Description

Hi,

I’m Niklas, 26 years old from Germany.

I recently decided to take a step out of my usual routine to fulfill a long-standing goal of living abroad, improving my English and experiencing life from a different perspective. I’m an open-minded, positive and reliable person who enjoys meeting new people and being part of a community.

In my daily life I have several years of professional experience in the real estate field, where I worked in different areas and learned to take responsibility, stay organized and work independently. At the same time, I really enjoy being active, spending time outdoors and trying new things.

I already have international experience, as I lived in the USA for several months (2019/2020) as part of a scholarship program. This experience had a big impact on me and made me even more curious about other cultures and ways of living.

For my stay in New Zealand, I’m looking for a place where I can connect with people, contribute in a meaningful way and experience the local lifestyle.

I’m happy to help with different kinds of tasks and I’m open to learning new things and adapting to what is needed.

I’m especially interested in social environments where people live or work together, share experiences and create a positive atmosphere.

In my free time I enjoy sports, being active and spending time with friends. I’m also a big football /soccer fan and have been going to matches regularly for many years. I also enjoy nature, good conversations and I’m interested in learning new things like surfing.

I would describe myself as friendly, respectful, adaptable and motivated to help wherever needed.

Looking forward to meeting you!

More details about my language interests
Improving my English is one of my biggest goals and something I’m really motivated about. It has been a personal goal of mine for a long time to become fluent, and I’m excited to finally take this step and fully immerse myself in the language. I already have a good basic level and I’m looking forward to improving it through daily conversations and real-life experiences. At the same time, I’m happy to help others with German if there is interest. I really enjoy communication and connecting with people from different cultures.

More details about your skills

I bring a combination of practical skills, a strong sense of responsibility and a structured way of working to a Workaway experience.

Hands-on tasks like assembling furniture, painting or simple repairs are familiar to me from helping around the house. I’m also comfortable with general household duties such as cleaning and cooking, and I’m used to keeping things organized and tidy. Gardening is something I’ve also done on a smaller scale and I’m always open to learning more.

Through several years of professional experience, I’m used to working in a structured and reliable way. Planning, organizing and taking responsibility are part of how I approach tasks. I like to do things properly and not just halfway, and I’m known for being solution-oriented and thinking ahead. Adapting to new systems or situations is something that comes naturally to me.

Working with people is one of my biggest strengths. I’m open, communicative and enjoy interacting with others. I have experience in customer-facing roles as well as international experience from my time in the USA, where I also worked in a professional environment.

I also have experience working with children, for example as a soccer coach for a young team (around 5–8 years old). I generally connect well with people and bring a positive and relaxed energy into a group.

Being active is an important part of my life, so physical work is no problem for me.

I have a driver’s license and speak German and English (intermediate level), as well as some basic French.

Overall, I would describe myself as reliable, motivated, adaptable and easy to work with.

What else ...

Enjoying the simple things in life plays an important role for me – being outside, having good conversations, laughing and sharing moments with others.

Traveling, discovering new places, meeting new people and experiencing adventures is something I truly enjoy. Creating memories, being open to the unexpected and making the most out of every situation is what makes these experiences special to me.

Staying active is part of my lifestyle, whether it’s playing sports, going for a run or exploring new areas. At the same time, relaxed evenings with music, cooking together or simply spending time with others are just as important.

A positive and easygoing mindset comes naturally to me, and I like to bring good energy into a group. Being part of a community where people support each other and enjoy their time together is something I really value.

Mindfulness also plays a role in my life. Taking time to slow down, be present and occasionally practice meditation helps me stay balanced and grounded.

Open-mindedness, curiosity and a willingness to try new things are qualities that describe me well.
