    Travelling

    Activities i am interested in:

    Wherever I am, I love to explore the nature around, doing hikes, taking pictures, getting to know the culture and religion and spending time with the local people and travelers around me.

  • Description

    At the beginning of 2022 I started my travels trough Morocco, Ireland and the south of Europe and I didn't know at all what to expect. The only thing I knew is that I want to learn about new ways of living, new cultures and countries I've never been before. When I started my first Workaway in the South of Spain I knew: I want to do more of this. I loved to be able to learn new things every day, participate in projects and help building and creating things in different parts of the world.

    At the end of 2023 I started to travel trough Asia, I explored Sri Lanka and Indonesia and now in spring of 2024 I finally made it to Nepal, a country I wanted to explore since so many years. In Nepal I want to do some Trekkings, get to know the history and culture of this very colourful and beautiful country and I'd love to participate in some local projects.

    Trough Workaway I got to know a lot of inspiring people and was able to work and live in beautiful places. Thanks to those people I learned in the last two years about their culture, gardening, how it is to live in a community and I'm looking forward to many other things to learn, see and experience.

  • More details about your skills

    My curiosity let me learn new skills pretty fast and during the last 4 years of working in different jobs and traveling in Europe, Afrika and Asia I collected a lot of experience in many different jobs and environments.

    I learned about gardening while working on an organic farm in the north of Ireland, in an eco lodge in south of Portugal and on a farm in Grand Canaria. I learned about Permaculture, and discovered the joy of working with plants and animals, built a cage for chickens and planted all different kind of vegetables and did may other jobs in the garden. Also I worked for a foundation in the south of Sri Lanka for children and family in need and learned about Fundraising while creating event for tourists. I volunteered in a hostel, worked as a puppy sitter or wall painter and enjoyed every single work I was able to do trough Workaway in the last 2 years.

    Photography fascinates me since I can think. While travelling I always go around with my camera to catch unique moments. When I was working as a journalist in Switzerland after my high-school graduation and also during the last 2 years of traveling I got to improve that skill and I really love to create thing and projects with my camera. Recently I learned how to handle an analog camera and develop the pictures by myself. If there's the chance to help you with a photo project at your place I'm more than happy to get creative with my camera!

    I discovered my flair for languages as a child. At grammar school I worked on my English and French. After I got my Matura, I was allowed to work as a journalist in an editorial office for nine months and was able to multiply my writing in German. During my time abroad, I would like to improve my French and Italian, as well as learning another language - Spanish.

    Also I'm more than happy to teach how to do a headstand, handstand or other acrobatic things since I learned those skills in the years where I was an artistic cycling athlete and I'm more than happy to give some beginner acrobatic lessons :)
