Description

I'm currently a student of sports and IT to become a teacher and have taken some time off to pursue one of my biggest hobbies: traveling. I travel to learn new things, broaden my horizons, and experience new cultures. So far, I've only done this by staying with host families during exchange programs or traveling through hostels/in a van. Now I've heard about Workaway and thought I'd like to try this kind of travel and take a look into a different way of life.
Until now I visited Europe, east-southern Asia, Australia, North America and Colombia. I always travelled with family or friends. Sometimes we stayed in Hostels, a few times we rent or bought a van and lived in it.
I also spend a few months living in a host family in France and in the US while l went to school. This was a great experience to get to know another life.

In my free time, I love to read (thriller. Science fiction - I'm open to everything), do sports like swimming, running and climbing, and see my family and friends regularly. I also love playing cards and board games with friends. My favourite game is Rummicub or the Crew which is a cooperative game.

Before studying I did a trainee in a company and worked a year as a data analyst. After doing a social year in a sports club I realized I have to combine it and started to study sports and IT.
Now while studying in Germany I work as a coach for young children (3-6 years old) in gymnastics. Every week we choose a topic and build up a parcour which fits to the topic (e.g. firefighters or the moon).
I also worked as a teacher for immigrant students who are waiting for a place at school. So I showed them our culture, the city and teached them German.
Once a year I do a holiday care for children between 6-10 years.

Reliability is very important to me, and also spending time with people and learning new things. I am interested in doing things I don't do usually, broadening my horizon and take new ideas, memories and feelings back home.
