Description

Hello everyone!
My name is Evelina, I am 18 years old and from Germany.
I am interested in travelling to different countries to meet new, inspiring people, learn more about the world and life itself and expand my personal horizon. I am especially interested in learning more about sustainable living & agriculture and a life in connectedness with nature.
General topics I am interested in are sustainability, politics, spirituality and literature. In my freetime, I like to spend time on hikes in nature, crochet and read good books (preferably feminist, historical or philosophical literature and non-fiction). Furthermore I am politically active in different local groups, now and then write/publish my own poetry and I give cooking classes for adults on vegan/vegetarian cooking & against food waste.
I have some experience in gardening through previous workaway stays at farms and love expanding and sharing knowledge on permaculture, organic agriculture and working with nature in general.
I also have lots of experience in working together with children (age 3 upwards), teaching them or taking care of them and enjoy learning from them a lot.
I love meeting new people from all around the world, because it makes me extremely happy to exchange knowledge and experience - in my opinion this is the best way of learning and growing.
Therefore I am happy and grateful to help and learn as much as I can during my time at your home!

More details about your skills

Working experience as a volunteer:
Last summer I have worked as a volunteer at the Atlantic Whale and Dolphin Foundation on Tenerife and gained lots of experience on volunteering. The main tasks there were the photo identification and behaviour analysis of whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, while also educating tourists and locals on animal & wildlife conversation and the protection of the oceans.
Besides that, I have also learned many housekeeping skills in my time there.

Working experience with children:
I have worked together with children (aged 3 upwards) or taken care of them since I was 12 and therefore have lots of experience. For example I have been working as a babysitter for some time, but also gave extra tuition to children aged 6 to 12 and have worked at our local museum in exhibitions for children. When working with children, I pay special attention to their needs and never lose my patience.

Working experience with animals:
I have got a dog, a cat and many fishes and therefore know how to take care ouf these animals. Throughout my whole life I have also been in close contact to nature and animals in general and therefore attach great importance to the preservation of ecosystems and animal rights.
Unfortunately, I have quite a few allergies against animal hair (horses) and hay and straw and therefore am a bit restricted in working on typical farms.

Working experience in agriculture and nature:
I have quite some experience with gardening work at home and know the basics. I hope to learn more specific knowledge.
