Description

Hello! My name is Paula and I am 18 years old.
In my free time I love to be active. I play badminton, enjoy running and swimming (even though I am not the best ;)) and love hiking or doing other outdoor activities such as climbing.
In June 2025 I graduated German high school and now I wanna go out and explore the world (or at least a part of it) before coming back to settle into everyday life.
In 2024, I worked in a vegan restaurant for three months before it had to let employees go due to low sales. After that I started working in an organic store which was running better, meaning I still am working there ;).

Besides that I do voluntary work at my badminton club. I teach kids and teenagers how to play and run the social media account with a friend. (in case you're interested Instagram: @vfl_1848_badminton )

I have always felt a strong desire to explore which is why I've also gone on a few solo trips since I was 14. Now that I am done with school I wanna take this opportunity to meet new people, experience different cultures and learn practically instead of theoretically.
I believe Workaway is the perfect way to do that. Not by staying in a hotel and doing regular tourist things but by living with real people and getting to know the everyday life of a place.

I don't really need much to be happy and am very easy-going. I promise :)

More details about my language interests
I love languages. And I love learning. Especially with other people. Languages being as fluid as they are are something I find really interesting. Different ways to express yourself to say different things even though you use the same words. Amazing, I believe.
