Description

Hi, I'm Lea :)
I am a sensitive sun lover with curiosity for life and warmth for the people around me.
I'm 27, originally from Germany but haved lived somewhere else (here and there in Italy and Turkey) between August 22 and October 23. Then end of October I moved to Genova, where I will be settling down a bit. :) Nevertheless I'm more than happy and open to meet and collaborate with the people around me. Since I work in homeoffice as a freelancer, I'm quite flexible.

I left Germany and my life there because I haven't felt connected and fullfilled anymore, more likely I was living against myself and I truly felt at some point, that it is time for me to change that. So I left for Italy without a major plan, just with this idea to start over and to try to live more close to myself, expressing, communicating and listening to me and to others, in order to be able to do good for others, while feeling myself. And it was the right decision, I love it, I feel like I'm stretching my body, soul and mind. And I'd like to continue here.

I am a creative writer, editor and proofreader, writing advisor and language teacher and I love to be in touch with others and to communicate in an artistic way, expressing what we experience and see.

I look very much forward to the future time of this journey and I am inviting you to share some time with me. :)

All the best and love
Lea

More details about your skills

- due to the current job: editing and proofreading, communication, coaching in writing, teaching German, time and self management in homeoffice

- graduated university studies:
B.A.: history, german philology
M.A.: literary studies & criticism
- other training/apprenticeship while studying: academic writing consultant with working experience incl. research, online communication, giving workshops and PR. This training enables me as well to give creative and academic writing workshops. In Göttingen (GER) and Genova (IT) I organised a group of writers and drawers who were interested in sharing their texts and in working together in a creative, open and respectful environment.

- former jobs:
coaching students while writing their thesis,
teaching English, Spanish, French and German to teenagers,
helping out at a literature festival in Germany,
caring for elderly persons,
helping out at a tiny gourmet food store,
and voluntary: working with and for refugees incl. ER, writing/translating for publicity as well as teaching German.

- workaway experiences:
hostel reception, event hosting, bar/kitchen assistance (English/Italian/German/Spanish/French),
appartment, hostel and beach cleaning,
kayak and stand up paddle class in a watersport center (French/English),
caring for and training of dogs,
gardening and farming,
housekeeping and cooking,
taking care of guests (English/Italian).

I am a sensitive, empathic person with a feeling for people and moods and have quite a lot of experience in consulting also in a psychological sense - without having a degree in that field, this is just what I learned during research, practicing, reflecting and therapy. I feel like those experiences help me now helping others. In fact, this helps me in addition to connect with animals and to be sensitive for their needs and way of communication. In general I connect deeply with people and animals quite fast and have good access to both my emotions and those of others.
