Descripción

Hello Workaway Hosts,

My name is Nadja, and I’m a passionate traveller, teacher, and lifelong learner from the Netherlands. My journey began in Mallorca, Spain, where I ran a homestay near the beach and worked in tourism with international guests. Since 2018, I’ve been traveling through Asia and Europe, immersing myself in diverse cultures, volunteering, and sharing my skills.

As a certified TEFL teacher, I’ve taught English in Bangkok at private schools and as a Business English tutor for adults. In Nepal, I volunteered in a Buddhist monastery and a Montessori school, which deepened my spiritual journey and love for teaching. This path led me to India, where I became a certified Yoga Alliance teacher and volunteered with NGOs, teaching yoga to children and even a cricket team!

My volunteer experiences have expanded to eco-farming projects in Nepal, shepherding in the mountains of Andalusia, and off-grid sustainability work in Spain, where I contributed to permaculture initiatives and solar-powered living. Alongside teaching and volunteering, I’m certified in Reiki energy therapy and Guasha massage, helping people balance their energy and alleviate stress.

I’m fluent in English, German, and Spanish, with a bit of Hindi, and bring a broad skill set, including hospitality, cooking, gardening, social media, and content creation. I’m an active, positive person who thrives on learning, hiking, practicing yoga and meditation, and cooking international dishes. I also explore Vedic astrology and in my work as a Tarot Interpreter is part of my spiritual awareness.

My life philosophy centres around embracing life wholeheartedly, sharing knowledge, and connecting with kindred spirits. I’m ready to join your community, contribute my skills, and grow alongside new experiences. Let’s create something meaningful together!

Warm regards,
Nadja

I taught ESL to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students of various cultural and linguistic backgrounds in Thailand, Nepal and India for the last few years. Before stepping into this role, I earned my TEFL certification after completing the 120-hour premier TEFL course. Through my teaching experiences and TEFL studies, I developed critical pedagogic and classroom management skills, along with a passion for teaching English. I'm equipped with the Communicative Teaching Method, a philosophy that I’m excited to work with. I apply this method in the classroom through interactive, student-centred activities that maximize “student talk time.” I scaffold my lessons so that they include pair and group work, as well as movement around the classroom. By engaging students in speaking, grammar, writing, listening, and reading and appealing to diverse learning styles, I help them improve their accuracy and fluency across key skill areas. After living in different foreign countries, I understand both the excitement and the challenges that accompany learning a new language and living abroad. I speak the languages English, German and Spanish fluently on a native level and speak also a bit of French and Hindi, and recently I got certified in teaching Yoga Classes.

Que habilidades tienes?

I am an active, energetic and hard working person. I speak the languages English, German and Spanish fluently and a bit of French. The Netherlands is my home country. I am good in teaching English and Yoga, hosting, cooking, gardening, writing and I am a social and flexible person and have an entrepreneurial spirit, I taught myself a lot about making websites and videos and lately I got inspired to teach about investing and trading Cryptocurrency. For the creative mind I started to weave Mandalas and making natural dreamcatchers. For more info for my healing skills visit shaktitarot.ocm

Algo más...

After travel for more than one year now in India, I got very experienced with India and Indian culture. People in India started calling me Shakti as everywhere I bring some light and happiness and try to empower and motivate people.
I practice yoga every day and like to play the Tongue Drum. I love walking/hiking in nature a lot and this is part of my daily exercise. Also biking and swimming are favorites. Cooking is important for a healthy lifestyle so I love to learn new recipes and I try many dishes. With Vedic astrology and Tarot I stay tuned with my spiritual awareness. Lately I developed some new crafts like Mandala weaving and making natural dreamcatchers.
