Description

Life began transforming after I stepped out of my home country in the mid-2020s. Fascinated by people, I discovered platforms like Workaway, enabling me to connect with like-minded individuals globally, making travel more affordable and enriching. My professional background spans various sectors, particularly Media, due to my PhD and diverse work experiences.

Quitting the rat race, I turned to content creation, focusing on travel and storytelling, gaining sustainable income and a large following. I've lived in Asia and Europe, recently completing an MBA in Germany.

Workaway offers opportunities to learn basic life skills. I've tried masonry and carpentry in Louisiana, worked with horses in Arizona, promoted eco-tourism in the Balkans, and taught kids in Central Asia. I've also supported family-run hostels and non-profits with general maintenance.

I value humility, simplicity, and deep cultural exploration through slow travel. This approach bridges cultural gaps and fosters understanding in our increasingly polarized world.

I am working on creating an online community for travellers, with the goal of achieving financial sustainability for both myself and the participants. Currently, I have thousands of people on an online platform, but it lacks many features that I envision for my community's participants and stakeholders. I seek to learn how to develop a platform and make relevant value additions to the process.

UPDATE - (JAN 2025) - OPPORTUNITIES IN AND AROUND BERLIN
As I am in the early stages of building the foundation for my startup focused on the above-mentioned travel community, I am currently dedicating much of my time to research, planning, and attending numerous online webinars. While I enjoy the peace and productivity of the countryside, I have found that networking opportunities are more abundant in Berlin, the startup capital of Europe. For this reason, I am now looking for a Workaway opportunity either in Berlin or as close as possible to the city.

I am seeking a situation where the required working hours are minimal, allowing me to focus on my core work without compromising my duties to the host. I believe that a balance can be struck where I contribute meaningfully while also being able to grow my project. If everything works well between the host and me, I am available for a long-term stay, even for a couple of months.

Please rest assured that I have all the necessary permissions and insurance to stay and work legally, so there’s no need to be concerned about my legitimacy.

More details about your skills

I possess a diverse skill set, including teaching, social media management, interacting with people, video editing, content creation, promoting eco-tourism, and practical tasks such as gardening, basic carpentry, masonry, and animal care, especially with regard to horses. I have also effectively managed hospitality businesses and made them highly profitable on platforms like Airbnb, as I am well-versed in their operations. In addition to my business administration background, I have experience in customer service within hospitality settings and cross-cultural communication, which further complements my abilities. These skills have been honed through various professional roles and hands-on volunteering experiences in multiple countries.

What else ...

In addition to my diverse skill set and professional experiences, I am passionate about sustainability and eco-friendly practices. My love for nature and mountains has led me to recently purchase a property in the Himalayas, which I plan to develop into a creative retreat. I believe in slow travel and immersing myself in local cultures, which has enriched my understanding of the world. My journey has been about connecting with people, learning new skills, and contributing positively to the communities I visit.

I am also a dedicated YouTube content creator, sharing my travel experiences to inform others about the diverse communities around the world. My goal is to promote positivity by highlighting the positive aspects of different cultures, helping to bridge cultural gaps and foster understanding.

Furthermore, I am keen to learn about sustainable architecture and construction practices that focus on repurposed and upcycled materials. This interest aligns with my commitment to sustainability and innovation in my creative retreat project.
