Description

Hi! I’m Tabea, 25 years old from Germany, and passionate about travel, nature, and working with people and animals. I studied Business Administration with a focus on Tourism and Hospitality in a dual program, which gave me both academic knowledge and hands-on experience in guest services and sustainable tourism.

Over the past years, I’ve lived and worked in several countries, including Canada and Italy. I spent 8 months on a guest ranch and a cattle ranch in British Columbia, where I guided trail rides, completed a wrangler course, helped train young horses, and supported daily ranch routines. I really enjoy outdoor work, being around animals, and contributing to a team. My tasks in the lodge included: preparing breakfast, setting the table, cleaning dishes and kitchen, housekeeping, cooking 3 courses dinners and welcoming guests.

I also worked in hospitality at Castello del Calcione (a beautiful castle) in Tuscany, where I welcomed guests, prepared breakfast, coordinated housekeeping, handled check-outs, organized activities, and managed bookings. I love creating a warm atmosphere and making people feel welcome.
I consider myself open-minded, adaptable, and hardworking. I’m quick to learn, always positive, and enjoy meeting people from all over the world. I’m happiest when I’m outdoors, learning new skills, and contributing to meaningful projects — whether it’s farm work, gardening, animal care, hospitality, or simple daily tasks.

My latest Workaways this year were: 3 weeks on a dairy farm in Ireland: milking, feeding over 300 calves twice a day, cleaning pens, general farm tasks and helping 4 weeks with rescued animals in Morocco.

Looking forward to connecting, helping out, and sharing good moments together! 😊

More details about your skills

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a focus on Tourism and Hospitality in Germany. It was a dual study program, which meant alternating between three months of university and three months of practical work at my partner company. Since graduating, I have continued to build international experience in tourism, hospitality, ranch life and working with animals.

I have worked in different roles across several countries, including as a Hospitality Manager at a historic estate in Italy, where I was responsible for welcoming international guests, coordinating daily operations, managing reservations and ensuring a high-quality guest experience. I have also worked for a sustainable tour operator in Germany in areas such as product development, sales, marketing and guest communication.

My passion for outdoor tourism has also taken me to Canada, where I worked on guest ranches and cattle farms. I gained hands-on experience with horses, worked with young horses, rode Western, and led trail rides for guests. I particularly enjoy combining working with animals and being outdoors with meeting and helping people from all over the world. Working as a trail guide taught me to be responsible for guests, communicate clearly, adapt to different situations and make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe.

I have always been a very hands-on person and enjoy helping wherever I am needed. Growing up, I was involved in taking care of animals and also helped my family with work around the house and garden, so I am used to practical tasks, getting my hands dirty and figuring things out myself.

I am curious, flexible, open-minded and enthusiastic about new challenges. I enjoy taking responsibility, learning new skills and becoming part of a team. I am adaptable, reliable and communicate easily with people from different backgrounds. I speak German and English fluently, have a good knowledge of Italian and some French and Farsi.

Above all, I love being outdoors, working with animals and creating meaningful experiences for people. I am always happy to learn something new and contribute wherever I can.

What else ...

Otherwise, I would describe myself as a funny and joyful girl who will probably laugh at her own jokes :D I value the little things in life and believe a positive attitude can make a big difference. I’m not afraid of hard work, getting my hands dirty or taking on new challenges, and I’m always happy to learn something new.
If you are looking for someone who can do her job accurately and independently but still try to have fun at the same time, I am the perfect fit for you :)
