Speaks

I understand a bit of Spanish as some of my university courses are in Castellano. I also attend a language course, however, I cannot say a lot and don't have a very good vocabulary yet.

About me

As I said before, I am a student of English Literature and Culture and Romanistics (Bachelor Degree). My passion is languages, literature and different cultures which is why I chose to study this more intensively. Other hobbies I like to do are: Being outside, going for walks, swimming, surfing (when there's a beach haha), skating, making music (guitar, piano, singing), taking care and playing with kids, visiting concerts and theater plays, acting, meeting friends...
I would love to find a volunteering job with people, as I LOVE to talk to people listening to their stories and experiences they've made. But I'm also interested in farm work or any other kind of work where I can be outside and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Preferred location

Hey everyone, my name is Claudia and I'm a university students from Germany. During the semester holiday break I am planning on traveling through Spain and would very much like to work anywhere, preferably South/South East like Sevilla, Cordoba, Malaga, Valencia etc. I have worked internationally before and love to gain new experience while doing this volunteering in Spain.

Skills

I am a student of English Literature and Culture as well as Romanistics (Spanish Linguistics) and have a lot of knowledge regarding different cultures and societies as well as Literary Works and Authors. I've worked and still work in hospitality and thereby am familiar with food and beverage handling, bar work etc. I also used to work in an international motel as receptionist, kitchen hand, housekeeper and barista. While I lived in Australia for one year, I worked as an Aupair looking after four children and preparing dishes for them, helping them with their homework, driving them to afterschool activities and playing with them. I have experience with children aged 1-14 years. I am also an experienced swimmer and a very good driver (manual cars). I am very flexible, adaptable and don't mind working in heat, sun and humidity.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have allergies.

I am allergic to gluten and try to keep a gluten-free diet. I'm also a Type 1 Diabetic since I am 3 years old but know very well how to deal with that and am totally independent as I have an Insulin-Pump for many years.
