Description

Workaway

Hi there :-)

I am Lea from Germany, a psychologist and researcher by profession, very curious, open-minded and a nature lover (protecting it, being there, value
ing, admiring and discovering it).
Various things are interesting to me, but what always catches me are sensitive souls, hands-on energetic people, music, animals and sports.

I just came back from 6 months on Elba (a Tuscan island in Italy). I've been working for a dive center and learned scuba diving from scratch to dive master.
Now I'm trying to figure out what to do next, since I don't have an apartment any more but would like to travel more or establish a flexible lifestyle in terms of location - so exciting!

Why Workaway?
For some weeks I was trying to find a good way to travel Canada and felt a bit lost. When I found Workaway I finally felt: Yes! This is what I want to do! I love to experience other cultures not only from outside but meet local people, travel slowly (compared to just rushing from one stunning national park to another), be in close contact with nature.
I’m new to Workaway and also to volunteering, and am very curious and motivated to engage in some workaway experience! I quickly understand and pick up how things are to be done and am keen to help people with whatever I can. Supporting others is a great joy for me. :-)

I’m looking very much forward to all the opportunities that evolve and will be happy to read your message :-)

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
Currently, I would like to learn more Italian. I stayed for eight months in Italy to learn how to speak it in everyday life and not just in theory. Unfortunately, my work was German so it's not as good as I'd like it to be :-) Next language I wanna learn is Spanish! I can teach English and German :-)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Manual skills
- Plants: Grew up with a garden and sometimes helped my parents with caring about it (lawn mowing, weeding, planting, watering, composting, cutting hedges,…) and my apartment is packed with thriving plants
- Animals: Grew up with a dog at my grandparents’ house, I have a cat (7 years old), I love animals - they fascinate me and I value them a lot, have had some riding lessons (but only very basic)
- Children: I have two younger brothers and did several babysitting jobs; children like me very much, because I’m a playful and respectful person (It’s important for me to treat them as an individual, instead of from above)
- Passion for coffee (worked as a Barista for 6 months) - but I cannot do latte art :-(
- I can cook (mostly vegetarian, but also some meat/fish dishes)
- Play piano (5 years), singing (2 years)
- Basic sewing skills and advanced crocheting skills
- Repair bikes (basic to advanced skills)
- Basic manual skills (nailing, using a drilling machine or a saw, built a 7m spiral stair for my cat so she could go outside, painting walls, build furniture)
- Languages (A1: Spanish, Dutch // A2: French, Italian // C2: English // C3: German)


„Soft skills“
- I have a good aesthetic sense and some abilities in creating graphics (taking nice fotos, making graphically nice looking flyers/presentations/…)
- Scientific work, abstract thinking, statistics, workshops, …
- A bit about artificial intelligence (I’m working for a start-up on that)
- Some knowledge about emergency medical services and fire brigade because my research institute is doing research on technical innovations in that field
- Psychology (I’m not a therapist though, only have a Master degree), currently doing my PhD
- Computers (I cannot program, but can deal with PCs and Macs)

…I probably forgot some skills. Feel free to ask me!
