Description

My name is Lea and I am from Germany. I am 20 years old. This year I did my high school Diploma and now I am looking very forward to use my free year for work and travel in New Zealand.
I am a an outgoing person and I love to get to know new people and cultures. I love to have people around me with whom I can talk, laugh and from whom I can learn new things to broaden my horizon.
I am a very cheerful, inquisitive, conscientious and adventures person and I have already traveled to many other countries.
New Zealand I travel the first time and I am very much looking forward to get to know the New Zealand culture, its people and the beautiful nature.
I love animals and nature and it makes me always happy when I can make other people and animals happy and help them.
Familie and friens are a big part of my life and I spend a lot of time with them.
In my freetime I love to ride my own horse in the nature, go jogging and swimming and from time to time I love to paint pictures and to be creative.
Furthermore I love hiking and skiing. These activities I often do with my family on vacation.
Generally I am a person who can never get bored well and always need to be active.
Workaway was recommended to me by a friend who had also done work and travel in New Zealand a year earlier, so I found out more about workaway and was very quickly exited about the idea of being part of this great community.
I am really looking forward to gaining many new experiences in New Zealand and meeting new nice people.
