Description

Hi there,

My name is Levken and I’m a 24 year old female traveller from Germany. On the 22nd of April 2023 I decided to leave home and travel the world indefinitely.
I consider myself an enthusiastic and outgoing, yet calm person who loves to learn about art, yoga, meditation, dancing and indigenous wisdom. Furthermore I enjoy language exchange, getting other perspectives through conversations and experiencing different cultures.
Since I’m still finding my place in this beautiful world I would also love to especially learn more about photography, acting and unblocking creativity in its many ways.

Here’s a little bit about myself:
When I was 19 years old I took a Gap Year and went to Australia for about five months, travelled through South East Asia and went back home after Covid hit.
After that I spent a few years starting different degrees at uni but decided what I really wanted to do is to explore the world and follow my intuition along the way, so this is what I have been doing for the past couple of years.
I’ve used workaway when I was in Cambodia, teaching English to children and in New Zealand helping a family garden, cook and take care of the house in a sustainable village. I’m so excited for what else is to come ! I have also done a month of volunteering in an Eco Yoga retreat in Catalonia, Spain which has been an amazing opportunity to learn more about myself and be inspired by the land and the people surrounding me. After that I volunteered at a Yoga Studio which was also in New Zealand and spent a month there. My most recent volunteering was at a hostel for over three months.

This year in late January I embarked on my journey to Canada and am roadtripping the Canadian Rockies right now. For the month of August I would love to find a workaway on Vancouver Island. Hopefully see you there!

I love working with animals as I grew up surrounded by a dog, cats and rabbits. If there’s a chance to work in a sanctuary or to learn about horses I would be more than happy to take it!
I also enjoy spending time with kids since I’m a certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher for children. When I was a teenager I gave dance lessons to kids and did gymnastics with toddlers. Last year I completed my second Yoga teacher Training which was 200 hours for Vinyasa and Hatha.
My work experiences are mostly in hospitality but I do have months of experience working on farms as well.
I‘m pretty straight forward whilst working and like to get things done in a structured yet loving way.
At my last volunteer experiences I helped in the kitchen, feeding the farm animals, take care of the land, set up spaces for guests, creative tasks and much more. I‘m super open to help with anything and I learn quickly and passionately.

Thank you for taking the time to read all of this and I’m looking forward to hear from you !

More details about your skills

I have some basic knowledge in Medicine and Psychology, as these were the uni courses I started. As my description about myself says I’ve been working in bars, cafés and catering since I was 16. I’m a certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher for kids and worked with them as a teenager. Back then I gave dance lessons to 5-6 year olds and did gymnastic with toddlers. I have some basic skills in handywork and fixing things that I picked up living in my last apartment and working in site management in an Eco Retreat. There I also fed the chicken, cared for the land and did some gardening, as well as housekeeping and helping out in the kitchen. If there’s any creative projects you need help with I’d be happy to help as I always enjoy an outlet for it. I’m super open to work in most fields and eager to learn!

What else ...

I love being active outside in nature and move my body in any way. Beaches are my happy place and you could leave me there for hours connecting with the ocean. Another part that I really enjoy in nature are flowers.
I love to read but struggle with finding the right books for me so I’m open to recommendations!
If you’re into jam sessions we’ll get along as I love to make music, sing and just flow together.
Last but not least it’s really important to me to stay in a place that feels safe and welcoming. I do love to connect with people and learn from them, especially if we’re on the same page about it.
