Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I am a Nigerian living in Germany. For the next coming months (or year), I will be on the road exploring all of Europe. I am in for new experiences, adventure and nature based activities.

Description

If there is one thing that truly defines me, it is my deep love for people, stories, and shared experiences. I am also deeply passionate about youth work and education, and I previously worked as an Educator at a kindergarten in Arnach, southern Germany. It was a truly special and heartwarming experience of supporting and working with such an adorable group of kids.

Music was one - and maybe still one- of my greatest loves (currently trying to find new hobbies). But I play the piano, guitar etc and have been part of a community music project in Spain where we performed in local cafés, town festivals, nursing homes, and small gatherings, spreading hope and joy with our music.. Many of my happiest moments involve making or playing music with other people... or doing sports: mountain biking, skating, acrobatics, ping pong, basketball, decathlon.

I am naturally playful, warm, vibrant and full of jolly energy, may be sometimes too much energy. I have been told my superpower is spreading happiness and making people come alive😊. At the same time, I can be sometimes introverted. So, you never know what's coming. hahaha.

Lately, I have been hearing the quiet voice of nature calling me. She has always been calling actually, but now I hear it stronger than ever. I am ready to step away from the fast-paced rhythm of city life and reconnect with nature, community living, and slower, more intentional ways of life. I want to learn from nature, contribute to it, become one with it... and grow alongside people who value sustainability, gardening, animal care, creativity, and shared living.

side note: I am working on a project idea and dearly in search of a co- founder (Software developer). If that resonates to you, please, reach out and let's do something great together.

More details about my language interests
I recently started learning Spanish and Korean and it's been fun. I speak and understand German fluently (but can't "think" in German, meaning a language partner to practice with would be very nice). Yoruba and English are my native languages and I can hence converse, think and teach both of these languages.

More details about your skills

I have developed a strong blend of creative, social, and organizational skills through my work experience, volunteering, and community initiatives.

• Youth & Educational Skills – I primarily work as an online tutor supporting children and teenagers specifically in Math, English, Music and Fun
• Digital & Media Skills – Before pivoting to Education, I used to work in my early 20s as a social media manager...primarily retail marketing, content creation, photo and video editing, project documentation and the rest of the baggage that comes with such a skill.
• Culinary Skills – I have worked as a Chef and really enjoy cooking, experimenting and trying out new recipes and cultural dishes from different countries. I see cooking as a way to bring people together and create warm community moments.
• Creative & Artistic Skills – like facilitating music sessions, arts and crafts, storytelling, theater improvisation, and movement-based creative activities.
• Handy & Nature-Based Skills – Sadly, I am a bit rusty in this area. I haven't done a lot of that in a long time, but slowly getting active again through workaway and would like to continuously learn and experience the grace of farming, gardening, sustainable and nature-friendly practices.
