Description
This profile got reactivated and updated in June 2024
Hey, my name is Lena, I‘m from Germany and I‘m 21 years old🇩🇪
In 2021 I did my first Workaway in France and helped to rebuilt the house of Roman and Fanny, a lovely couple who just had their first child.
Sadly their profile got inactive, so their feedback disappeared.
Since I graduated high school in 2022, I dreamed of travelling the world again with workaway. But I decided to do a voluntary service in Namibia over a german governmental program instead, so my account disappeared too. I worked voluntarily for one year as a P.E. Teacher in an elementary school and as a volleyball coach for teenagers in the south of the african continent.
After coming back I started to learn in a restaurant in order to become a professional cook. Sadly I had to quit four months in as my passion for sport and the physical load in the kitchen didn’t get well along. My legs got injured and had to recover a while. They are much better now, but sometimes still paining.
Even though that was not an easy pill for me to swallow, I don’t want to miss out on life and its experiences. In October I will start with university and wanted to use the time left to see Europe.
I still love to cook and have a passion for food.
I still love to share my motivation for sports, especially volleyball.
I‘m experienced to deal with kids (ages 5 and above), most definitely after dealing in Namibia with up to fourty kids in one class!
I’m good with languages (German, English, French and some Italian) and have experience teaching them, since I was a tutor in school.
But most importantly:
I would be so honoured if you would include me into your daily life, share your knowledge with me and teach me new skills. In my opinion, our knowledge is the most precious gift we can share with others and the best way to change the world to the better.
Things I would bring to the table are curiosity, an open-mindset, creativity and my helping hand. I would not shy away from physical activity, since I myself am a pretty active person.
It is my childhood dream to travel the world, but not as a tourist spending amounts of money, but as someone connected to the locals experiencing the real life in a foreign place.
I‘m looking forward to get in touch :D
