Description
#1 Who am I?
I am from Austria, where I am currently living. I am passionate about languages, wildlife, photography and intercultural exchange and learning. I am a curious mind, scientist by nature, and love contrasts. I enjoy being in the outdoors, the wide, exposed to the power of untouched nature - that's where I thrive!
#2 What can I contribute to your projects?
I would be happy to contribute - and learn - anything related to languages, cultural exchange, research, tourism, photography, creativity, law, cooking and culinary experiences, building projects, wildlife, farming and nature conservation.
#3 What are my goals?
I wish to gain life skills and experience abroad, including physical work, such as construction and maintenance, outdoor and survival skills. Ultimately, my goal is to change my career from being a lawyer into the tourism sector, where I can live up to my full potential and benefit from my intercultural skills. My big dream is to - one day - build an eco lodge
#4 Where are my favourite places?
I am deeply connected with Southern Africa and Latin America, particularly with Namibia and Guatemala.

French: IntermediateMore details about my language interests
I am fluent in German, which is my mother tongue, as well as in Spanish and English. I am also quite advanced in Afrikaans and usually strive to learn at least the basics of the languages spoken in the places I go to. I have substantial experience in language exchange. I really enjoy the tandem-style of language learning, i.e., to mutually teach and learn the language of another person being a native speaker of that language. To me, this is the most natural, effective and beneficial form of language and intercultural learning.
