Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am a friendly and open-minded person. I am rather calm and I love cooking, hiking, acroyoga, climbing, board games... I am easy-going and I don’t mind doing almost any kind of work. After I graduated from school, I did my community service (1 year) in a living and working community for disabled people, instead of joining the army. Afterwards, I started my apprenticeship to become a plumber, heating mechanic, gas fitter, and drainlayer. (In Germany, all these professions are unified.) Currently, I am back in Germany, working in my profession. But soon I will go to Canada on a Working Holiday scheme. During my travels in Colombia, Peru, and many countries in Asia, including Hawaii and New Zealand, I worked in different jobs. I learned a lot about different cultures and about myself. I also had the chances to learn about "new" religions and beliefs. I am a Christian but very interested in spirituality of any kind and environmental issues, since we cannot live without a healthy environment. The earth doesn’t need us. In the end, it doesn’t care. It’s us needing a human-friendly earth/environment. So all this is maybe more about self-preservation?

More details about your skills

I am a fully trained plumber, heating mechanic, gas fitter, and drainlayer, with work experience in Germany, Hawaii, and New Zealand.
I was a volunteer in a Camphill Community in Ireland, looking after people with special needs. Afterwards, I worked in a similar community for 6 months back in Germany.
During my volunteering year and afterwards, I learned how to care for children and grown-ups, how to handle children with challenging behaviors, and more.
I have some skills and experience in repairing bikes, gardening, and farming.
I am able to do any work needed in a household (cooking, baking, cleaning, washing, sewing, etc.).
In Korea, I volunteered in a hostel for 3 months, and I replaced the hostel manager while she was on a 2-week holiday. In Lima (Peru), I also worked in a hostel for 2 months. So, I am familiar with any kind of work that needs to be done and taken care of in a hostel.
