Description
As a 23-year old IR student by day, a teacher by heart, and a language lover by birth, I have always strived to see beyond the socially constructed notions of borders -whether it be national, cultural, well, anything in between and beyond. I am driven by a curiosity about the world and a wish to learn from perspectives so thankfully different from mine in my goal to promote (intersectional) respect for all.
Otherwise, I do morning yoga every morning, and I love to cuddle my doggo. I have volunteering experience from both community, humanitarian and educational projects (both abroad as well as in Denmark I have taught at various schools both as a substitute teacher and as a reading assistant teaching literacy.

More details about your skills
I am an excellent teacher who loves to teach - and to learn new languages. I have vast experience in teaching, in particular literacy for dyslexic children and children with reading difficulties in general, though I have also taught my share of math and languages. Further, I have experiences both working and volunteering in shops with customer contact, reception work etc.
I also have volunteer experience in organisations and NGOs both in Denmark and abroad, where I am used to take the lead, initiate new projects and be the primus motor for coordination.
If I get a manual / description I can learn most anything!

What else ...
I would love to see below the touristy surface and really get to know different cultures and languages. Intercultural understanding is essential nowadays!

While the work here is somewhat different to what I initially imagined and had understood, I still enjoyed (to say the least) my 9 weeks in Pamplona. Because I stayed for two months I even had the chance to start a reading programme at two community foundations for children (teaching reading is my old metier). I…… read more
I had the privilege to stay at the monastery for the entire month of August, and it was an absolute pleasure.
I literally felt like a guest at a 5 star hotel; amazing food, welcoming venerables/local volunteers, and minimal work.
We usually work four times a week, though this work is minimal and usually just… read more

We hope she'll be back one day :)
Although I only stayed with Vincent, Catherine, and all the others for 2.5 weeks, I enjoyed every single day surrounded by lovely company and inspirational teachings.
The work I did was mostly covering the reception, cleaning, handing out leaflets in shops, running errands, helping out in the shop/cafe, and other ad hoc… read more
I don't know how else I would begin this review.
My stay in Madaba had everything I could ever wish for - six weeks of laughter, books, music, joy and tears. I felt welcomed from the very first second (my personal theory is that this place has a magnet which attracts only the nicest and most warmhearted people). It truly is a family, and… read more

I stayed with Vero, Gorka, Laia and Ariane for four weeks and helped out with their English, taught them a few words in German and helped out in general in the house.
The Basque country is amazing, beautiful and welcoming. And Vero/Gorka would be happy to drive you to the bus stop / train station if you'd want to explore.… read more
Work was light and fun, cleaning, making beds, check in / check out, chilling with guests :)
