Description

Hi, I’m Vanessa! 😊

I’m a calm traveler who loves spending time in nature and enjoying simple, mindful moments. This journey is my way to explore new places, meet interesting people, and reconnect with myself. I’m curious about experiences that inspire personal growth and bring joy.

Through Workaway, I hope to learn new skills and explore different ways of living. I’m especially interested in projects connected to nature, gardening, animals, or creative work. I also would love to improve my English (and Spanish) along the way.

I’m currently looking to stay at a place for one to two weeks and appreciate hosts who value respectful communication, clear agreements, and a little space for personal retreat. I’m a non-smoker, vegetarian, and enjoy living in harmony with my surroundings.

I look forward to meaningful experiences, wonderful people, and breathtaking adventures along the way.

More details about your skills

I enjoy helping in a reliable and mindful way and I am happy to support where needed.

🌱 Gardening & Nature
At home we have a natural garden where I helped plant vegetables, harvest fruits and herbs. I feel connected to nature and have some basic insight into permaculture and food forest ideas.

🐾 Animal Care
I grew up with many animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, chickens) and feel comfortable with animal care (feeding, cleaning, walking, spending time).
I also had regular contact with horses, including groundwork and some training. I am especially interested in a natural, horse-friendly approach and respectful handling.

🥘 Cooking
I enjoy cooking healthy vegetarian and vegan meals and like trying new recipes when there is time and space. I also have basic knowledge of medicinal herbs and enjoy using them for tea, cooking or simple herbal preparations.

👶 Childcare
My experience mainly comes from friends and family. I have a calm, warm and patient presence, and children usually feel comfortable around me. I could imagine spending time with children through playing, painting, doing simple crafts, or helping them with homework or homeschooling.

🧘 Mindfulness & Presence
I have completed several 10-day Vipassana meditation courses and a course as a mindfulness and relaxation trainer. This supports my calm, attentive and grounded way of working and living with others.

✨ Creative & Other Skills

- simple crafts (crocheting, candle making, like to try new DIY projects)
- interested in learning soap making and natural creations
- basic photo/video editing & simple design / website builders
- language skills: native German, English B2, currently learning Spanish
(happy to help with German practice)

In general, I am curious, open to learning and appreciate clear communication and a respectful, harmonious living together.

What else ...

I’m travelling without a car, so it’s helpful for me if there is public transport within walking distance or the possibility to occasionally join a ride.

If I could wish for something...
I would love to spend time at places with horses and reconnecting with western riding and horsemanship.
