Description

Hi! I’m Felix — a 35-year-old German currently living in beautiful Wānaka, New Zealand.
I’m an outdoors enthusiast with a big curiosity for people, places, and different ways of life. I love learning new skills, sharing stories, and helping out wherever I can. Workaway is my way of exploring the world more slowly and meaningfully while connecting with others.

I’m happiest when I’m outside and active. Over the years I’ve worked as a canyoning and climbing guide in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand and Iceland, and I enjoy pretty much anything that involves mountains, water or a bit of adventure. I’ve also completed several marathons, triathlons, half-marathons, and even an ultramarathon (Arrowtown Backyard Ultra) — so I’m comfortable with physical work and long days.

My professional background is quite varied:
-Canyoning & climbing guide
-Dispensing Optician / MSc Optometry & Vision Science
-Landscaping and forestry/lumberjack experience
-Husky farm volunteer in Iceland (4 weeks in 2018)
- experience in recycling and reusing

Currently working for Wastebusters, a non-profit recycling organisation in Wānaka
What all these experiences have in common is that they taught me to be reliable, adaptable, and calm. I enjoy both hands-on work and helping people, and I’m not afraid to get dirty, work hard, or learn from scratch.
In 2022 I walked the full Camino Francés in Spain and later published a book about the journey. That adventure reminded me how valuable human connection, humility, and shared experiences can be — and it’s exactly what I hope to continue through Workaway.
If you’re looking for someone positive, practical, respectful, and eager to help, I’d love to be part of your project.
Feel free to get in touch for hiking, kayaking, canyoning or anything outdoorsy and exciting — or simply a good chat over coffee.
