Description

Hi there:)
My name is Johannes, people also call me Josie regularly, and I am excited to try something new. I have already seen many different parts of the world, which I am extremely grateful for. It taught me so many things about culture and people and I won't take that experience for granted. But I never travelled somewhere on my own, I've alway been accompanied by my family or friends. And that's exactly why I chose workaway for my first solo-travel experience.

But first I want to tell you more about myself: I am 18 years old and currently doing my 9 months of civil service at a social organisation for people with special needs. Last year I graduated at a local grammar school in Stockerau, Austria. My pasttime activities mostly are connected to sports with my main discipline being football and I frequently work as a waiter at a local wine tavern. Every year in the summer I volunteer as a counsellor at a youth camp I attended many times when I was a kid.
I still live in our family household (which includes me, my older sister and our parents) in a tiny rural village.

I think my friends would describe me at a very caring person, who always wants everyone to feel comfortble. Additionally I am a very patient person, but whenever I set my mind on something I work hard to reach my goal. One of my main principles I live by is to never lose my humour even in tough times.

More details about my language interests
I would be able to teach german and if required I think I could give english lessons too. Of course, while travelling I want to imrove my english or spanish speaking skills, but due to the shortness of my stay I don't need to learn a completely new language.

More details about your skills

Generally I can help wherever help is needed. I am a quick learner and excited to try something which gets me out of my comfort zone. As you can see in my profile description I volunteered at several youth camps so I have experience in child care. During my school time I gave private lessons helping others to learn math or other subjects. I love working with other people, but I am also not afraid of getting my hands dirty and doing household or gardening work.

What else ...

The summer of 2025 will be my last one before university, so the perfect opportunity to widen my horizon and try out something I have never done before. I am a quick learner and extremely motiviated to work in a new setting. If you have any further questions about my profile, feel free to ask!
