Description

Hi, my name is Petra. I have to admit, I am not that young anymore. I am a retired journalist, but still writing for travel and women magazines. I like traveling, but all alone sometimes it can be a bit boring, because you cannot share your special moments. That is why workaway is such a great idea, even if you are not that young anymore. Working or helping abroad makes you feel easily at home. You make friends with the locals and they can show you their favorite places and their way of life. On top, you have the great opportunity to learn a new language or improve those you have already learned. All these points prevent you of getting old. I hope at least. Last year I spent three month as a "granny aupair" in Munich. It was a great experience. I am looking forward to new adventures. This year hopefully in Italy or France, my favourite destinations.

More details about my language interests
I speak German as native language. Since I come from the northern part of Germany I do not have any dialect or accent. I speak English fluently (I studied English to become a teacher). My French is not too bad. Italian? Well, I am just a beginner. But it would be great if someone could teach me this beautiful language. As a „granny aupair“ I would like to teach German, but I could also help children in their homework in English or French.
