Description
Hello, I am Gisela, a friendly, mature, uncomplicated, open-minded, healthy and fit woman from Germany. I love to travel, discover new countries, people, cultures and new things. I am a trained social worker, Waldorf school teacher, raw food chef and educator. Through my jobs I have travelled the world and lived and worked in many different countries. A few years ago, I spent 8 1/2 years travelling all over the USA, Canada, Central and South America, Spain, Italy and Portugal, working in many different places such as organic farms, health and wellness centres, herbal farms and education centres, eco villages and with many private "masters in their field". I have gained a lot of experience in organic farming, nutrition, health, medicinal herbs and of course community living. As a social worker and Waldorf teacher I have worked in South Africa, New Zealand and Switzerland.
I loved travelling around Africa for a year doing voluntary work on organic farms, in orphanages and schools.
I am still fascinated by learning new skills and expanding my horizons in all directions. That's why I love workaway and I still feel like a child in awe.
You can get an insight into my work as a raw food chef and educator here: http://www.glowinggourmet.com
