Hey there!
I am Lea, 21-year-old and live in Freiburg, Germany which is right next to France and Switzerland in the middle of the black forest. This location comes with an atmosphere, in which everyone would like to connect with other people and the environment. In summer this means a love for cycling down the "Dreisam"- River or going to one of the many lakes around here and in winter, a nice place to play in the snow on the one hand and on the other hand, a nice view out of the window with a hot chocolate :)
I grew up in Mannheim, came to Freiburg in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic, and decided to stay. Now I study social work, since I wanted to do something with meaning and where I had the feeling, that I might change or help on a matter that seems important to me.
As a side job I work at the 'international club' of the student service, where we plan events for students around cultural exchange and make theme evenings or study tours in and around Freiburg. Through this work, I have already met people from around the world, but like to use Workaway as an opportunity to extend this experience in the 'outside' world.
I do kickboxing, sew, and I like to be creative in my free time. I am a pretty talkative and open-minded person, as I am interested in other opinions, ways of living and thinking. For a healthy balance, I enjoy spending time alone while going on a walk with music in my ears or depending on the mood, either reading or watching movies cuddled in my bed.

Since I have worked a lot with kids, elderly, and handicapped people in the past, therefore I have a lot of experience in assessing social situations. Social work has taught me to be patient, how to adjust to groups quickly, a lot of things regarding sof skills in general.
Since sports has played a major role in my life for a couple of years now (first calithenics, power lifting and now kickboxing) it does help with certain helping activities, since I have developed strength and condition :)
I often translate for people which can helo too. I do understand and speak Russian as I grew up bilingual and understand Spanish. I also was fluent once... now I would need a dictionary app to be as fluent as before :)
Maybe it could be helpful that I sew? My boyfriends' mother taught me sewing and the feeling of wearing something that you have fully made is definitely unbeatable. I therefore have already fixed some of my friends stuff as well...Age
