Hey everyone! My name is Annabell, I´m 23 years old and currently living in Germany. Right now I'm studying social work in the second semester. Before that I've worked as an educator for teenagers and children at a beautiful farmyard. As much, as I loved this place, I still want to gain more work, - and life experiences trough traveling around the world.
I really enjoy immersing myself in different cultures, connect with people on a deeper level and make a meaningful impact wherever I go. Whether it's volunteering on organic farms, assisting with community development projects, lending a hand to take care of children, or helping with eco-friendly initiatives. I'm an enthusiastic individual and always eager to help where needed!
I am overall a very active and creative person and I like to spend my leisure time with things which keep the body and mind in balance. For example, going to the gym daily, moving around trough hiking and dancing and testing my strength in bouldering. On the other hand, I equally pleasurable do the quiet things in life, such as reading, Meditation, Yin Yoga, playing instruments and painting. I love variety in my life and I´m always looking forward to learning new things, with which I can also inspire others.
Summed up I want to enrich different lives with my skills and support people in their visions and dreams.
Furthermore, I would like to practice my language skills and would be equally willing to help others improve their English and German!Interests

As I mentioned in my description, I´m currently working at a farmyard, which is a community for people with physical or psychological restrictions. All employees with and without the need for assistance work together on an equal footing. The core of this is biodynamic agriculture with our 3 ha. Garden and many animals. Every morning I work for one hour in the barn, feeding the animals and muck out. All trough the week I work at different areas, for example: Agriculture, our market garden, construction and renovation, housekeeping, Milling and bakery, Guest house and farm café, and in the creative area, where we do things like pottery, weaving, felting etc.
I also take care of children who are coming 2 times a week (age 8 – 11). Then we also help with the various tasks around the farm, and we have a little time for some school lessons. At the end of the week there is also a class coming, from a special school, for which we have a standard routine, consisting of a work-phase and a cook-phase, where we make dinner with the children over the fire.
Through my educator training I was also lucky to experience many different forms of Internship before my job now. In the first year of my training, I had my Internship in a Waldorf School, taking care of a 2. Grade class. In the second and third year I worked in a shared apartment with 8 teenagers in the age from 10 – 17 years. In further schoolyears I could also take care of old and sick people in a nursing home.
Furthermore I worked 3 months on the cruise ship: Mein Schiff Herz as an Excursion Expert, which was a very fun and formative experience and I could get my first experiences with guest service work.
Now in my private time I´ve learnt how to cook healthy, delicious, and nutritious meals every day. It all started, when I was 17 and went vegetarian and didn’t want to eat the things my family was cooking anymore. So, I got experimental and started this journey. Now I´m passionate about it and it is my favourite thing to try out recipes from different cultures. My Go-To meals are usually something out of the Asian or Mexican cuisine, but I´m open to anything else.
Summed up I am very thankful and grateful for all the experiences I´ve already had and for all the places where I could expand my skills. All in all, I want and can successfully help in terms of animal care, people care, gardening, household chores and cooking.Age
