Team Munich
our crazy staff
Well, that’s the whole wombunch chilling in our favourite spot of wombats: the winter garden! (Some bad apples might say that it’s the bar but that’s SO not true! At least if there’s still some beer left in our glasses…). Too bad that’s it’s not our real workstation. We’re strewn over the reception, the bar and the barren wastelands of the back office. And of course there are some poor buggers who have to clean up the mess day after day after day…
Most of our staff are students who love to travel all over this little blue planet “in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy”. Like you!
So they know exactly what it’s like to fall off the night train and crawl into a hostel, desperately searching for a bed in a seemingly nutty town.
Doesn’t matter if you’re old or young, tall or small, sane or mad:
All of you are most welcome!
…as long as you strip your f***ing bed yourselves. :-)
But with the words of THE most important guide book in all history:
DON’T PANIC
SASKIA
Hey guys, I am Saskia,
Wombats Munich is a bit like my baby as I work here since the very beginning .
I love being around and working with young people from all over the world.
My mission is that all our ships sail in the same direction :-)
I love living in Munich because of its great beer gardens, surroundings like the lakes and the mountains. You find something to do here in any season!
IRIS
Hello world!
I’d love getting connected with you!
I am Iris and also working as one of the managers here in Munich. Together with some other rare species I am working here since the opening in September 2004. First I started as a receptionist and after a few months changed to the office and that’s where I am still today...
With a diploma in geography the deep love for travelling around the world, seeing different landscapes, learning about other cultures and getting to know new people is really in my heart! My last “big” trip was to the east and south coast of Australia which was really fantastic!! I’ve also been to Mexico, the US, South Africa and Thailand and quite a few destinations in Europe... Right now I am “only” exploring spots in closer Europe as I have a little son who is not too keen on sitting still for hours in a plane or car… But in the next years I’d love to go about new destinations again! So if there’s something I definitely need to see please let me know!
TORSTEN
Hey folks!
My name is Torsten but friends and foreigners who can’t pronounce it may call me To.
My story is a typical student’s tale:
I began to study, started working at Wombats in 2004 as a night shifter at reception, fell in love with it, finished studying, didn’t give a damn about that fact and continued at Wombats.
So actually I’m a sports therapist, yoga teacher and alternative practitioner but what the hell. Sometimes you may also see me riding my cute rickshaw through the inner city.
Meanwhile I changed to the back office because I couldn’t stand it anymore being at the front desk, raging with jealousy by the look of happy people with backpacks cruising around. ;-)
Meaning I’m addicted to travelling myself and praise the Flying Spaghetti-Monster that Wombats allows me to sneak away to any corner of this mad world every now and then.
I love hiking - especially in the mountains - so all you guys from Nepal: Beware!
When I’m not out and about you can meet me at our beautiful Isar river at one of the myriads of campfires, a Käsekrainer in one hand and a cool Augustiner beer in the other, relaxing with some good people.
Apart from 42 that’s my meaning of life.
“Now. Bring me that horizon!”
