Description
Hi I’m Malena, 21 years old and from Germany. Since I was little my parents have been showing me and my sister the world by traveling as much as possible. That’s probably when I developed this curiosity for different cultures, way of life’s, morals and values, religions and traditions. Beaches or mountains, no matter which vegetation, Im super fascinated. I love living close to nature as it gives me so much calmness and it grounds me a lot. I like to live in a way that has the smallest possible impact on this planet as possible even though it is difficult often. I’m a vegan as well, but an uncomplicated one. I’m happy with whatever as long as it is plant-based. And if that's not possible whilst traveling, I'm okay with making some exceptions.
I started by Psychology Bachelor last year and want to use my summer break to work and volunteer.
I’m a really open minded and reliable person with a very positive outlook on life. I tend to see mostly the good in everyone and everything which makes it natural for me to be empathetic and cooperative. I do find myself being the listener often but I also like being silly and outgoing.
I have experience working in hospitality: barista in a cafe, kitchen hand in a 4-star hotel and many more little jobs here and there.
I'm passionate about animal care, conservation work, beach cleanups and just being in touch with nature's creation. I'm a super curious person and love learning new skills.
I started learning English in grade 2 and since then spend one year in Canada studying on a high school in British Columbia. I recently did a work and travel in New Zealand which helped strengthen my English again.
Can't wait to hear from you!!

More details about your skills
My English is on a pretty good level as I studied abroad for one year and travelled around New Zealand the last 7 months. I don’t have any experience teaching but I generally am good in working with people in all ages.
I worked in my church group as a team leader for children between 13 and 16 years old. We did game instructions, round of talks and making music together.
I worked in a cafe for nearly two years and in the kitchen of a hotel which taught me the basics of customer service, hygiene and barista skills. I love interacting with guest and prioritizing their happiness.
I’m a really active person, I love being outside in nature and giving something back to planet. I love animals and grew up around them as well.
I’m super open to learn any kind of new skills and am really adaptable!! Things on my list that I want to try are surfing, creating websites, teaching smaller kids and working in more hospitality related jobs.
I don't mind getting dirty and working outside in all weathers.
