    Travelling

  • Description

    Hi,
    I am travelling by bike from Germany to Mongolia. During the wintertime I will stay in Cyprus and will continue my journey when temperatures in Asia will be more friendly to outdoor campers.

    I love nature, music (guitar, singing, throat singing) and having a fun time with nice people.
    I am motivated by my soul to bring some light in that world and to leave things better then when I came.

    IMPORTANT:
    During my stays in Cyprus I need to work a part-time job besides volunteering at your place.

    More details about my language interests
    I learned Latin in school. This helped me to get an deep understanding of grammar. But honestly I like to teach and learn languages in a more fun way. Imho grammar mistakes are irrelevant as long as people understand each other. When you reach that point you can go deeper into it and embellish the grammar

  • More details about your skills

    I am 29years old and kind of multitalented.

    2014: After school I discovered my love to travel and had my first big trip. But I had to interrupt it after 4 Month because I had a bad accident, had to go back to Germany and got cured. On this trip I made some very important decisions for my life and got known to my soul. From that on this energy guides me.

    2016: before starting a CARPENTRY apprenticeship I went to India for 10 weeks and made a YOGA-TEACHER-training.
    Back in Germany I learned in three years to build furniture and got lots of construction and working experiences. I started working as a part-time YOGATEACHER.

    2020: while the pandemia started I lived with a shaman and his family in the south of Colombia. I learned a lot about my self, the power of masterplants and the healing potential of music. Here I also got clear about what I want to study.

    Because of pandemia I decided to go back to Europe and stayed at a PERMACULTURE farm in Portugal for several month. With the idea of riding back on horses to Germany but to less money to buy horses I drove back in a van and started to work in a company which constructs wooden playgrounds.

    2020: Because the bad travel situation caused by covid I started studying social work.

    2022: I spent an internship semester at an experiential-education NGO and learned the art of guiding groups in nature.

    2024: I finished university and started my bike trip from Germany to Mongolia.


    In the last years I worked as a yoga teacher, experiential and outdoor educator and held workshops about upcycling and simple woodwork.
    Furthermore I volunteered and co-founded an open workshop for bicycles, woodwork, neighbourhood solidarity and sustainability.


    After my bike trip I want to found social agriculture at the permaculture farm of a friend. The idea is to bring lost youngsters to a safe place where they can developed by the help of mother nature.

    For now I am looking for a nice place to stay during my time in Cyprus.

    Important for you to know:
    Besides volunteering I also need to get some money to finance my trip.
    That doesn't mean you should pay me but I probably will have a part-time job parallel to volunteering at your place.
    I applied at some hotels as a yoga teacher but didn't get an answer yet. Other possibilities would be: bicycle guide or mechanic, carpenter, lifeguard, busking or even Callcenter agent. I am open to other ideas.

  • What else ...

    I love playing guitar and make some music.
    I love to play chess... and other games.
    I love swimming.
    And I always love to learn new stuff.

    Respect is very important for me!
    I will respect your house and home and will be grateful for your hospitality. But I also need you to respect me as a guest and not as the cheapest labor around.
