Description
Hey everyone,
I am Inga, currently on the road for undefined time. I am an easy-going, open minded and curious human who likes to enjoy the little things in life as well as the big ones. I love exploring the world around me. There is so much to see, learn and experience that I became kind of addicted to it.
I prefer waking up at sunrise in a tent on a mountain, rather than staying in fancy hotels. I prefer getting to know a country deeply, rather than rushing through the world and tick off sightseeing highlights. I prefer to collect moments and experiences, rather than money & material stuff.
I am the happiest version of myself when l am able to grab my backpack and go wherever i feel like, do whatever feels right, without plans and time limit. This is pure luxury to me. I am well aware that this is a privilege and I am very thankful to have this opportunity.
I'm excited to meet new people, hear their stories, share food & coffee, learn about their culture and embrace the experiences as they unfold day to day.
In my „normal“ life I am an art director in design & communication, but I have to escape the routine every once in a while. So I established a lifestyle where I am working two ot three years, followed by a couple of years of traveling, learning and doing completely different things. This is where my inspiration and strength comes from.

More details about your skills
I like to say: I am an expert in nothing but pretty good in a variety of different things :-) there are simply to many things in life, to focus on just one topic.
I love to cook. It's kind of a passion. I am not a professional cook but people have told me that I am not bad in it ;-)
please note: I am vegetarian/vegan and won't prepare any meat or fish.
Beeing an art director in design & communication I consider myself a creative person. I am able to design Logos, websites, brochures, presentations, posters e.g. However, I am traveling without my computer and the programs I need for that kind of work and can only do basic stuff in canvas on my phone at the moment. If you are looking for someone to pimp your instagram I might be a help...
I am good in organizing and tacking things in general. I consider myself a creative hands-on-Person when it comes to building, gardening or housekeeping. I can adapt quickly to new tasks and I am a master of improvisation. Also I do enjoy physical work.
Even though I am new on workaway I have lots of experiences in volunteering and working in different fields.
I “run” a camping/hostel in the Mauretanien desert, I entertained kids in a daycare “kids club” of a 7-day festival in Slowenia, I housesitted a mansion including cats, dog and horses in austria, I run an ice cream shop in Australia, was a barista & waitress in a cafe, wrapped presents in a department store at Christmas and worked with an NGO supporting people on the move in a community center.
In my hometown Düsseldorf I was part of a charity dinner project where we have been cooking for 50-80 persons twice a month. And I have been an embassador of our local foodsharing community.

What else ...
I am really interested in "alternative" ways of living:
Living self sufficient & sustainable in communitys/community based projects. I am a very independent person, but I like to work and live in a team with like minded people.
I am very interested in learning about farming, especially sustainable ways of farming like permaculture.
I enjoy being outdoors with nature around me.
Not long ago I started to practice yoga and I would like to improve my skills and learn more about the philosophy around that.

As I stayed during the Chinese New Year celebrations I experienced both: the quiet routine in the monastery as well as the busy and exiting festivities full of events, activities and action. So interesting!
The work tasks varied from helping in the food… read more
