Description

Hey I'm Marie,
I'm from Germany and finished school this summer.
Here in New Zealand I'm looking forward to meet some nice people and explore the country.
I think Workaway is a great option to really dive into the local lifestyle, make connections and also gain some new skills.
I'm really impressed by the beauty of New Zealand's nature and would be happy to learn more about its flora and fauna.
Moreover I'm happy to meet new people and getting in touch with locals. I want to get to know the country a bit better than just see it from a tourist point of view.
I would describe myself as a open and communicative person.
In Germany I've lived in shared flats for a year and gained a lot of experience in living together with other people. This time also made me a independent person.
My parents live on a small farm on the country side. I grew up together with horses and dogs and like to be around animals.
I like physical work like the work around the horses table aswell as more social interactive jobs. So far I gained work experience as a cashier and a waitress.
In my free time I like to meet with friends, do arts and play the guitar. I also started to do yoga and try to bring myself to go for a run more often haha.
If this sounds like we could get along to you....
...maybe our paths will cross!
Looking forward to meet you :)
