Descrição

Hi, I’m Vanessa Rose!

Currently I am searching for a Workaway from the start or mid of November until mid of December 2023 in the southern regions of Spain.

In short, I’m a mindful, energetic and enthusiastic 24 year old human being from Bavaria, Germany with filipino and spanish roots. My purpose of using workaway is to experience other countries, cultures and connections while giving back to the world and people who preferably have the same values as me!

** Some facts about me:

- I am widely known as “walking ray of sunshine”, “glue of the family & friends” and “bundle of energy”
- I am always up for new things, experiences & learnings
- I have high levels of energy, enthusiasm, discipline & motivation
- I am passionate about good habits such as plant-based nutrition, different types of sports, keeping a gratitude, mindfulness & travel journal and working out before meditating first thing in the morning
- I am a singer, as well as a self-taught piano & guitar player, and I was singing on big stages since my childhood in Germany, Austria & Switzerland
- I am a passionate advocate for whole-hearted living and simply being true to yourself
- I am solo-traveling through the Valencian region since May 2023
- I am intentionally and slowly traveling to fully integrate in the host’s projects or families and to enjoy the real life instead of just being a tourist


** My favourite things in life:

my journal, meditating and doing yoga (especially in nature), dreamy sunrises and sunsets, medjool dates with walnuts, connecting with like-minded people, enjoying the beauty of nature and definitely laughing after having done something crazy for the first time in my life.


** Characters that influenced me:

- Sadia Badiei (Pick Up Limes)
- Andy Puddicombe (Headspace)
- Brené Brown (TedX)

& also: Mel Robbins, Charles Duhigg, Stephen R. Covey, Michael Greger, John Strelecky, Vex King and Ryder Carroll.


** My motto:
“Gratitude is the best attitude.”


** My mission:

I’m a believer in the good in the world. I believe in connections between people and also nature. And nothing can take away my positive view of all things in life.
I believe that a good act is always followed by another one - that's why I want to combine exactly that with my goal of traveling. Also, I try to be as compassionate towards other beings - both human and non-human - with every decision I make on this planet.

It makes me happy to make others happy and do something good every day. So you can say I love win-win situations! Hopefully I will experience one with you! :)

Mais detalhes sobre meu interesse em idiomas
As a native german, I could happily pass on my knowledge of the german language. And because I grew up almost bilingual with a filipino mother, I could also teach english to a certain extent. I am very passionate about spanish and started to learn it in 2021 by the side but really got more into it while speaking daily with spanish host families. So by now, my level of spanish is decent, yet I want to improve it at any given moment by relentlessly taking notes. I still understand a little bit of french from school lessons back then, but improving my spanish is now more of a priority to me. So in short: I could teach German and English. And I would love to improve my Spanish.

Quais são suas habilidades?

** Soft skills:

1. ambitious and disciplined -> I am persistent, hard-working, dedicated, diligent and solution-oriented. I know my values and priorities and I am constantly testing my limits and abilities. I want to use my time on earth wisely and work towards my goals every day, step by step.
2. curious & motivated -> I have the eagerness to know and learn new things and abilities, that’s why I am independently motivated and interested in many different things. I always want to grow and am open for changes and new adventures.
3. compassionate & understanding -> I practice empathy towards every being (human and non-human) and I am willing to provide emotional support. So I would rather listen than talk and have an open ear and open arms.
4. mindful & grateful -> I practice mindfulness every minute, as I try to be attentive, aware, purposeful, present, and joyful in every moment. Because every moment is unique & we only have “now”.
5. courageous & capable -> I am doing things despite fear - that’s what I consider brave. I am the first to approach others and always the first to say yes to almost every new thing. I’d rather say “not yet” instead of “no”.
6. versatile & flexible -> As I am interested in many things, I also have many different soft and hard skills, which help me to adapt quickly into my environment. Also, I am easy-going and always adjusting myself to my environment. Because of that, I am open, open-minded and patient.
7. honest & respectful -> Honesty is very important to me. I am truthful, even if it is uncomfortable at times. It is most important to be true to myself and others, even if that makes me vulnerable. I want to be counted on and I also what to count on the people I spend time with.
8. resilient & positive -> I luckily quickly recover from potential stressful situations and unexpected changes, because I see every hurdle as a chance to grow and every setback as a learning. That makes me also hopeful, because without lows there would be no highs. So I remain calm despite uncertainty and chaos at times.
9. structured yet spontaneous -> I love routines and good habits, but still want to have room for unplanned wonderful things. That’s why I like planning things beforehand but also like going with the flow & see where the stream takes me.

** Hard skills:
- with my B.A. in marketing management I know have knowledge in business administration and marketing measures
- during my former work at an marketing agency, I was responsible for the project management and learned to set priorities for different projects and timelines
- I also was responsible as a key account manager with direct customer contact, which helped me to communicate effectively through any communication channel such as E-Mail or phone, and especially face-to-face in person
- I organised and executed workshops for external customers and internal projects, so I learnt to speak in front of many people and also lead the way through agendas towards solutions
- in former workaway experiences, I happily supported with: cleaning, supporting in household chores, cooking, child-mining, organising, interacting as part of the family, teaching english
