Descripción
Hi! I’m Jakob, 20 years old and from Germany. I just finished high school and decided to take some time before university to travel, learn, and experience life a bit differently.
I’m currently traveling through South America with my backpack and an open mind. I love discovering new places, but what really matters to me are the people I meet, shared moments, and learning about different cultures along the way.
I’m a curious, easygoing, and spontaneous person who enjoys being active and outdoors — hiking, running, swimming, climbing, yoga, or just watching a sunrise in nature. Sports play a big role in my life: I compete in track and field as a hurdler and have been coaching a youth athletics group for the past two years, which I really enjoy.
Music is also important to me. I’ve been playing the saxophone for over ten years, love being around music, and would be excited to finally learn some guitar.
I speak German and English fluently and am learning Spanish. One of my goals during this trip is to really improve my Spanish (I promised my dad I wouldn’t come home before I can have a proper conversation 😄).
I care about sustainability, enjoy working with people, and have experience working in a café/bar. I may not know everything yet — especially when it comes to building or construction — but I’m motivated, quick to learn, and happy to help wherever I can.
For me, it’s all about good energy, shared experiences, and meaningful connections.

Que habilidades tienes?
I’m pretty open when it comes to different kinds of work and always bring motivation and a good attitude. I especially enjoy working with children — playing with them, exploring things together, or helping them learn something new. For the past two years, I coached a kids’ athletics group, which was a really fun and rewarding experience for me.
Sports are a big part of my life. Before traveling, I competed professionally in hurdles, and I’ve always loved trying and doing all kinds of sports just for fun. So anything active or sports-related is something I genuinely enjoy.
I also worked in a café/bar, where I liked being around people, talking to guests, and getting a feel for hospitality. Being outdoors is another thing I really enjoy. During a three-week Workaway stay at a lodge, I helped with gardening tasks like planting, trimming, and general upkeep.
In another Workaway I volunteered in a Hostel, mainly doing Reception Work.
Most of all, I love learning new things. I’m curious, flexible, and happy to take on new challenges — even (or especially) when I’ve never done them before.
