  • Description

    I am 36 years old and live in my self-built Camper Van.
    I've got a Bachelor of Arts and worked 7 years with streetkids in Germany.
    I rarely pass into a box and surprise people with my experience, skills and attitudes. I am open to people, curious and believe in the good in everyone. I am honest, authentic and in need of harmony. Solution-oriented instead of problem-oriented.
    I started my journey to see more of the beautiful nature and other cultures. In particular, I am interested in interpersonal interactions in other countries.

    I started to travel in October 2024. To be on the road is a big adventure and i see a lot. From time to time I hope to stay at workaway places to calm down a little and meet interesting people.

  • More details about your skills

    I have a bachelor’s degree in social pedagogy and am quite handy with a hammer, sander, drill and jigsaw. I’ve helped with lots of house moves, assembled and repaired furniture, fitted siphons, masked off and painted, helped renovate a half-timbered house and done a few other jobs as well.
    Basically, I’m a quick learner and enjoy picking up new skills (The last workaway Host mentioned that "Allrounder" is quite fitting in my case 😅 ).
    Every now and then I optimise processes and can organise workflows effectively. However, my perfectionism can sometimes slow me down. A quick reminder is usually enough. But I’ll ask anyway now how precise something needs to be before I start.

    Artistically, I’ve been passionately involved in string art, friendship bracelets, macramé, dreamcatchers and other crafts for quite some time, and I really enjoy crafting in general.
    I alter clothes, create new items and knit scarves and hats.

    My skills around animals:
    I have now trained my second dog with a difficult past to become a confident, well-behaved dog . I also have experience in ground work with problematic horses and of my seven years’ experience with horses, I’ve spent four living at the stable.
    In total I have a keen understanding of animals and their needs and desires. I am particularly good at reading dogs, cats and horses, which makes working with them much easier. I’m also very good with all other animals, though my knowledge isn’t the same for all of them; if necessary, I’d ask for guidance and would love to learn more.

    I like plants, but unfortunately I don’t have much experience with them yet – though I’m always keen to learn more!

    I can Help you in the kitchen, but not really good in cooking 😅

  • Age

    36

  • What else ...

    I have a bad back. Hospital tried to fix but operate at the wrong place... so i cant wear more than 20kg. But there are always solutions (like wheelbarrows or more footwork).

    My little, obedient, nothing-hunting, tiny Pomeranian Dachshund mix is always with me. He loves cuddles, gets on well with children, and is friendly with chickens, cats and all other animals. A thoroughly well-behaved little chap.
