Give the gift of Workaway

Profile information

Travel information
I am currently
Travelling
Activities i am interested in:
I want to practice spirituality more, connecting and creating together and in nature. Lets sing to the guitar and dance around the fire!
Description
I am a open minded person who prefers talking about what really matters in our lives rather than small talk.

I do appreciate inspiration about alternative lifestyles because I am still working on my own long-term vision. During the last years my path lead through hiking the camino, digital nomading and workaway in South America and Vanlife in Germany/Europe. Also I am into Spirituality and spending much time in nature.

I see myself as a mediator and team player so it is easy for me working with anyone, as long as the other respects me in the same way.

I am motivated, grateful and adventurous.

What I'm looking for:
- community, connection and sharing from the heart
- singing with the guitar, sitting at the bonfire
- working and creating together under the open sky
- bonds to the place and people, so I can come back

More details about your skills
I am a socioeconomist who used to work in education and the social sector. So I am good with leading groups and teaching (mathematics and English, I specialized in fostering intercultural and social skills). I am also a wilderness pedagogue and so my passion is to form learn settings in nature, learning about plants, ecosystems, how to have a good time outside in a group.

I am good with handycrafting and I like to work with wood. I have some experience taking care about plants and I would like to learn more about gardening as well as plant medicine.

I grew up in a rural place, so I had contact to animals and would also like to learn more about taking care of them.

I stayed with Uschi in total about 3 weeks and had a really good time. I helped her in the garden and with translating into Spanish. Also we went together to the city to get done some tasks like buying materials, bringing trash to the waste disposal or bureaucratical things. We spent some evenings together, having delicious dinners and good… read more

Es war schön Marlene hierzuhaben. Sie war auf der Durchreise mit ihrem Wohnmobi für einige Tage hier. Sie ist eine interessante junge Frau mit viel Reiseerfahrung . Wir hatten gute Gespräche, haben zusammen gekocht, ein großes Feuer gemacht um Gartengestrüpp zu verbrennen usw. Aber da das Wetter meist regnerisch war, konnten wir nicht so viel im… read more

I enjoyed teaching here. The team was very helpful in preparing my classes, I followed the book but could also take much time for my own ideas. Also the teachers were interested in doing activities together what's super nice. Just I would have liked to know before that Barbosa is quite a noisy place, much traffic and loud events where happening… read more

Lene came mainly to help in the house, cook and take care of our little girl, and we were super glad to have her. I really liked that she paid attention to details in the house, and she always respect the instructions :). She is also a good cook :) Thank you Marlene <3

It was a great adventure to spend three weeks in Puerto Lara. I loved teaching the locals and learned a lot about the forest, the locals way of living and traditions.
It was not an easy workaway (I was one of the first volunteers, many tons were not clear that time) but I am so thankful I could make this experience!! I’d love to come back in some… read more

I stayed at Felix place in summer 2020 for about two weeks with a friend. It was a real adventure to accompany him, help with different tasks (such as picking potatoe bugs) and also meet his friends. Felix is a generous guy who is always with a good mood and flexible in terms of tasks and organizing the day.

Ich war im April eine Woche bei Alba und den Jungs. Es war eine super schöne Zeit. Wir haben uns zusammen um den Garten gekümmert und einige Ställe entrümpelt. Alba ist eine herzliche, aufmerksame Person, die mich gut verpflegt hat. Die Kinder sind sehr lebendig und es hat mir Spaß gemacht Zeit mit ihnen zu verbringen. Das Zimmer ist sehr… read more

Ich durfte knapp vier Wochen bei Christa bleiben und es war eine großartige Erfahrung für mich, die mir in lieber Erinnerung bleiben wird.
Christa hat mir liebevoll ein eigenes schönes Zimmer hergerichtet und mich jeden Tag bestens versorgt. Sie hat uns auch nach Essenswünschen gefragt und es lagen immer Essen und Snacks bereit, die wir uns… read more
