Description

Hey there, I’m just trying to get around, see a little of the world and meet new people on the way:)

I am an independent, creative person who loves nothing more than getting to see or learn about new things; no matter the area and whether or not I’m already familiar with it, I will most likely want to know more.
Accordingly, I have a lot of different hobbies. I enjoy all forms of art, which includes drawing, crafting all sorts of things (such as jewellery, costumes or decorations), writing poetry and stories but also playing the drums and guitar. I also like trying out different kinds of sports, such as dancing or boxing.

I’ve always been a person who loves to go out and discover new places and people and after having mostly traveled in groups, Workaway is certainly a new experience. I want to get to know cultures different from my own and gain as much experience as possible, whether that be general, social or work experience.

More details about my language interests
I speak German and English fluently. German is my mother tongue and I scored C2 on my Cambridge certificate. My French isn’t nearly as good but it suffices to read and understand simple conversations…Mostly. I would be more than happy to improve it. As for teaching others, I could always give it a try!:)

More details about your skills

I finished my A-levels in Germany in 2025. I put a lot of effort into my studies and found myself to be the most fond of languages and social fields.
As a sort of bridge, I worked a full-time job at a production company.

As for more physical work, at my first Workaway position, I have done mostly painting, renovation, some building- and weeding jobs, so I’m familiar with handy work. I also volunteered at an animal rescue farm in Ireland for 1,5months, which was a very physical job, too. I’m currently helping out with renovation- and building tasks on a boat.

At school we had the opportunity to volunteer as contact people for 5th graders that don’t know their way around yet, which I did. We were a sort of link between the children and our teachers, as we were young enough for them to feel safe with us and old enough to properly communicate any issues we might have noticed to the teachers.
I also participated in a work group against discrimination at our school and in my last year, besides the theatre club, I decided to join a liturgy club, where we organised fairs and devotions for our school.

Any time we had to sell anything at school, I volunteered, too. This included putting up booths, decorating them, keeping them hygienic and doing the dishes as well as taking all of it down again, of course.
Outside of school, I have some experience as a waitress and a salesperson as well, as I’ve signed up for events that needed help a few times and sold items at flea markets or online.

In my free time, I like to work on my artsy and crafty skills, for example by renovating my room, painting my walls, arranging furniture and decorations but also practicing the drums, writing poetry or really just learning any skill I find interesting.
I’m currently teaching myself to be a better cook (you can actually eat what I cook now!!) and trying to improve my stamina as well as physical strength again.

I would say I’m a quick learner and good at improvising. I once set my mind to making an entire costume myself. I neither knew how to properly sew, nor how to paint clothes, nor did I have a high budget, but I somehow managed to craft a decent costume. Honestly, I still don’t know how I even did that, but apparently I have a knack for this sort of thing.:D

What else ...

I enjoy reading, from classic literature to fantasy, fiction and most other genres. Whenever I pass by a bookstore, I either go inside or really have to fight with myself not to.
My favorite music genres are rock, metal, anlternative and pop and concerts and festivals are probably where I feel the happiest.
I love photography, which is why I’ll always try to find a sort of aesthetic and look for pretty details, wherever I go. I especially like taking pictures when I’m outside in nature or out somewhere exploring new places.
I’m also a fan of museums and a film- and theatre enthusiast. Whenever there’s a new movie I want to watch, I’ll be at the cinema before it’s even out!!
