Travelling
My next destination:
Norway - from May 2022 until Oct 2022 View allDescription
A vagabond addicted to wandering around our beautiful planet and connecting with fellow earthlings.
After graduating from university, I decided to become a bird and have since travelled Southeast Asia, Oceania, Europe, Central America and parts of Northern Africa mainly by hitchhiking, cycling, van-living, couchsurfing, volunteering and teaching languages, yoga and mindfulness practices.
I prefer spending time in nature and love all kinds of outdoor adventures, I'm experienced in working with animals (petsitting as well as working on rescue farms and for animal welfare organisations) and children (I'm a German highschool teacher and have also been teaching English to primary school children in a mountain village in Vietnam, at a Buddhist meditation center in Myanmar and a Maya school in the jungle of Guatemala as well as given private German classes in Morocco and Mexico).
At the moment I'm very passionate about learning everything about permaculture, natural building and more sustainable ways of living and hope I'll get the chance to further my knowledge and put it into practice.
I'm also interested in nutrition, herbs and holistic health, natural cosmetics, yoga, meditation, breathwork, energy healing and - according to family and friends - a pretty decent plant-based cook.
Constantly trying to step out of my comfort zone, I am eager to learn and grow through experience and enjoy thought provoking and challenging conversations.Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

Thank you, Verena, for your help at our farm and we wish you all the best for the future. Take care and come again whenever you like!
During my four years of traveling I have left pieces of my heart in many places but they have rarely been as big as the one I left at this place. This place turned me into a treeplanter, a compost irrigator, a vegan chef, a raw vegan cake… read more
