    Travelling

  • Description

    Over one year ago I left my home town Berlin & started traveling.
    Back then I had many ides & wishes of what I want to do in my journey and after.
    One wish was reaching Equador without an airplane, learn how to sail and see a nature I have never seen before.
    So I sailed accross the Atlantic and crewed on many different sail boats. I hiked & dove in the most bizarre landscapes I have seen by now & came into contact with animals & plants I only knew from books.
    That's definitely motivation for me, having a dream or a wish & trying to make it come true.
    And there still are so many ideas & wishes I want to make come true.
    Well and apart from that my hobbies motivate me. Breakdancing, acrobatics and climbing.
    And definitely all the new friends I made within my travels & the strange, crazy or simply funny adventures we share.

    More details about my language interests
    For sure both. I can teach German for it simply is my mother language. But also English and French is something I can teach, as I already did so. Spanish is a language I want to get way better at and I crave learning Russian!

  • More details about your skills

    By now I tried and worked in quite some different jobs and places.
    In Berlin it was a climbinggym that i worked at. I gave courses to both, adolescents & adults, I cooked simple dishes, fixed little things here & there and became part of the route setting team.
    In Munich I worked in an Ice manufacturer. Ice making and selling to the customers was the main job here.
    In Catalunya Spain I workawayed as a Handyman for a small family, chopping firewood for winter by using various machines & maintaining them. I took care of the anymals & helped with wood building projects and last but not least I took care of the daughter a little bit of cleaning & cooking.
    Then I sailed to the Canaries and started working on sailing vessels. First just by being an extra hand for whatever needed & after weeks & months, more & more independent.
    In Curaçao I worked for an adventure- trip company again as a Deckhand, this time on motor boats though. Plus I took care of the customers - cooking & meal preparation, free diving in groups and simple entertainment & all time available.
    In Columbia I worked for 2 weeks on a horse farm, mainly as house & yard keeper but also as the care taker for the guest groups.
    To summarize, I totally enjoy physical work. May that be as a coach for sport activities or as a handyman fixing, building or optimizing whatever in need of it.
    The sailing & hitch-hiking thought me patience and I guess it also made me relativ relaxed for unexpected events & situations.
    I am fluent in German and thanks to some years in London and many month in French speaking countries/ islands my English & French is on a high level too.
    My Spanish still needs a lot of work but I can communicate acceptably:)
