Description

Hello everybody :)

I studying education science and before this I worked seven years as a Montessori kindergarten teacher.

I'd like to combine studying and travelling. For this, I prefer a slow travelling in Europe, for what workaway seems perfect.

Until now I’ve traveled a lot through Asia, but I’ve also in Europe like bicycling from Germany to the sea in Italy or through Slovenia. I’m a curious, open minded, outgoing person who likes to laugh, be active and love variety. I’d be super happy to continue to get inspired by people on or from all over the world. While traveling I moreover love it to gain new experiences, learn about other cultures and broaden my horizons.

I eating vegetarian/vegan (no meat/fish/gelatin), but have no problem if other people eat other food. I only asked for not to cook meat or fish. I don't smoke, I don't take drugs and I can easily abstain from alcohol if it is desired. It is natural for me to have my mobile phone out of reach while working with children, be reliable and responsible.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you!
