Description

Hi, I'm Max, a 25 year old master student, sports fanatic and nature lover from Germany.

My keen interest in global economics led me to graduate Foreign Trade and International Management last year and a drive to develop an in-depth understanding of foreign cultures. To do this, I think it's crucial to approach countries in a more realistic/practical way and get in touch or work with the locals - instead of just visiting the typical tourist routes.

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” -T.E. Lawrence

More details about your skills

Being raised in a family business in the hotel and gastronomy sector, I know how to be reliable part of a familiar community that works for a collective goal. In the last years I mainly worked in loud marketing offices and managed hectarwide warehouses. Despite that, I don't hesitate getting my hands dirty. As a teenager I was also engaged in dirty construction sites, muddy gardening facilities, volunteered in governmental institutions and on a equestrian facilities. In addition to my mother tongue German I speak fluent business English and strive to develop my Spanish.

Having a little brother and a sister, I'm practiced how to teach my younger siblings in subjects like mathematics, natural sciences, politics/society, sports and most other common school topics.

As for my work and travel in South America, I am open to any position that is somehow correlated with my prior experiences or includes a rural workplace. I'd like to learn and to teach - knowledge exchange is my main goal on this journey.
