Descripción
Hi there! My name is Maria and I'm an adventure-seeking traveler from Germany currently at home having just finished my studies and now looking for some new adventures. In 2023 I took off the time to travel through East Asia after my exchange in Hong Kong until mid May. I ended up up spending the whole year away and made some amazing connections and memories. Top of my list definitly have to be helping out in a diving school in Thailand and starting my way to a diving instructor and hiking for almost 3 consecutive weeks in the Himalayas. Even before that I've had my fair share of globetrotting experiences, from completing a workaway program in Canada to road tripping across Europe in my trusty car during breaks from studying Computer Science and Business. One of my passions is the great outdoors, and I'm always up for a good hike (I've crossed the Alps multiple times now!), kayaking, swimming, camping, biking - anything that lets me revel in the beauty of nature.
As someone who loves learning about new things, I'm constantly seeking out new experiences and opportunities to expand my horizons. I'm deeply passionate about both the small and big things in life, and I'm always eager to connect with new people and forge meaningful connections. I'm equally comfortable in social situations, where I'm happy to take the first step in getting to know others, as well as in moments of solitude, where I relish the opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth.
In addition to my adventures on the road, I've also worn many hats in various jobs along the way, including working as a software developer, waitress, small house renovator, English teacher, babysitter, German tester, airport cargo worker, conference helper, and more. During my last workaway experience in the Phillipines I helped out in building new hust and learning some more carpentry skills (which is something I am more than willing to conitnue because it was a lot of fun and very interesting!), helping the place open up to more booking oportunities (opening accounts on Agoda, LonelyPlanet, Hostelworld, etc.) and managing their social media presence. This consinsted mainly of created stories, responding to messages and creating content in the format of reels and picture based posts. These diverse experiences have enriched my life and shaped my perspective in countless ways. One of them definitly accepting that plans are all good and needed at times but that they also don't work out quite often and that a positive attitude for work and flexibility can go a long way.
As I continue discovering a new part of the planet, I am enthusiastic about exploring volunteering opportunities and contributing to meaningful projects. Whether it's immersing myself in a new culture, learning new skills, or lending a helping hand, I am eager to be part of projects that have a positive impact on communities and the environment. I look forward to working together to create memorable experiences and hopefully make a tiny bit of a difference in this world!Intereses

While my cooking skills are a work in progress, I'm eager to pitch in and help with basic cooking tasks. I'm a social person and would be thrilled to give tours or be the first one to show somebody around. I can assist with some techy stuff depending on what you are in need of ;) When it comes to renovating houses, I have helped my friends with various projects and been involved in a lot (...) of moving processes, from painting walls to fixing furniture (more or less expertly) and even creating a new terrace. Lately, I have become more interested and also skilled in social media content creation, so could easily assist in creating new content in the format of reels / blog articles / posts or small videos as well as general maintenance of an online presence.

I feel like I already shared a lot, if there are any more questions I am of course happy to answer them but most the time meeting in person is the best way to getting to know somebody, don't you think? ;)
