Description
I started traveling in summer 2016, after finishing my study as a vet. I grew up in Berlin and spending most of my life in a big city I realised pretty soon, that that's not the way of life I want to have. I am a nature person and I would always choose the remote countryside over a city. The first time I travelled for more than a few weeks was after graduating from school. I went to South Africa and Mozambique for 10 months and volunteered in a monkey rescue centre and an animal shelter. During the Worldcup I worked in a hostel as a cook for one month and the rest of the time I travelled around with people I met on my way.
I am a very active person. I love to go running, cycling and swimming, was playing Capoeira for many years and discovered Yoga for a while ago. I enjoy to make and listen to music, read and be outside as much as possible. I am curious to learn new things and eager to step out of my comfort zone to get to know different ways of living, meet new people and make a lot of new experiences.

More details about your skills
I graduated in veterinary medicine, but I never worked as a vet, so I don't have much practical experience (except from a few internships mainly with dogs, cats and birds).
I love to cook and bake healthy vegan food and during the last years I worked in many places as a chef and learned a lot about nutrition and different diets. I am not a qualified dietitian, but I do have a lot of knowledge in that field and I am studying about it whenever possible.
I have been working for an event caterer for almost 6 years during my study in Berlin and I worked in several cafes. In 2017 I also had a paid job for two months as a waitress and kitchen help in a hotel in Austria. So I have many experiences in gastronomy.
But what I enjoy to do the most is working in the garden - with plants, building something from wood and stones and working with animals. I am not afraid to get dirty hands and I don't mind doing hard work, especially when it is outside.
Experiences I made so far doing Workaway/Helpx:
Building steps, differents styles of plant-cultivating beds, chicken tractors, an oustide shower, a Jean Pain, a rocket stove..., planting crops and trees, grafting, lots of weeding, olive-picking, working with cement and natural material, repointing walls, preserving vegetables and fruits in different ways, painting walls (also artistic paintings), running a hostel, cooking for up to 50 guests, baking fresh breads and cakes to sell, cleaning guest rooms,.... I learned the basic principles of permaculture and synergistic gardening.

What else ...
We love to explore nature where ever we are and are less interested in seeing sights in a city. We are travelling to learn, open our minds and to experience the authentic local live.

The hostel is very cosy and it felt truly like a home to me. The terrace is just the best for enjoying the sun and having some nice conversations with the guests. The staff room is a bit like a cave ;P, but it was nice to have a place just for us volunteers,… read more
