Description
Hi,
I've used workaday a few times in the past and always had great experiences with it! I worked in a hostel, renovated many houses (mainly painting and sanding and resealing the floors as well as carpentry-help) and helped with miscellaneous jobs. Met many great people and some friends along the way and after a few years of traveling without it I'm looking forward to new experiences! :-)
At home I study and work in a Kindergarden with 3-6 year olds, used to work in the social services with teenagers. On the weekends I work in an Irish pub which is great fun too! We also have a weekly pub-quiz which I enjoy there!
I have quite handy experiences working at the Mercedes factory in-line and driving a forklift and also enjoy diy projects at home and friend's houses and gardens!
I love learning languages, cooking and baking, reading, doing puzzles, crosswords, writing postcards, swimming, I cycle EVERYWHERE in my home town (but also have a car and forklift driving license), am interested in sustainability and many (!) more things.
Once a week I visit the museum of natural history here in Bremen and used to be mostly interested in the animals and dioramas but recently also the craftsmanship behind a lot of the other artifacts, especially the gorgeous Polynesian wooden boats with intricate details!

Everyone: DO THIS WORKAWAY! Being part of this place is truly the best thing that can happen to you on Workaway! <3
