Description
Hi everyone!

I'm Synia :)
I'm a physiotherapist, structural body worker, somatic yoga instructor, food and nature-lover, language-nerd, runner, passionate auntie and much more, 28 years old from Germany.

What I love about workawaying is that you're able to help people, share and learn new things and experience the local culture, the everyday life.

Other from that I like surfing, swimming, laughing,
snowboarding, reading and writing, gymnastics, climbing, hiking, camping,
hanging out, dancing (Latin/Salsa!), cooking/baking, and trying any new activity
playing guitar/piano/singing...

Then I'd say that I am very open and outgoing, I enjoy working with people and being adventurous and energetic.

As we know it's not where you are, it's who you're with ;)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Synia and her partner Jesse were delightful to have with us as workawayers. They were hard-working, competent, easy-going, fun and sweet. We can't recommend Synia and Jesse enough. You're gonna want to keep them as part of the family, like we did.

I really enjoyed my stay in Quito helping out with conversation classes at the language school. All the staff was so friendly and welcoming and it was a delight to get to know and have interesting conversations with the students.

It was so interesting to spend time with Rommel in Macashca. The location is unique and it was amazing to get to know the village, the forest and the mountains. We were able to do may day trips around the mountains of Huaraz. Rommel had a lot of work in the city and trusted us to take care of the dogs and the house, so we had a lot of time and… read more

Las semanas en Chinchero eran estupendas. Mila y Rolando son tan amables y generosos y tienen sentido del humor! Estaba super interesante ver y aprender sobre el trabajo traditional y conocer a la familia, al pueblo y a los alrededores. Me encantó quedarme en su casa! Muchísimas gracias por todo!!

She helped me happily with all the tasks such as painting iron balconies, currying heavy stuff, doing general, thorough cleaning, etc. It was great to have her here and we hope to see you again!
