Description
Hello everyone!
My name is Elena and I am 23 years old student from Germany.
I am currently living in Germany, but already lived half a year in Canada, a few month in New Zealand and Sweden, studied the past semester in Portugal and travelled through Europe by train- meaning I love to explore the world and get to know new people!
Now that I am back home,my wanderlust is also back and I plan to solo travel to Mexico, starting october 2023.
I'm a psychology student and will be getting my degree this fall. Next to my studies I am interested in nature and animals, good books, good conversations and sports. I love to spend time outside, preferrably with nice, openminded people.
My past workaway experiences have been amazing! I could contribute to animal, children and househould care while learning so many new things about life on a farm. I hope to make similar experiences during my next stay!!
Sooo if you are an openminded family living surrounded by nature and animals, looking for an easygoing person, who doesn't fear hard work, we might be a perfect match :-)
Happy to hear from you!Interests

LanguagesMore details about your skills
I have been riding and around horses for quite a while in my life, but had to stop a few years ago due to a lack of time. Nevertheless I know the work around them and the stables and would love being able to keep improving my skills!
At my past workaways I also learned being around other farm animals and really enjoyed the work.
I was also able to gather further knowledge about gardening and self sufficiency and would love to increase it.
My parents really like to cook and passed that on to me, so I'd consider my meals definitely eatable:)
In the past years I used to work as a waitress, babysitter, on a strawberry farm, in an office and as a night guard... so I'm sure whatever task you have in mind for me, I'll figure it out!!Age
