Description

I am a creative, uncomplicated and fun person to be around, at least that's what people say about me.

I love languages, cultures, art and music. I prefer deep, meaningful conversations over small talk and value loving communication.
I play the guitar a bit and I love to sing, so we can always share some music.
I am painting and drawing and I am currently showing my art at an exhibition for the first time which makes me very happy :)
I already was a part of 3 different theatre and musical groups - with one of them we won two prizes at the DEGETH Festival (German Sign Language Theatre Festival).
I think I'm a mix between introvert and extrovert - I can be both.

It would be my dream to live in a warm, peaceful and beautiful place surrounded by nature and loving people. As this is my dream, I am always looking for THE place to stay or to build.
I was a social worker for 8 years, working with people with disabilities in the south of Germany. I lived in a shared 600 year old medieval house with 6 other people and 3 adorable cats. I currently quit my job for a gap year and am planning to travel the world.

I am willing to learn about almost anything and have many interests like alternative medicine, different religions and cultures, nature, ecology, meditation, psychology and pedagogy and many other.

I lived in a campervan for one year in Australia and also traveled South East Asia, Africa, Latinamerica and the USA and countries in Europe. And I wanna see more.

More details about your skills

I love languages singing, making music, doing arts and crafts like painting and making jewelry.
In my freetime I do yoga, meditation and love to travel and hike in nature.
I am open to learn new things and love talking about deep topics and philosophical topics, but I also enjoy lighthearted conversations and having fun and enjoying life.
I love connecting to people and nature and learning new things about gardening, plants and I would be so interested in permaculture and eco-sustainable living and building houses from clay and the land.

I did my Masters in deaf education and worked as a social worker, so I can teach Sign Language, German and English as I'm fluent in these and I'm currently trying to improve my Spanish, French and Arabic.

Annabel is the first guest we hosted at our HUB in TEOS.
She is no longer our host and she is part of the family :)
Many tasks we have done together and unfortunately our HUB still needed help with organising the concept thanks to her for hard work. We cook together, we eat together and sometimes of course siesta :)
I'm sure she will be coming … read more

I had an amazing time staying with Burak and Gizem and their lovely son Ardan. They really have become friends to me and we spent some great time together. I stayed for 2 weeks and my tasks were relatively easy most of the time: sweeping mulberries, drying them, preparing some food here and there, babysitting Ardan, and also (a bit harder) … read more

I am very grateful that I was accepted in this beautiful workaway at Clive's house! The work was easy and fun, mostly arts and crafts and it felt like family, because we met friends and the community often. And Clive works hard and has a lot of ideas that he puts into practice while being kindhearted and funny. I am really happy that I was part of … read more
