  • Description

    Hello there .... :-)

    My name is Günter. I live in the southwest of Germany. It's only a short way to France, the Black Forest or the Kaiserstuhl (wine-growing region). The nearest big city is Freiburg.

    I used to work as a real estate specialist at Deutsche Post / DHL. I have accepted my company's offer of early retirement. I now work part-time in a local property management company ..... but we have an agreement that I can take longer breaks... and I would like to use this time off to travel

    In the past ( long time ago :-) ) I used to travel the world as a backpacker very often and as far as possible. This time had a big impact on me.
    I would say that I am a cosmopolitan type. I have many interests and even at a somewhat older age I am very curious and willing to learn and try out new things.

    I have a good sense of humor and like to laugh. However, my friends mean is quite sarcastic.

    I am quite sporty and love the outdoors. I am a sports lover and love to watch sports. ... Preferably soccer, of course.

    My motovation for workaway ?
    to meet new people / to make new friends / to help / look at life
    have fun / very keen on non-office work
    ..... yes, I am motivated ;-)
