Description
I work as a writer for children and adults. I like to get to know people by talking - that's why it's difficult for me to write about myself. I would describe myself as open-minded, low-maintenance person that is curious to find out more about life and its wonders, especially the ways of thinking and living of other people. I try to be as honest as possible. I like to experience things for the first time. I spend most of my free time meeting people or writing (in my note book or on my manuscripts).

More details about my language interests
Right now I would really like to improve my Spanish. I can offer German or English in exchange :) other than that, I am curious to learn about any language, the ones I started learning and all the ones I don't know anything about. As a writer I am very passionate about language and would love to exchange!

More details about your skills
So far my curiousity led to volunteering in a youth center and at my school for the last years, trying to give young people new social input and taking part in projects like building a playground for orphans in Romania. I was workawaying in Muscat, Oman, helping with a tourism business, and building a tree house and teaching English in remote areas of Sulawesi, Indonesia, as well as teaching English to kids and young teachers in Kampong Cham and Battambang, Cambodia. In Australia I volunteered at a pay-as-you-can restaurant called "Lentil As Anything", in New Zealand I helped an artist with his Street Arts and Photography project. In Mexico I h elped with building, children and the horses on a horse ranch. In Guatemala I gave holiday workshops for children. I also took part in several drama & theater groups. I consider myself to be good at teaching, I am a good team worker, but I can also take over a leading role. I can cook, I can clean, I'm good with kids and animals as I grew up with both. I know how to ride horses (and i love it). I worked in various bars and restaurants in service and kitchen. I am a good listener. I like to work with my brain as much as I like to use my hands.

What else ...
until my equipment gets stolen the next time, I have a camera, so I could help you with photography too.

I am looking for any kind of work, especially things I haven't done yet, new experiences and people that are willing to share their stories with me! also always looking for creative people doing or interested in any kind of arts, that might want to join my project for some time. extraordinarily happy it would make me to be able to ride horses again, because I really miss that. And I'd like to learn climbing!

Its been months that i left and so many of my dreams are still set at the ranch.
I cannot describe how beautiful my time there was. Not often I have encountered such an interesting family, where everybody is so different and still shares so much with the others. I have learned a lot from everybody. I felt so warmly and heartily included into… read more

I have taken long to write this, just because I simply don't know where to begin. This place really felt like home when I left after a month. I had absolutely beautiful 4 weeks, and I really want to thank Elvia, Mari, Manuel and of course Evelyn for an incredible experience and exchange. This is exactly what I want from volunteering - trying to… read more

My best friend was volunteering here, so I spent my first ten days in Cambodia visiting her. When I arrived, she seemed to be part of the family already, and I felt welcomed as her sister. It was the best-structured learning environment of a local NGO I encountered throughout my travels until now, and Sophal does amazing work, so do all the people… read more

I really enjoyed arriving here when I came as a "normal guest", being quite desperate for a place to arrive, feeling a little lost and disconnected those days. Sang was really welcoming and the jungle trek he recommended doing helped me a lot to clear my mind. I got along with the guides well, so I helped them a bit with their facebook pages etc,… read more

Thank you so much Alexa!

Such a lovely person to have around. She's very smart and helped to make our program, and was so helpful with the family.

We would happily have her here again!

I had beautiful 3 weeks here. . It is incredible what Kamnat is doing for his community, and definitely worth supporting. In my opinion anyway - really needs volunteers that can stay for a longer period of time to help building up a better learning environment, change teaching and studying habits and organize the volunteers better. As cool as it… read more

I am out of words. "You have a home here",edy will tell you before you come, like he told me. For me, that wasn't completely correct: I have several homes now, not just home but indonesian brothers, sisters, friends, a hide away in the jungle. As a person of words I came, with new language I leave, rediscovered the power of laughter and talking… read more

If you are interested in getting to know a real local, stay with Hassan! He is the perfect example of Omani hospitality spirit. He and his brothers heartily welcomed me at their home for my 10-day-stay, passionately sharing their knowledge about their culture and sharing their daily life with me. Hassan is a really busy guy that can need your help… read more
