    Travelling

  • Description

    Caught in the routine of everyday life, I keep noticing: Hey, you can do that differently! Then I sit back and do the opposite of the original plan. I am closest to myself when I am traveling, because in everyday life, you often lose yourself. During my year abroad in New Zealand and my work and travel time, I discovered for myself visiting new places with an open heart, experiencing the way of life of the people, and learning new activities. Back to the roots as a motto. As a scout, I am used to not knowing what is coming and always trying to make the best out of the most hopeless situations. I am a quiet person, but once the environment is right, I love to open up and let my crazy side show. Music and nature always help me keep a good mood and find new courage. Running through the world with a joy for life is my main goal, and if it doesn't work out so well, I just have to get out of my routine and take a chance on something new!

  • More details about your skills

    I would say that I learn quickly, so for everything I can't do, I am always striving to implement it well and learn it. For me, good communication is the foundation for a good working relationship and mutual understanding. I have some experience in landscape maintenance through my one-year voluntary ecological year at a biological station. There, I spent endless hours building fences with the team and working with equipment such as brush cutters, mulchers, lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, scythes, etc. I helped the shepherd with sheep herding, was active in environmental education, and had harvest time for several months. I am currently studying ecosystem management and have also learned more about the interrelationships of nature and nature through my mandatory internship. I helped out on a strawberry farm, sweet potato farm, cherry farm, and pear farm in New Zealand, and occasionally did some gardening for older people. I am used to hard work and I find there is no better way to feel grounded and at peace at the end of the day. I am a creative person, try to solve problems efficiently and am motivated to learn new things.

  • What else ...

    I enjoy playing card games. During my travels, this was my main method for playing cards with random people. Chess is something I want to learn, and I often play backgammon. I play the guitar, ukulele, saxophone, and a little mandolin. Playing the harmonica is on my list of things I want to learn. This year I started bouldering and I especially enjoy swimming in cold water. I also enjoy doing yoga.
