My next destination:
Canada - from Jul 2024 until Jun 2025 View all
Description
"based" in BC.
I'm a 31 year old solo traveler from Austria (Vienna) and grew up in the countryside. My family has a farm and used to have cows, chickens, pigs and dogs. Now we are a cropping farm and operate forestry.
I love being outdoors. Especially hiking in the mountains helps me to recharge my batteries and clear my head.
Funny fact: my job was absolutely the opposite. I worked as an IT Business Analyst. Working with cross-functional teams and solving problems was a pleasure. After 11 years it was time to leave my comfort zone in order to fulfil my personal wish: to travel for a longer period of time and ideally to work abroad (again - 3 month internship in France.). By working and integrating in the chosen country you get a better feeling for the people and their culture. Curiosity and the willingness to learn new things make life exciting and fulfilling.
I appreciate teamwork (a give and take based on trust), humour, sincerity and to create pleasant environment for everybody.

What else ...
I am a quick learner and great listener. I pour 100% into everything I do no matter how mundane the task, I always give it my all. I have many interests and can quickly become enthusiastic about new things. That's why my experience and skills are so different because I love
I am an open-minded and hard-working human being with a can-do-it spirit. In my opinion, there is a solution to almost every problem.
My intention is to gain new skills while deepening my connection with the land and meeting new people.
I find it very valuable to do things that challenge me so that I can develop and grow. However, it's not a failure if things don't work out and your plans are more of a pain than a pleasure. It's important to test your own limits and it's part of the process. But if you don't try, you'll never know.
In my oppinion life is about the simple pleasures and slowing down. The world has become so loud and fast-paced that it's easy to lose sight of the essentials.
That's why my greatest hobby is hiking in the mountains. It requires physical and mental exertion, but at the same time it is pure relaxation. And in the end you can enjoy an incredible view :)
I also like playing any kind of games (even SingStar on PlayStation). It's always fun to spend some time with beloved people.
