Description

Hi:-)
I’m Cora, 25 years old, from Germany. I’m a nature- and animal-loving, creative person with a deep passion for music.
After living in bigger cities like Vienna and Munich for several years, I realized how much I missed nature in my daily life — something I took for granted as a child while growing up in a beautiful rural area in southern Germany.
Since moving back to a quieter, rural area 1.5 years ago (together with a foster dog and a garden), my wish to live more simply and closer to nature has grown stronger.
From February to April, I’ll be traveling through Costa Rica and Panama to learn, help, and explore whether a more nature-based lifestyle could be a long-term path for me.

Background & experience
I trained as a nurse and worked for two years with teenagers with disabilities, which taught me patience, empathy, responsibility, and respectful communication.
After some health challenges (now stable), I studied Audio Engineering to bring my musical ideas to life. Music has always been a central part of my life — songwriting, singing, instruments, production, and creative projects. Creative work feels deeply healing to me.

Interests
Music & sound, yoga, reading & audiobooks, psychology, philosophy & spirituality, creative work (photography, writing, clay, handcrafts), and holistic healing approaches.

I’m especially curious about:
• Nature-connected & off-grid living
• Sustainable building
• Gardening, plant knowledge & permaculture
• Animals & animal care

Personal qualities
Motivated, reliable, physically capable, empathetic, creative, humorous, independent, and a good team player.

Please note:
In the past, I struggled with anxiety and health issues, which taught me a lot about healing and listening to my body. Over the last year, I’ve done several solo trips and now feel confident traveling. Physical work and having something meaningful to do support me a lot. I occasionally have tendonitis in my right wrist, so in rare cases I may need to switch tasks.

Why Workaway?
I want to learn practical skills, support meaningful projects, meet inspiring people, and immerse myself in a simple, nature-based way of living. Long-term, I dream of creating a small place focused on sustainability, creativity, community, healing, and animals.

Autres infos...

I’ve been sober for a couple of years now and I’m very happy with that — meaning I don’t consume any (illegal) substances such as alcohol, weed or other drugs, and I stopped smoking cigarettes nearly two years ago as well.
