Description

Hey I’m Esther and just getting started with my workaway experience. I am from Germany but I like other countries more 😅 I’ve been living in India for a year and in Vienna for half a year. I am travelling a lot and am interested to see much, much more of the world . I love the outdoors and animals, vegan food, yoga, gardening, and learning about different approaches and perspectives of life. I’m a fast learner, reliable and trustworthy and experienced in many different work fields such as social work, flight attending, project management. I’m 34 years old, married & no kids, currently living in a camper van travelling through Europe . My husband works full time remotely as a software engineer while I am searching for different work opportunities that will enrich my life experience in a new and exciting way other than the ‘corporate’ jobs I had before. If the jobs are contributing to sustainability, human rights or animal welfare that would be a big plus +++

More details about your skills

I have worked with children (teaching, tutoring and babysitting), elderly people (care and special programs) and people with special needs in different work settings. I am a studied social worker but have also worked as a flight attendant and project assistant in one of Germany’s biggest construction project for railways. I have volunteered in India in a school with kids with special needs and assistance requirements. And in Austria on a farm with horses, goats, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, rabbits etc. there I was assisting in the horse therapy sessions and animal pedagogy with school classes. But was also living in the stables and helping with all the chores there, which was sometimes pretty tough work especially during the cold austrian winter months .
I am horse riding since I’m a child and used to have many horses to take care of including all stable works. I am a quick learner, hard working and very flexible. But also enjoy my time around people, getting to know them and spending good times together.

Age

What else ...

My husband and I are travelling in our camper van. While he is working remotely full time I am looking for interesting projects to participate and to help with. So if there would be a parking place for our self sufficient van that would be ideal but not necessary.
