Descrição

Hello!
I'm Alena Mangera-Willeke. I’m originally from Germany, with Indian and German roots, and have lived in a few different places growing up, including Thailand and now the UK. I’ve been based in London since I started university and speak both English and German confidently. I really enjoy meeting new people, learning from different cultures, and exploring new places.

Currently, I’m studying Social Anthropology at SOAS University of London, where I’m exploring how culture, identity and everyday life connect across the globe. I live in London with my partner, who’s doing a master’s in History. Together, we love exploring the city’s art galleries, green parks, and bookshops. I also volunteer regularly at art festivals and galleries, where I help with events, curation, and creative workshops.

Creativity is a big part of who I am, I’m a photographer, mixed media artist (textiles and collage), and writer. I carry my camera everywhere, capturing quiet moments in nature, interesting faces, and small details that often go unnoticed. I love making meaningful connections with people and places, and my creative work is deeply inspired by the landscapes, nature, and stories I encounter while travelling.

I'm passionate about sustainable living: I cycle everywhere, avoid flying where possible, and try to live gently and responsibly. Last summer, I completed three wonderful Workaway experiences across Europe, travelling both solo and with my boyfriend via Interrail. These experiences were full of laughter, learning, and the kind of real, heartfelt conversations that stay with you.

I'm a pescatarian, enjoy slow living, and love cooking meals from scratch. I’d be delighted to help in the kitchen or swap recipes. I’m also a big animal lover (I have a cat called Maggie back in Cambridge!) and would be over the moon to help care for pets, gardens, or outdoor spaces.

People often describe me as warm, confident, calm, and reliable, I take initiative, respect others' space, and find joy in both quiet tasks and lively collaboration. Whether it’s helping with housework, supporting events, looking after animals, or getting creative with a project, I’ll bring positivity and care to whatever I do. :)

I’d love to meet kind hosts, exchange stories, learn new skills, and create something meaningful together, maybe even captured through my lens.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
