Descrição

Hi, my name is Lea. I am from Germany and live in Wuppertal which is 30 min from Cologne and famous for the Schwebebahn. I moved there in October 2022 to study psychology and now in September 2025 I will finish my Bachelors degree.

But you probably want to know about me and what kind of person I am… Well, what I would always say about myself is: I try to be kind to everyone, am open-minded and don't get stressed easily, I like to learn new skills, sometimes I am more of a listener than a talker but always like to get to know new people and share stories and enjoy to laugh and I can enjoy almost every type of music.
Also I like to do sports, I did gymnastics many years during high school, I go running and like hiking, yoga and skiing, I also tried surfing a couple of times and would love to do it again.
And I like to read, one of the best books I currently red is Piranesi by Susanna Clarke!

After highschool I took a gap year in 2021/22 in which I went to Peru for 3 month and to Spain and Portugal.
In Peru I had my first amazing workaway experience at a hostel right by the beach, next to a surf school.
After that I wanted to volunteer again because it was honestly one of the best months in my life.
So I again volunteered at a different hostel in the south of Peru, then in Portugal at a surf lodge and in the spanish Asturias, where I stayed with a family and spend time with their youngest boy.

So before going to University again to become a therapist one day, I want to take some time to travel and volunteer again. I like studying and university life but at the same time I am really looking forward to travel again and to do something completely different, to have a break from lectures and exams and experience new cultures and get to know new people and places.

Quais são suas habilidades?

Since spring 2023 (so for about two years now), I’ve been working as a waitress at an Italian restaurant. In addition to looking after our guests, I prepare drinks, coffee, and simple cocktails.
Before that, I worked for shorter periods at a coffee shop, a traditional German Biergarten (a restaurant with a large outdoor area in summer), and at a campsite.

Through these jobs, I’ve gained experience in hospitality and guest service. For example I know how to use an espresso machine and how to coordinate smoothly with colleagues during busy shifts.

I also enjoy DIY projects and drawing/painting, so I’m always happy to help out with anything creative!

I’m a native German speaker and also speak English, Spanish, and some French – always keen to practice and improve my language skills.

As part of my Workaway experiences, I volunteered at hostels, a surf lodge and stayed with a family. At my first Workaway, I worked at a bar and served food, helped at reception, did some cleaning, and took part in renovation projects (mainly painting rooms and furniture). At my second hostel, I worked at reception and helped prepare breakfast. Later, at the surf lodge, I was mainly in charge of the breakfast buffet, cleaning up after meals, and some gardening. My last Workaway was with a family, where I looked after their youngest child.

As part of my psychology degree I did two internships, where I gained very interesting insights into the work as a therapist. Right know I am doing an internship at a therapists office for children and adolescents.

I’m always excited to try new things, meet new people, and learn new skills!
