Travelling
Description

Hello Everyone
my name is Christopher, or Chris in short. I am 33 years old and have started a sabbatical in 2025 during which I want to travel South America with as much time as I need. The idea of this trip is to be a lot more mindful and get in contact with a lot of different people and experiences maybe mostly for two reasons - one; I think we grow a lot by getting in contact with new people and new experiences, it is an opportunity to learn from each other, but also gives us a lot of fruits to learn about ourselves. Secondly, I want to explore different things also in order to get to know myself better and reconsider what I want to do professionally in the future.
Generally - I think the best way to enjoy life is to put yourself out there and experience all the things that it offers.
Looking forward to meet!

More details about my language interests
I am currently over here practicing my Spanish. I think it is now about an intermediate level (past tense, future tense and subjuntivo are still difficult), so I hope to continue practicing it! At the same time, I would love to practice a bit of English, Danish or German with people if interested. I am more the practical learner when it comes to languages tho as I am not so familiar with the grammar anymore :)

More details about your skills

I have no practical education and work wise I have been working more with the PC and MS Office, at the same time, I grew up in the countryside of Germany, so that means that doing some basic woodworking, maintenance of the garden, but also with motorbikes and cars was always a part of my life and still is today. I have recently learned a bit more about mechanics and in 2023 I have been to Teneriffe on a WWOOFING on a Moringa Farm.
Generally, if you are looking for an expert in a specific field (unless it is very specific Project Management, Project Finance or Excel stuff), I am probably not your guy, but as a generalist who enjoys learning by doing / speaking and who generally gets excited to help with a lot of different things, then I am your guy. At the same time I think I do pick up on basic things relatively quickly so with a bit of instruction I am usually able to work independently.

If in doubt, pop me a question! :)
Age

34
What else ...

Generally I enjoy doing a lot of different things. At the moment I am doing a course on Mindfullness and generally I love topics such as Yoga, Meditation, living presently and such.
I also enjoy doing sports, at the moment I do a bit of calistenia when I can and with my partner we are trying some different martial arts to see if something here could be interesting.
At home I loved doing different DIY things to give a balance to my computer-based-work, so this was often at my mom's place or at a friend's farm, helping with the garden, the animals, wood working or those sort of things. I also enjoy some basic mechanic stuff.
At the same time, I also enjoy time for myself - writing my journal or some short stories, reading or just listening to music.

Christopher tiene una energía muy relajada y consciente💆🏻 Siempre se toma el tiempo de preguntar y aclarar las tareas con la intención de no gastar energía innecesariamente, algo muy valioso cuando hay trabajos físicamente exigentes. Eso ayuda muchísimo a mantener un buen equilibrio dentro del equipo.

It was super lovely and such a good balance after La Paz. It's like a paradise close to Cochabamba where you just immediately feel like home between a lot of four and two legged friends and amidst the ton of apple trees!

Andrea has quite a lot of experience with volunteers so the structure was super nice and well prepared. At the same time she … read more

I had a really good time in Iquitos. Originally I had planned to stay for 3 weeks but ended up extending another week because I really enjoyed the company of the host family, the time with the kids, but also Iquitos itself is super special!
The first impression was of the host family - I was picked up by José at the airport and within matters the … read more entire parking lot was yelling my name and helping me find José - I immediately felt welcomed. Then there is Berta (the mother) who takes super good care of you and also makes breakfast the 6 days of the week - though I have been 4 weeks, I have never even once had the same breakfast and everyday it was very delish! The rest of the family - daughters, sons and also the family of one of the brothers all make you feel welcome and interact with you daily. With some of them we also spent time going out during the weekends which was usually fun!

Then to the school - the kids are amazing! I came without any experience in teaching or tutoring, but still felt like I could help out and leave an impact. There were times where I was a bit overwhelmed because three boys from the secondary school can have a lot of energy, but then Estefy (one of the employees) or one of the other volunteers was always willing to help out and we managed it together. So I never felt like I was alone.
I was mostly doing the sports classes, helping with English and then of course help with the homework where I really got to brush up on my secondary school math. So overall, it was just a really fruitful time for me and what made it the most special is how kind and open the kids are - you are there only for a short time, but interacting with them, trying different ways to keep them engaged, playing with them in the breaks - this is really what makes this place special and the time so wonderful. I remember one day where we were in the Supermarket in the mall and suddenly I heard "Profe" yelling and got a hug from the side - it was one of the kids and even though I had just been there for about a week at that point, he was so happy to see us all. This interaction definetely made my day and is still putting a smile on my face. There were many more good memories and I will surely miss the kids dearly!

Thank you so much for sharing this place and your home with me for the 4 weeks.
All the best to the place in the future! :)

Chris was an excellent volunteer at our NGO.
Proactive, reliable, and kind, he quickly became a positive presence in our daily activities. He took initiative, connected beautifully with the children, and always approached every task with responsibility and enthusiasm.

We are grateful for his contribution and would happily host him again anytime.
