Preferred location

From August 2021 on I’ll travel Africa and hope to make a lot of new experiences since I’ve never been on this continent.
I'm open-minded and like to help wherever necessary (hospitality, permaculture, childcare, construction, development instructions...) don't hesitate to ask.

Skills

I grew up in a gardening family so I have an idea about sowing and planting and know how to use hammers and nails. My 9 years as a hairdresser do not have any skills that can be used. But the 9 years in hotels and restaurants in Switzerland, 6 months at the Richmond Vale Academy in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 6 months in Belize as a development worker, 6 months in Gran Canaria as a hostel manager or my time in a children's camp in Finland could be more helpful.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am a vegetarian and I have no allergies.

People would say I'm a calm, respectful, humble, patient, polite, and sometimes a little introverted person. I like building things (even if I'm not a genius at it), creating something new, but I LOVE spending time with children even more. My goal is to see the world and learn from everyone I meet so that one day I can start my own project. I've worked and lived in Switzerland and found that the capitalist world doesn't make me happy at all. Since then, I've been trying to find a way to live a more satisfying life and leave the world better than I found it. I am an easygoing vegan, don't need any special ingredients (no fish, egg, milk, butter, honey, meat...), don't use any kind of drugs, don't drink alcohol and am happy to learn about new cultures and lifestyles.
