Description

My name is Linda and I am from Austria, Salzburg.
I obviously like to travel, but recently I've decided that instead of only visiting tourist destinations, I would like to go deeper into the culture and lifestyles of the people of the places I see. I also would like to give something back, by offering some of my skills and energy. That's how I got into workaway.

My friends would describe me as an energetic extrovert, even though I alone know that I also enjoy calmness and down time. I do lots of sport, mostly bouldering, climbing and hiking in summer and skiing, snowboarding or ice skating in winter. Lately I started fencing and I also do team sports like playing Volleyball. Other than that I also like relaxing, painting and drawing, crafting or repairing stuff.

More details about my language interests
My native language is German and I feel comfortable to teach it on a A1-A2 level. I have no academic education in the German language, which is why I wouldn't want to teach at a higher level. I speak/write English at a B2-C1 level and might be able to teach it as well at a A1-A2 level, but not further for the same reasons. I would love to become more fluent in Italian and in general I like to learn other languages too.

More details about your skills

Regarding my education, I have a bachelor and master degree in (product)design and product management and I will (hopefully) finish another master degree in June 26 in wood technology, where I focused mostly on fiber plants. I know and can apply the adobe suite classics like photoshop, indesign, illustraitor and premiere pro as well as CAD programs, like Solidworks. I work at the university of applied sciences of Salzburg as a junior researcher and I hold lectures in our bachelor and master program.

I have an education as a trainer for lead climbing, bouldering and skiing.
I do a lot of simple crafting in my free time meaning I can use a drill and screws as well as paint and spray simple surfaces. I love gardening in my own garden and I like to do physical work, especially after a long period of computer work.
