Description

I'm a nature-loving, open-minded, and thoughtful traveler who enjoys being on the move to get to know myself and life better. People often find me calm, warm, present, and reliable.

I'm traveling through Europe in my car, and I like not just to see places but to truly experience them—through everyday life, working together, and genuine encounters.

I'm originally from Germany and am currently traveling through France, Spain or portugese.

This region simply draws me in—without any particular reason. It's close to Germany, easily accessible, and I'm eager to explore it even during the winter months.

My journey isn't so much a typical "vacation" but rather an inner quest:

I want to find out where I want to live, which countries, regions, or places truly call to me—because I don't know that yet. It's precisely this openness that makes the journey so valuable to me.

I strongly believe in the power of nature and that a conscious lifestyle contributes significantly to inner balance. That's why I'm deeply involved with:

- natural, mindful nutrition

- vegetarian, vegan, and raw food cuisine

- sustainability & simple living

- mindful use of resources

- genuine connections between people

I'm particularly drawn to learning new things – for example, about gardening, fermentation, or food production. I enjoy helping out, pitching in, and learning best by doing.

In my free time:

- I spend a lot of time outdoors in nature

- I go for walks and explore new places

- I love to move/stretch/dance

- I listen to a lot of music

- I enjoy cooking mindfully and experimenting with healthy cuisine

- I read, reflect, and enjoy deep conversations

- I also appreciate quiet, simple days

I like to work practically, reliably, and with passion – whether in the garden, around the house, in the kitchen, or on other projects.

I'm new to Workaway, but the idea immediately appealed to me:

Traveling, making connections, learning new things, and contributing something meaningful at the same time.

I'm looking for encounters on equal footing, learning together, and experiences that go beyond simply traveling. I see Workaway as a wonderful opportunity to gather inspiration for my future and meet people who think and feel similarly.

I look forward to open encounters, working together, exchanging ideas, and discovering along the way where it feels right for me to live.

More details about your skills

My experience is diverse and very practical. I am reliable, proactive, and open-minded, and I appreciate meaningful work that fosters genuine community.

I have several house-sitting and pet-sitting experiences, taking care of homes, animals, and everything that goes with them – from feeding and tidying to running errands and organizing firewood. This has taught me to take responsibility and work independently.

I also have experience with practical tasks around the house, property, and garden. I've used a chainsaw and chopped wood – certainly with room for improvement, but always with respect, care, and a willingness to learn.

Cooking is second nature to me. I enjoy helping in the kitchen, work cleanly and mindfully with food, and primarily eat vegetarian, vegan, and raw food. I am particularly interested in learning more about food production, fermentation, and self-sufficiency.

Furthermore, I have experience working in a retreat center, primarily in the area of ​​care and support – assessing needs, providing assistance, being present, and helping with daily tasks and in the kitchen. I work calmly and attentively, with a good sense for people and situations.

I can also provide practical support in everyday life: shopping, running errands, or taking care of tasks. I have a driver's license, drive safely, and am open to taking on responsibility and making daily life noticeably easier.

Overall, I am reliable, enjoy learning by doing, and welcome opportunities to be part of a project or community for a limited time.
