Hello,
my name is Christian, I am 36 years old and from Germany.
From 2015 till 2018 I traveled for three years on and off and two years without returning to Germany.
After two years back I decided to travel again in 2020.
In 2021 I traveled through Italy to learn Italian. I stayed in Italia almost always with Workaway.
Then I went to south/middle America and Spain to learn Spanish.
I am fluent in English and German. My Italian is about A2 level and Spanish A1.
I like to cook. I follow a vegetarian almost vegan diet and don`t drink alcohol.
I like animals and having them around me.
Animals are important to me as I stayed at a dog shelter in Sicily for 6 weeks. An experience I won`t forget for a while.
My experiences with Workaway were mostly helping in the garden or gardening in generell and teaching languages German and English.
