Description
Hello! Salut! Hallo! Buenas Días!
I'm a 58 year young single lady, born in Germany and living for over 3 decades in the Caribbean, mostly on the postcard island of Guadeloupe, that's one of the French Overseas Territories. Therefore I speak fluent French, German and English, as well as a bit of Spanish (I'm learning!). Inspite of my -oh so- restricted financial means, I managed to travel to many extraordinary places in my short life, mainly on islands, but as well continental Europe, the Maghreb, East Africa and the Indian Ocean. This globetrotting from a young age on brought an open mind and lots of tolerance towards different cultures and their peoples in my life. I was also involved in humanitarian actions in the Caribbean. Throughout my professional life I was mainly working in hospitality and tourism industry covering all domains from guestshouses, appartments to luxury resorts, mangement, marketing, training and all executive tasks (reception, housekeeping, restaurant). Nevertheless, I also experienced teaching and translating. Once could describe me as a nature lover and ecologist. As a vegan, I love and protect animals. I like sports in general, especially out doors like hiking, swimming, biking....
I'm a passionate art, culture and history lover, I go to museums and galleries. I'm interested in all spiritual aspects of life. I inspire to get to know the countries I'm in "under their surfaces" whilst sharing the every-day-live with their people.
Having been nearly 3 months in Morokko where I luckily had 3 fantastic volonteerings, I now arrived in the Canaries looking yet for another inspiring workaway.
I already know the Canaries a bit and I'm in hopes to find this special place where I could volunteer and/or work whilst leaving a lasting positive imprint. Looking forward meeting my nexts hosts soon..
