Descripción
Hi there, I'm Karolin!
Born and raised in Hamburg, Germany. Recent Bachelor graduate. Travel enthusiast. Currently taking a gap year before (hopefully) starting a Master's program in the Fall of 2020. I'm looking forward to working and traveling my way around Canada very soon.
I've had a lot of great experiences being a workawayer - from babysitting in Ireland, to working on a horse farm in England, to working in a hostel in Costa Rica, to volunteering as an English teacher in Cambodia, to working on an Alpaca farm in Quebec - I've had some incredible opportunities!
I am quite confident in riding and caring for horses, as I grew up with two horses in my family. (I love animals in general - so if you have any, that is a big plus!)
I've had a good deal of jobs in hospitality - from waitressing, to cleaning & doing laundry, to managing a hostel - and I enjoy people-focused work. But I love learning new skills, too, if you are willing to teach me.
My Bachelor's degree focused on Psychology and I am particularly interested in neurocognitive functioning & rehabilitation, so I'd be thrilled to take part in any projects even remotely related to those areas!
In general, I would describe myself as open-minded, flexible, independent, and curious. I personally think that workaway is a pretty amazing network, connecting people from all over the world, and I cannot wait to embark on this next adventure of mine. Here's to hoping we might meet each other along the way!
Best wishes,

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. There is no doubt we really enjoyed your company at the orphanage and what you did for the children. Things cannot always be perfect but you have a good heart and we are truly grateful for your presence here. We wish you all the best!
First of all, the kids truly are amazing. Some are so young and yet so capable and responsible. If you ever get up early you will get to witness 27 enthusiastic worker bees buzzing around the school sweeping, tidying and helping to prepare food. There are usually three… read more
