Description

Hey there, my name is Jutta and I’m in my early fifties - which might sound quite old to be interested in volunteering abroad. I have never stopped being curious and adventurous, though, and as the coming year will be some sort of sabbatical for me, I will take the chance and try to spend some time abroad. I am a pharmacist, freelancing in different pharmacies in the north of Germany. This gives me the opportunitiy to work with a lot of different people and to widen my experience. It also allows me freedom and to make decisions on my own. My special interest is the prevention of illnesses by focusing on physical and mental health. Not only on the theoretical side. I love all kinds of physical exercise and practise whenever possible: gym,calisthenics, trail running, cycling, paddling, hiking, ski expeditions - just to name a few. I am also very interested in nutrition - theoretical questions as well as home cooking. I try to live sustainably by commuting on my bike or using public transport, by saving water and energy, mending my clothes instead of buying new ones. I have also joined an organisation called “food sharing“. Here, we try to reduce food waste. Next to that, I enjoy reading, practising my language skills and have a good conversation with my friends over a good cup of coffee.
I am an adventurous person when it comes to outdoor activities and travelling, always trying to push my limits and always happy to make new experiences, get to know new people and places. On the other hand, I am known for my calmness. I am not easy to upset and and feel very balanced most of the time. Having lived and worked in many different places, I am used to adapt quickly to any new setting.
I am new to Workaway. Not to volunteering, though. After finishing school, I joined an exchange programme and spent a few summers in France, working at France Télécom and exploring the country. In my late thirties, I discovered Sweden and got very fascinated about a sports event in the Stockholm skerries, which led to volunteering for this event in many of the following years. A great international community and stunning nature! Still one of my preferred travelling destinations in late summer. Finally, in 2019, during a gap month, I made it up to Lapland where I had the chance to help out in a small business for winter tourism. Since then, I have travelled to Lapland every winter, exploring different regions on my skis.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

As mentionned above, I am a pharmacist. That means, I am used to solving all kinds of problems and trying to make people happy. It‘s not always about complicated scientific stuff, more about finding solutions that make life easier for the patients. So, all kinds of hands-on tasks will be welcome! This could be in or around the house, garden, stable, going shopping, looking after animals (experienced with horses, cats, dogs), assisting seniors in their day to day life. I am also good at organising and taking into account all aspects of a certain task. I guess I am not the most experienced person when it comes to renovating or building, though.
I would also be happy to instruct people/ tourists to experience the outdoors - be it on the water, in the forest, in the mountains, in the snow, on skis, bikes… I am a licensed coach for endurance sports and also trained in first aid.
My language skills are the following: English and German very fluent, French fluent (needs a bit of practice maybe), my Spanish is basic, and my Swedish is about A2 - I am working on it!
