Hey, looking for an adventure in southern Europe!
Description
Hey! I am Diana, a 26-year old German who is currently on a work and travel through Europe. I finished a my BA in Cultural Studies at Nagoya University in Japan last year. Most people would probably describe me as reliable, positive and creative. I bring a wide variety of skills and experience! Check out the description. Also, I grew up in a big patchwork family and have been traveling all my life. So, I have no difficulties adapting to all kinds of environments and people. For me, happiness is in the small things, like the sound of leaves in the wind, or dancing until the feet hurt (very cheesy, I know). :) I am passionate to learn new things, get to know people, and challenge myself!

More details about your skills
Throughout my life, I have worked several jobs, everything from café waitress, insurance office, fancy Berlin stores to pottery studio and alpine farms. Recently, I helped renovate my great grandparents house.
Also I've done workaway projects that involved cleaning, weeding, gardening and caring for animals (I know how to milk goats and cows! :D). I am a hard worker, and love both manual and hands-on work as well as more „intellectual work“.
One of my jobs was in a Japanese Ryokan, here's a little video about it: https://youtu.be/0Bnc67l89bw?si=Y6kQLWiZ4oNJLubh
(I am the blonde, see me work a little from approx. 3:08) :)

I grew up in a big family and am used to do everyday household tasks like laundry, cooking and cleaning, basic gardening tasks etc. Although I only have elder siblings, I would say I get along with children well too. Pets and other animals are no problem either! In short, I can offer help with all kinds of things, and I will do whatever task comes up reliably. I also have no problem taking responsibility or being proactive.

My biggest strength is creativity, and I have experience with projects such as making stop-motion animation, murals, painting pottery, and drawing and sketching in general. I have also created some small films and managed social media accounts in the past.

Lastly, I am communicative and speak many languages so can also help with anything related here as well. I currently study cultural studies at the undergraduate level, so I have much experience in writing, researching and creating presentations too.

Looking forward to meeting and assisting you! :)

26
What else ...
I love to be creative, in particular drawing and sketching. My favorite pastime is to go on long walks, and sketch interesting things I see outside. Also, I am interested in art and design made by others, and like to visit museums or exhibitions. I also like to dance, make music and party a bit from time to time.

In general, I love to be outside, for example to hike, surf, swim or take walks. But I also love to spend days inside, to cook, bake or to invite friends over.

Kisami is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots in Japan!

This Community is an amazing workaway experience ! I was a bit nervous, because I had never lived in a big community before. But all the lovely people and the great time I had made me realize how much I enjoy this style of living. They somehow managed to assemble some of the nicest, funniest and interesting people in this space, and I can promise… read more

It was a delight to have Diana and Jens stay with us. They did all the tasks they were given and showed good initiative. They are such lovely people to share with and they fitted into our household perfectly. We became firm friends and would have them back in a heartbeat. If they want to come and stay with you don't hesitate - you won't regret it.

This was my first workaway experience, and it sure set a high standard for those to follow! Together with my partner, I spent over a month with the beautiful people that live and work in this suburban heaven, and loved every minute of it! Working hours are clear: 2hrs every morning, but if you need, you can also sometimes take days off and make up… read more
