Description
Hello lovely people,
I'm lucky to use this summer to invest myself in new projects, experiences and encounters - and very grateful for the ones I've already made.
My interests lie mostly in the fields of arts, culture and community and have led me to an ever-evolving exploration of what it can look like to live in truthful connection -to myself, to others and to nature.
I'm so grateful for all my experiences with sustainable and alternative living that I've already had the chance to make, and deeply curious and eager to dive deeper.
It makes me very happy to support sustainable projects in any way I can and that is needed, be it in the garden, the kitchen, with children, construction or housekeeping. I have experience in all those areas from previous projects and am flexible and also always open to learn something new. :)
I'd love to contribute all I can offer to your project, to share skills, hugs and stories, to learn and connect.
All the best

My most relevant skills for right now:
- social skills:
I'm an open, communicative and oftentimes enthusiastic person. I'd love to work in places with many people around, in communities with closer relationships of simply in families. I can also work, play with and teach languages (English, German and Spanish) and skills to children and teenagers.
- creativity:
I love the arts, whether speaking of writing, music, acting, photography, design etc. I love to express myself and to put ideas into practice and am very eager to learn new skills in this field.
- languages/teaching:
I can teach German, English and basic Spanish to you. Generally, I love sharing knowledge and making other people or children enthusiastic about what they're learning. My approach is to work with creative and pedagogical techniques that show the learners the beauty and utility of their learning, and to meake thrm understand how what they learn relates to them personally.
- practical work/maintenance/farming:
I've got quite some experience with renovating and rebuilding properties, have helped in several ecological peojects and am also always willing to help with tasks like cleaning, maintenance and cooking, which I love!
But, most importantly, I am eager to learn new skills and would describe myself as a quick learner.Age
