Hello everyone!
I'm Karo (22) from Germany. I've been traveling around the world for the past 3 years now and what more can I say than: it was the best decision of my life! Currently I'm going to university in Berlin, studying culture studies and art. When my semester ends in march though, I'm looking to go on a new adventure. Since trying to achieve a more environmentally lifestyle at the moment, I got really into permaculture and sustainable eco-projects. It would be great to learn more about alternative ways of living in harmony with nature and contribute something to a greener world.
When I was younger I grew up on the countryside in a loving and green-minded family. They teached me values like individuality, tolerance and compassion. My parents being biological farmers themselves, I always believed in a more thoughtful way of using our planet. Through them I learned a few things about gardening and animal care, but I also do know that the most important is to not be afraid of getting my hands dirty. In generell I like to learn new things and face the world with a good amount of curiosity and interest. Furthermore I'm a creative person. Dealing with art, photography, books, music or movies is always a pleasure to me.
Being a passionate traveller for 3 years now, I know how extremely rewarding it is. Some of my most favorite experiences in this time was walking the 800km Camino in Spain, climbing the mount Fansipan in Vietnam and spending a day in an elephant sanctuary retreat in Thailand. For me it's all about making new experiences, about freedom and friendship and having a family away from home. What can be more rewarding than this?

As I already said growing up on the countryside, I'm familiar with gardening and farming. I face animals of all kind with a healthy mix of love and respect. Making my hands dirty is a thing I'm rather looking forward to than balk. While former workaways I've gained quite a lot of different skills including housekeeping, cleaning, plastering, painting, waitressing or bartending. Oh and I really enjoy cooking(vegetarian). Of course it's also possible to teach you some german ;)
In general I would say I am a pretty adaptable, wholehearted worker who is willing to learn to skills.
