  • Description

    Hey, my name is Tanja. I am 37 years old and I was born and am also living in NRW, Germany.
    I think I can say about myself that I am an open minded person who is very curious and especially enthusiastic.
    I am excited to see, explore, learn and to connect with new interesting people, hear new stories, get some new inspiration and learn more about myself and grow with this experience/challenge.
    Also I am a very tidy, concientious person and sometimes also a bit of a perfectionist.

    In 2012 I made my biggest dream come true and got the chance to live 13 months in the US as an au pair on a horse farm. I truely loved this amazing experience. Since then I know that anything you want to do is possible. I grew so much as a person and I am willing to continue growing and experiencing while travelling and working in other countries.
    During that year I also went vegetarian and since 2015 I am living vegan.

    Needless to say that I love an respect all animals as well as being around and helping them.

    You can count me in for:
    Working with computers, media in general, social media, internet, photogrpahy, picture editing, film + video cut (https://www.youtube.com/@travelhoot) or anything else with the computer like back office and administrative tasks. Except of programming ;).
    I always like to help in the house, cleaning, doing chores, taking care of animals, gardening, helping with tourists/customers, ... Just teach me, I am willing to learn.

    Working with animals is always a great experience that I love. At the same time it is really important to me that the animals are treated well and with respect, nothing happening against their will. They`re here with us, not for us.

    I love to meet natives and real people who give thoughts to certain topics, people who I can learn from and contribute to something great. Just a time off the daily routine to evolve and not a typical holiday.

    From October until December I'm on a sabbatical and am looking for places to stay and contribute during this time.

    Thank you so much for reading. :)
