Atividades em que tenho interesse:

Interested in connecting with other people. I love languages and sharing that passion.

Descrição

German by birth, international by choice, I have lived, studied, traveled and worked around the world for the past 14 years (currently back in Germany for a while)

Workaway has hugely opened my eyes and changed the way I travel. When I started, it was all about checking off the major sights of every place I went to. Now I believe in human connections, cultural exchange, sharing knowledge & learning from each other and challenging my beliefs about life and the world by visiting different places.
I have volunteered in the Netherlands, Australia, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Peru and keep fond memories of meeting inspiring people, learning new skills and having a great cultural exchange.

I am also grateful for Workaway as it has introduced me to the idea of teaching English as a career which I have thus been following over the past 6 years (2.5 years in Japan, 1.5 years in Canada, 2.5 in Germany) and I am always happy to teach at a workaway as well (and German, my native language, though I am not as proficient in teaching the nuts and bolts of it as in English ;))

I also enjoy working with nature and on the land. Having done many workaways that focused on farming and gardening, I am expanding my knowledge more and more and have the feeling that this will become part of my future as well on a small scale eventually.
I have quite some experience in hospitality as well and have worked as a receptionist in hostels and have volunteered in different types of lodging (Airbnb, guesthouses...).

I do think that all these experiences have made me become a very open person. I try my best to live a life of no judgement and to consider every person's individual character and personality. I believe everyone has someone to teach me or share with me.
I enjoy learning more about yoga and meditation, breath work - I lost the practice while being back in Germany during the pandemic, but am slowly easing back into it, knowing that it used to be such a big part of my life.

Quais são suas habilidades?

I speak 8 languages to a varying degree (currently learning Italian) and have 5 years experience in teaching English in Japan (private lessons, group lessons, college, kindergarten, age group 3-68), Canada (language institute classes, age group 16+) and Germany (Business English). I also have a TESOL certificate from Arizona State University.
I enjoy the hospitality sector and have worked at various cafés/restaurants in different countries.
My degree in Business and internships gave me knowledge in marketing, customer service and sales/fundraising. I'm currently learning SEO and website building.
Furthermore, I have worked in a travel agency and due to a lot of travelling which I organized by myself I can also organize trips, give travel advice...
Generally, I am very open to different experiences and willing to simply try out whatever is there to do. I believe we have so many more skills than we are aware of and can always learn more.
