Description

Hey,
my name is Madelaine. I live in the south of Germany at a small farm and worked for nearly ten years as a social worker (with deprived young adults) and also self-embloyed, supporting families and their free learning or homeschooling children and prepare young people for external school qualifications. I have also done different further education in pedagogical fields. Since March of this year, I have been in training to become a learning therapist.

I worked in different fields like teaching German or planning and perform nature camps (for school classes) of several days duration for NABU (nature protection organisation). On the farm here I help with the cows and take care for the chickens.

I am a mother of two grown-up children and started travelling and living abroad as they where young boys. We lived in Kenia, (where I worked for an NGO), in Canada and nearly three years in the south of France ( unfortunately without learning the language). I have also done many trips with them to different countries and we like to travell together until now.

I love to read and to photograph with attention to documentary photography but I also like artistic photography and the theoretical and technical part of photography. I am interested in different topics i.e. art and culture, gardening, literature, nutrition and cooking, (free) education, sociological topics and also in environmental issues.

Most of the time, I ´m a more silent person, who likes to dream, think and observe (more listener than talker) and like to spend some time on my own but also very social, caring and able to get (fast) a good connection to people.

I enjoy working physically and like to help by whatever has to be done.

Best wishes
Madelaine
