments seriously while keeping a positive, flexible attitude.

    I’m looking forward to a Workaway experience where I can contribute meaningfully, learn new skills, and connect with people and places in a genuine way.

    More details about my language interests
    Yes! I really enjoy language exchange and learning through everyday life. I’d love to improve my German, Italian, or French, whether through conversation, shared activities, or more structured practice. I’m also happy to help others practice Spanish or English, formally or casually.

  • More details about your skills

    I’m quite flexible and happy to help wherever I’m needed. I’m used to taking responsibility and I enjoy being part of a team.

    - Horses & outdoor activities: I’ve worked as a horse riding instructor and trail guide, helping with horse care, assisting beginners, and leading or supporting guided tours both with and without horses. Safety, calm communication, and enjoying the experience are important to me.

    - Outdoor & physical work: I’m comfortable with hands-on outdoor tasks like farm or garden work, general maintenance, cleaning, and early mornings.

    - Hospitality & daily life: I’ve worked as a waitress and enjoy helping with guests. I often cook for my family and I’m happy to help with meals, kitchens, and keeping shared spaces tidy.

    - Organisation & responsibility: I’m organised and reliable, with experience coordinating tasks and organising social events with over 100 people during my university studies.

    - Computer & data skills: Through my Master’s thesis, I’ve gained experience in data analysis, organisation, and working with different programming languages — useful for spreadsheets, records, or digital help if needed.

  • What else ...

    I love travelling and being active (swimming, horse riding, climbing, basketball, hiking), but I also really enjoy calm days. I’m an avid reader and can happily spend an entire day reading from sunrise to sunset. I appreciate both shared activities and quiet time.
