I´m interested in foreign countries and people and try to find a new job that makes me happy. Important for me is to work with people and I want to make a difference.
Meu próximo destino:
South Africa Ver tudoDescrição
Hey! My name is Josef and I love to travel and get to know new countries, cultures und people. Because of Corona I decided to quit my job 2020 and to begin a sabbatical - especially to look for a new orientation in work.
My first project was spending 8 weeks in the beginning of 2021 as a volunteer in different game reserves in Zululand in South Africa and after that I did the Garten Route with a rented car. During this time the "Africa virus" infected me. I was sooo impressed by the nature - the landscape and the animals - and also the people (so kind and helpful). When I´m in Africa I feel free and so energetic, that it was going to be my second home now.
At the beginning of 2022 I started my first workawayer experiences - around 8 weeks in a hotel in The Drakensberge in South Africa and 4 weeks in lodge in Botswana. At the end of both trips the owners offered me to come back - what I did.
From the end of June to the end of December last year I spent my time in the hotel in the Drakensberge - to structure the maintenance and to guide the staff of 9 people. It was a great experience, especially to work with the people, to encourage and to develop them. I was able to move a lot and also found some friends there.
It was very difficult for me to leave them, but it showed me that a part of my heart is now in Africa and I have to come back as soon as possible.
Therefore I´m looking for my next adventure - favoured in Namibia (it´s on my bucket list since a long time) and, if possible, in a game reserve. But I´m also openminded for a stay in other African countries.
Since I´m still in my sabbatical I´m flexibel according to the start and duration (for at least one month).Interesses

Quais são suas habilidades?
I worked for more than 35 years in different institutes of the financial sector - always in sales because I love helping people and to interact with them. I leaded branches and was also self-employed. I collected many experiences and I like use them in every new situation.
It´s very imported for me to be honest, fair and to think outside the box.
I´m very good in analysing situations, organisation and structuring.
During the volunteering in the game reserves I noticed that I´m still flexibel and good at improvising. And I also liked body work - especially when you see the result (for example: preparing a new boma).
Therefore I´m interested people I´m also emphatic.
Especially during the last half year as a maintenance manager in a hotel I worked very close with the local staff - but more in a team, what I really like.Idade
60
Algo mais...
Although I´m already 58 years old I feel more than 40. I think it´s because I´m doing fitness and yoga nearly every day, openminded and like to act with younger people.
I travelled to more than 36 countries but I´m still courious and think I will never be to old for new things. According to food I love to taste everything. The only requirement is that the food should not walk any more (smile)!!!
My motto is "Life is beautiful!" and make decisions!Mais algumas informações

Josef was organised and professional from the outset, and far exceeded all expectations. Any and every task Josef got involved with, he completed in good time. No task was below him, and he probably worked harder than anybody else.
