Description
Hey,
I’m Pauli, 27 years old, and I live in Cologne, where I work as a psychotherapist. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors — hiking, running, doing yoga, cycling, or exploring nature with friends. I enjoy discovering new places, being active, and connecting with people.
I’m also involved in volunteering projects that promote social inclusion. For example, I accompany an elderly man with dementia to a painting class or spend time with him playing table tennis or outdoors. These encounters mean a lot to me — I love learning from other people’s life stories and find it deeply fulfilling and inspiring to connect across generations and cultures.
I’ve spent several months abroad in England, Poland, and the USA, which taught me how to adapt quickly to new environments, approach people openly, and adjust to different ways of living.
In February, I’m taking a short break of about four weeks and would love to spend this time in the south of Europe — ideally on a farm with animals, especially horses.
I grew up in the countryside, surrounded by animals, gardening, and nature. Since moving to the city, I’ve really missed that, so I’m very excited about the opportunity to be physically active again, work outdoors, and spend time with animals.
I’m happy to help wherever needed — with stable work, gardening, cooking, or simple manual tasks. Most of all, I’m looking forward to learning new practical skills, working as part of a team, and immersing myself in a different way of life for a while 😊 -

More details about your skills
I’m a reliable, motivated and hands-on person who enjoys learning new things and helping wherever I can.
Because I work as a psychotherapist, I’m very attentive, patient, and good at communication and teamwork — I enjoy connecting with people from different backgrounds and supporting a positive, open atmosphere.
From growing up in the countryside, I have some basic experience with animals and gardening — feeding, cleaning, helping with small farm tasks, and taking care of plants. I’m comfortable getting my hands dirty and working physically.
I also like cooking and helping in the household, and I’m quick to learn new practical skills, whether it’s repairing, organizing, or creative projects.
Overall, I’m open-minded, curious, and happy to contribute wherever I’m needed. -
