Descripción

Dear Hosts and Workawayers,

With great openness and curiosity, I look forward to every experience that may cross my path.

My name is Michele, I’m 35 years old and originally from Germany. After several years of traveling, I have been back in Germany for a little over a year now, working as a freelance photographer and videographer. Workaway has always been close to my heart, as it combines what I value most: meeting inspiring people, meaningful exchange, and learning through shared experiences.

I chose Workaway because I genuinely enjoy connecting with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Openness, curiosity, and respect for different ways of living are core values in my life. For me, Workaway is not just about traveling, but about authentic encounters, community, and contributing my skills in a meaningful way.

During a one-year journey through Central America, I worked in around 13 different volunteering projects. Through these experiences, I became very familiar with a wide range of volunteering tasks and environments—from hands-on physical work to creative, organizational, community-based projects and also in my field - Photography and Content Creation. Living and working closely with hosts and other volunteers taught me flexibility, responsibility, and how important clear communication and teamwork are in shared living and working situations.

My professional background lies mainly in the creative field. I spent many years working in the fashion industry, followed by interior design, always in close interaction with clients and creative teams. Along the way, I realized how important it is for me to do work that feels purposeful and enriching—not only creatively, but also on a human level. Connection with people, animals, and nature plays a huge role in my life.

I draw inspiration from many areas: photography, videography, design, fashion, psychology, yoga, movement, dance, and art & culture. I also love cooking, exploring new cuisines, working with my hands, and spending time outdoors—whether hiking, being in nature, or simply appreciating the beauty of our planet.

One of my most formative experiences was walking the Camino de Santiago, where I met incredible people from all over the world. These encounters deeply shaped me and strengthened my belief in the power of community, shared goals, and creating something together.

Through Workaway, I’m excited to bring in my creative and practical skills, support projects with heart, and continue learning along the way. I value a positive mindset, reliability, and working together with joy and respect. As someone once told me during my travels: “No matter what happens, never lose your smile.” That mindset still guides me.

I’m very much looking forward to meeting kindred spirits, exchanging ideas, and creating meaningful moments together.

Let’s create an unforgettable time full of laughter, inspiration, and genuine connection.

Que habilidades tienes?

Let me tell you a little bit about my professional journey.
So, here's the story: So far i have experience in 5 volunteer projects in colombia. From farm work, construction, organisation to creating content in form of photos and videos, reception and bartending.
Now about my career, that started with a education in retail, where I honed my customer service and communication skills. However, my creative self craved more, so I eagerly dove into the world of fashion. Specifically, I had the opportunity to contribute to the growth of a fashion brand by co-designing stores, training employees, and leading workshops. It was a fantastic experience, but deep down, I knew that I was missing the social aspect.

That was the moment when I decided to pursue a parallel path and train as a dance educator. This wonderful opportunity allowed me to combine my love for dance, pedagogy, and interacting with people. On the side, I volunteered for a refugee project in Germany and spent some time taking care of energetic little ones in a kindergarten. After my time in the fashion industry, I took the leap into the world of interior design. There, I took on the role of store management, but I also had the chance to unleash my creativity by designing spaces for clients and providing input on furniture design. I even got involved in hands-on tasks like furniture assembly, painting, and floor installation. Additionally, I managed social media channels and created content, which further fueled my passion for photography. This ultimately led me to shift my focus towards photography and more freely expressive creative work. And last but not least, I've also gained some experience in the gastronomy field.

In a nutshell, my professional journey has been a colorful mix of practical, organizational, communicative, and creative elements. I would be absolutely thrilled to bring these skills to exciting projects or hostels and, of course, to learn new and inspiring things along the way.

Here are some areas where I could be of assistance:

- Handiwork
- Gardening
- Cleaning
- Hospitality
- Service
- Creative work (design, marketing ideas)
- Social media
- Photography
- Childcare
- Animal care
- Events
- Social work
- Cooking, Baking


So, if any of these align with your needs, count me in! Let's create something unforgettable together and have a ton of fun in the process.
