Description

Hi there, I am Nele! After living for 5 years in Hamburg and working a 9-5 job, I am happy to get out there again, meet people and make new experiences for some months (before returning to my cozy home).
I am into sports like running, indoor cycling and canoeing, love reading, hanging out with friends, my boyfriend and cat and I like to bake and cook (vegetarian 🌱) as well. Recently I also started to learn playing the guitar. I did Work and Travel in Australia and New Zealand, studied linguistics and intercultural communication in Germany, Spain and the Netherlands and am looking forward to reactivating my travel-self for a longer period of time again :) I already spent 3 months this year in Spain on an Alpaca Farm and loved it. A cat sitting is coming up in June in the Pyrenees!
The past years I used the time I had with a full time job to travel to Mexico, Albania, Portugal and more - and last year also bought a van to explore more corners of Europe.
Ideally, I'd like to spend time in a place I can deepen my Spanish skills, but I am also always happy to speak English or German.

More details about your skills

My skills include languages (German, English, Spanish), intercultural competence, organizational and structural skills and more.
I worked as a project manager in a digital agency for 5 years so can deal with all kinds of Microsoft tools, planning things, portioning tasks in neat blocks to be dealt with easier etc.
I also had jobs like fruit picking, selling strawberries, working on an ice rink, as a hostess on fairs, in a bar, I did internships in event management and more. Also, I joined the program "willing workers on organic farms" in Australia and worked in Darwin for over a months, digging holes for trees, getting rid of useless weeds etc. - although I have to be honest, I still really hate spiders and get easily freaked out by them! My first Workaway on an Alpaca farm also taught me more about animals and farming in general.

What else ...

I should add - I am a teeeeny bit scared of big dogs as I had two bad experiences unfortunately. But really depends how their attitude is - a family dog like a Golden Retriever which has a playful, calm and friendly attitude would be no problem.

I absolutely love cats 🐈‍⬛
And I am happy to bake my signature vegan chocolate banana cake. Or cook Lasagna, Pasta, Tacos and more 🌮
