Description

####UPDATE 2024:
After some time of settling down in Germany, I'm back travelling. Currently I'm in India, where I'm planning to stay as long as possible.


I hope you get a glimpse of my experience:

I'm a professional writer and video editor and since 2015 I've (more or less) living a nomad life. I have spent over one year in New Zealand and a lot of time in different european countires, especially in Italy.

About a decade ago I studied journalism and media management and gathered various types of work experience (in video production companies, agencies, online magazines). Apart from media companies I have worked in hospitality for quite some time.

Currently I'm mainly focussing on my own creative projects and finding inspiration in my travels.

#### Some other volunteer jobs/projects I've worked on in the past years:

- 2015: farm hand at a cattle farm in Austria for one month
- 2015: trail maintenance in the german fore-alps (one week project)
- 2016: building toilets after a cyclone in Fiji for six weeks
- 2016: planting and cutting trees in New Zealand (several conservation projects and pest control)
- 2015-2019: cleaning, bedmaking and reception in several hostels (New Zealand, Poland, Italy)
- 2020: one month of volunteering in a hotel in Jaisalmer, India.

If I'm not working, hiking or doing volunteering I'm mainly writing on my blog growthbuddy.rocks.


#### What brought me here?

To make it short: my curiosity

Here on workaway I am especially interested in physcial work, but of course I'm helping you with your content strategy for social media / website or video if you need help with that.

It would be great to find a balance between computer work and work outdoors or with people.

If you are planning a video production, I am happy to help you with equipment (if I have the possbility). We can discuss it in advance.

It is my strength to solve all sorts of creative challenges. It is my speciality to help people get "unstuck" if they feel trapped in a creative process or something like that. Please feel free to talk to me about that.

For me workaway is a great opportunity to broaden my horizon and challenge my limits. Also I really like to experience different ways of living in order to understand this world better...


I'm looking forward to get in touch with you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
