Description

Hello helloo,
I'm Elsa from Leipzig/Germany and me and my friend Therese are currently traveling around Morocco during our semester holidays!
We started our journey with the train from Germany through France and Spain and ended up taking the ferry to Tanger/Morocco!
We would love to get in touch with anyone looking out for some support (may it be gardening, construction work, cultural exchange, childcare…), to exchange and make new friendships and connections.
Hope to meet you soon in shaa allah! ;)

More details about your skills

I am a very talkative and open minded person so I'd claim that I've got very good communication skills and I can get along with almost everybody. When I was still in school, I took care once a week of a girl with a mental disability, that had an own flat, so I helped her with the household and we spent the afternoon together. I also worked with teenagers during my time in Taize and was the responsible who was instructing them. When I was in my town at home, I jobbed in a coffee shop a few times a week and I really loved to get in touch with guests and people through my work! All in all I approach people easily and love to learn new things but also share of my own knowledge.
Spending time in nature is also very enjoyable for me and I feel like I have quite a good knowledge about environmental issues. My family has a very big garden where I often helped and worked, so I guess I can share some of my gardening skills. :) In addition I love taking care of animals and study their different behaviour as I have always had pets and did horse riding classes for example.
In my free time I enjoy writing, doing yoga and athletics.

What else ...

In my free time I enjoy doing some yoga or athletics as I have joined an athletics club back home for several years. Sports make me always feel very good but I can not manage to motivate myself too often, so buddy workouts really help me to hang on. ;)

During my time in Taize, I learned a lot about my faith and the Christian traditions in general and I really liked to feel spiritually connected in some way again. But still I'm also very interested to learn about other religions and traditions as well and get inspired by peoples stories! In the university we are studying the faith of Islam and we are very interested to learn more about it!
