Currently travelling through Central America with Guatemala & Nicaragua coming up next, looking for volunteer opportunities teaching (English, Computer, etc) or assisting with project management.

Description

My name is Kristina, 45 years old and from Berlin, Germany.
I am currently taking a sabbatical and travelling the world alternating volunteer work with sight seeing. I started my journey in Central Asia (Aug/Sept 24), continued in Africa (Oct 24 - Jan 25), and just arrived in Central America where I will stay until May 25.
Professionally I have been working as a Senior Project Manager/ Account Manager in the eCommerce and BPO industry, setting up and managing projects in many different countries (Europe, Africa, South America & Asia).

During previous travels in 2018 I discovered volunteer work via workaway as an amazing opportunity to really get to know other countries and cultures while helping local communities.

Previously I have done volunteer projects in Nepal (dog shelter & orphanage), and taught English to children in Cambodia and Kenya and to young adults in Vietnam. In the last 6 months I have been a return visitor and teacher at the primary school in rural Kenya, have volunteered at a school and a nature camp on Zanzibar and spent 2 weeks at an organic farm/ anti-deforestation project in Zambia assisting with social media and document writing.

I‘d love to work with children or young adults (e.g.teaching languages or PC skills) but can also help out in any environment that requires project management, business development or project & organizational skills. I hold a TEFL (Teaching English as a foreign language) certification and have just completed my Spanish A2 exam.
