cauliflowers during lockdown)

you are happy to teach

I believe that workaway is a good opportunity to travel, broaden your mind, learn new skills, improve languages and contributing to different communities whilst beeing abroad.

I love the outdoors as well as vibrant cities.I have grown up In a small village with lots of farmers. I had a dog myself and I like animals in general. Therefore I am not afraid of harsh weather or physical work.

So far, I already had two workaway experiences in Asia:
Volunteering in a hostel in northern Vietnam, helping out in the hostel and leading tours, helping out in a safari company in Sri Lanka.

I am currently in Germany and will start my travels in November.

Best regards
Miriam
