Description

If there is one thing that truly defines me, it is my deep love for people, cultures, and shared experiences. I am also deeply passionate about youth work and education, and I previously worked as an Educator at a kindergarten in Arnach, southern Germany. It was a truly special and heartwarming experience of supporting and working with such an adorable group of kids.

Music was one - and maybe still one- of my greatest loves (currently trying to find new hobbies). But I play the piano, guitar, drums etc and have been part of a community music project in Spain where we performed in local cafés, town festivals, nursing homes, and small gatherings, spreading hope and joy with our music.. Many of my happiest moments involve making or playing music with other people... or doing sports: mountain biking, climbing, skating, acrobatics, ping pong, basketball, decathlon.

I am naturally playful, warm, vibrant and full of jolly energy, may be sometimes too much energy. I have been told my superpower is spreading happiness and making people come alive😊. At the same time, I can be sometimes introverted. So, you never know what's coming. hahaha.

Nature is my bliss and dwelling place. So, I appreciate environments conducive to connecting and growing alongside people who value sustainability, gardening, animal care, and community living.
side note: I am working on a project idea and dearly in search of a co- founder (Software developer). If that resonates to you, please reach out and let's do something great together.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I recently started learning Spanish (so a language partner to practice with would be very nice). My German is pretty good. Yoruba and English are my native languages and I can hence teach both of these languages.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have developed a strong blend of creative, social, and organizational skills through my work experience, volunteering, and community initiatives.

• Youth & Educational Skills – I primarily work as an online tutor supporting children, teens and adults specifically in Math, English, Music and Fun
• Digital & Media Skills – Before pivoting to Education, I used to work in my early 20s as a social media manager...primarily retail marketing, content creation, photo and video editing, project documentation and the rest of the baggage that comes with such a skill.
• Culinary Skills – I have worked as a Chef and really enjoy cooking, experimenting and trying out new recipes and cultural dishes from different countries.
• Creative & Artistic Skills – like facilitating music sessions, arts and crafts, storytelling, theater improvisation, and movement-based activities.
• Handy / Gardening Skills – Not a pro, but I’ve been very active lately with all things repair, woodwork, building and gardening. And it’s been an absolute blast.

Marouska, Kunda and Joshi (the three musketeers, as I like to call them) generously lavished upon me one of the best experiences I have ever had as a traveller. The place is very nature grounded. And the work is varied, time-flexible and wonderfully invigorating. From gardening, to woodwork, sand-painting, mowing, trimming, cleaning, renovating, … read more

Ovie stayed for five weeks at our place and, oh boy, we had some fun together. From the moment we picked him up it felt very familiar. He’s such a sparkling personality who puts a laugh on your face. Although the interaction was very easygoing, he could perfectly spend his time on his own, which made it comfortable to have him around.

We had such a wonderful time with Ovie, and it was a shame that his stay was so short. He helped me build a brick wall, and we cooked together or rather, he often cooked for us, and the food was absolutely delicious! In the evenings, we enjoyed playing games together.

It was very easy to arrange everything around his working hours, and the whole … read more

I spent almost two weeks with Konstanze's family and it was a truly great pleasure. Konstanze is wonderfully kind, welcoming and a natural conversationalist who made me feel right at home from the very first day.

She generously showed me how to make Spätzle, a recipe I will definitely be keeping. We also explored a bit of the town together, … read more

Manuela and Torsten were absolutely wonderful hosts. The tasks were easy and enjoyable. I had a lot of fun working in the garden and helping out with small renovation projects. Torsten is a genius in the kitchen, and I looked forward to every single meal. Manuela is warm, cheerful, and easy to talk to, and she's also a fantastic photographer … read more

Ovie hat viel Freude und Lachen in unsere Familie gebracht! Und natürlich nicht nur das, sondern er hat sich mit seiner ganzen Energie eingesetzt wo er konnte, bei den Pferden, im Garten und im Haus....Er hat selber geschaut wo dringend eine Hand gebraucht wurde und sich dort eingebracht.

Peace, joy and lots of laughter... these are words that immediately come to mind when I retrospect on my stay with Nina. From the moment I arrived, I immediately felt at home, and that feeling never left. I can say without doubt that this is a home I will always return to.

Nina's place is simple, peaceful and deeply connected to nature — blissful … read more walking paths, friendly neighbours, and her parents' magical garden just five minutes away where one could spend hours doing garden work. Friends of Nina's would visit from time to time, and they were all wonderfully warm. I also had a great time with Nina's sister.

The tasks were varied and enjoyable... mucking out the stalls, looking after the majestic ponies (Laila and Luana), weeding, walking Bell (an adorable dog), small repair works, playing with Joli (Nina's nine-year-old niece), helping Zoé with maths, cooking, and household cleaning. I normally prefer garden work over cleaning, but Nina's home was so full of love and bliss that I often found myself just enchanted and dancing while cleaning for hours with joy and simply losing track of time. I think we can safely say Nina has a gift for enchanting people...with love, homeliness and kindness.

Nina also went out of her way to enrich my experience — taking me to the pool in the next town, late night music together (singing and playing the guitar), a peaceful forest walk that culminated in breathtaking views, and even teaching me bareback horse riding. Zoé joined too, a pro rider with one of the best smiles ever, what a cheerful, ambitious young girl. Good luck with your future plans, Zooeeeeeeeeeé!

Time flew by, and it truly saddened me to leave. And as if joy, peace and lots of laughter weren't enough, Nina sent me on my way with happiness, satisfaction and wholeness of heart. Until we meet again, Ovie 🤍

Frieden, Freude und viel Lachen... das sind die Worte, die mir sofort in den Sinn kommen, wenn ich an meinen Aufenthalt bei Nina zurückdenke. Von dem Moment an, als ich ankam, fühlte ich mich sofort wie zu Hause und dieses Gefühl hat mich nie verlassen. Ich kann ohne Zweifel sagen, dass dies ein Zuhause ist, zu dem ich immer wiederkehren werde.

Ninas Zuhause ist einfach, friedlich und tief mit der Natur verbunden, wunderschöne Waldwege, freundliche Nachbarn und der magische Garten ihrer Eltern, nur fünf Minuten entfernt, wo man stundenlang Gartenarbeit machen könnte. Freunde von Nina kamen von Zeit zu Zeit vorbei, und alle waren wunderbar herzlich. Ich hatte auch eine tolle Zeit mit Ninas Schwester.

Die Aufgaben waren vielfältig und angenehm...Pferdeboxen ausmisten, die majestätischen Ponys (Laila und Luana) versorgen, Unkraut jäten, Bell (einen entzückenden Hund) spazieren führen, kleine Reparaturarbeiten, mit Joli spielen (Ninas neunjähriger Nichte), Zoé beim Mathe helfen, kochen und Haushaltsreinigung. Normalerweise bevorzuge ich Gartenarbeit gegenüber dem Putzen, aber Ninas Zuhause war so voller Liebe und Glück, dass ich mich oft dabei ertappte, wie ich verzaubert und tanzend stundenlang mit Freude putzte und dabei einfach die Zeit vergaß. Ich glaube, man kann sagen, dass Nina die Gabe hat, Menschen zu verzaubern, mit Liebe, Heimeligkeit und Freundlichkeit.

Nina tat auch alles, um meine Zeit zu bereichern...sie nahm mich mit ins Schwimmbad in der Nachbarstadt, wir machten gemeinsam spätabends Musik (Singen und Gitarre spielen), einen friedlichen Waldspaziergang mit atemberaubendem Ausblick, und sie brachte mir sogar das Reiten ohne Sattel bei. Zoé war auch dabei, eine Profi-Reiterin mit einem der schönsten Lächeln überhaupt. Was für ein fröhliches, ehrgeiziges Mädchen. Viel Erfolg für deine Zukunftspläne, Zooeeeeeeeeeé!

Die Zeit verging wie im Flug, und es hat mich wirklich traurig gemacht zu gehen. Und als ob Freude, Frieden und viel Lachen nicht genug gewesen wären, schickte Nina mich mit Glück, Zufriedenheit und Herzensfrieden auf den Weg. Bis wir uns wiedersehen, Ovie 🤍
