Hey, Hallo, Yahho! 25 y.o. German girl studying full time in Nagoya, Japan.

Description

Hey! I am Diana, a 25-year old German who is currently studying the Humanities at Nagoya University in Japan. Most people would probably describe me as emphatic, reliable and creative. 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 side jobs, everything from call center, café waitress, insurance office to pottery studio. Also I've done workaway projects that involved cleaning, weeding, gardening and caring for animals (I know how to milk a goat! :D) My last job 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! :)

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, swim or take walks. But I also love to spend days inside, to cook, bake or to invite friends over.
