Description
Hi,

I'm a traveller by heart either in my free time or in my professional life as a documentary filmmaker. I've visited many countries so far but I'm eager to see nothing less than the rest of the world.

I'm a nice, open-minded and social person who loves to get to know other cultures, countries and the people living there.

Right now I'm traveling for the longest period of time in my whole life since I decided to take a gap year. I'd like to use the time given to travel in a different way than I did before, working and living with interesting people from all over the world.

I'm interested in politics, human concerns and new perspectives on how we treat our planet and its inhabitants. Even though I have my personal opinion about lots of things, I'm always keen to get to know other's insights.

I'm a nature lover spending a lot of time hiking, climbing, kayaking and doing other fun stuff. Traveling with me are my girlfriend and / or friends for most of the time, but definitely a bunge of good reads.

Well, the rest is up to anyone who likes to get to know me :)

More details about your skills
I'm a fast-learner being able to adapt to any situation given. I work with precision and care and I'd like to volunteer in many different fields either physically demanding work on farmlands, building infrastructure etc. or social work with other people.

I spent a lot of time on my girlfriend's grandparent's farm, taking care of the usual work of a small-scale farmer. I also volunteered for food shelters and met a lot of wise people experiencing their way of changing the world bit by bit.

My career as a professional journalist equipped me with advanced expertise in filmmaking including creative storytelling, videographing, editing, and all sorts of post-production if that is needed.

Oooooooh what a wonderful time I had at this place. Gabi the host is such a powerful person who dedicated her life to more than fourty beautiful dogs over so many years. Volunteering at the shelter sometimes meant hard work fixing the doggies' houses and searching the fence for another hole they always found a way through. However, most of the… read more

Thanks to Antonis I spent amazing three weeks at his Yoga hostel based in the charming and laid-back village of Paleiros. Most of the time I worked on my own projects deinstalling the hostel's yoga platform on the shore, collecting and drying wood etc. Afterwards we all cooked together and I had very inspiring chats sitting next to the fireplace.… read more
