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
