Hej hej! Name's Anna and I'm on a Work n' Holiday Visa traveling through NZ with my van. I enjoy hiking, swimming and all kinds of fun stuff. Feel like chatting? - Just hit me up :)

Description

After working an office job for a couple of years, I'd like to experience work beyond the desk and discover new opportunities to reinvent myself. What inspired me was a 2 month job exchange in Stockholm.
My journey to New Zealand was intrigued by its vast landscapes and diverse nature. For my Work n' Travel I hope to adventure all of the island different regions and places.

I'm an open-minded person who sees each task as a new and exciting challenge. I'm a quick learner, highly motivated and always eager to fulfill each job to the absolute best of my performance.

I've just recently worked on a dairy farm for a month and gathered new knowledge and skills about farmwork and animal wellfare, which I'd be glad to further improve on.

More details about your skills

Creativity: I enjoy doing creative work of all kinds and am especially passionate about crafting new ideas, drawing and designing.
Physicality: On the opposite I'm also capable of handling harder work that involves physical strength.Thanks to my previous swim club activity and farmwork I've build up some good stamina.
Petsitting: I grew up always having a dog around, so I know a few things about their behavior, feeding and keeping them busy, active and happy. I've also recently lived together with a cat which made become familiar around them as well. But overall I love every animal alike so I'm happy to work wherever there's help needed.
Babysitting: Though not professionally, I do had my fair share of keeping watch on my little cousins. If the opportunity arrives I would very much like to improve my skills with the kids.
Farmwork: I've worked on a dairy farm for a month and have come acquainted with work on a farm and animals, which I'm also eager to further improve on.
Language: I'm confident in my language skills and would consider myself fluent in both English and German, as well as some French, Russian and Swedish.
Computers: I grew up around computers my entire life and therefore know my way around them. I'm also a highly motivated problem fixer and eager to investigate technical issues.
Performance: I've got an eye for detail and am also highly empathetic. I'm used to perform well even under high pressure as well as managing and organizing multiple tasks. Last but not least I'm easy to communicate with and good at approaching people.

What else ...

In my free time I like to play video games and watch all kinds of shows. I enjoy a wide spectrum of genres, so there's definitely going to be at least one to chat about with me. Though I tend to lack focus I'm quite decent in drawing and love to draw characters or create stories.
Though eating good food is obviously a lot better I also really enjoy cooking together. I like trying out new recipes with my friends and am always eager to enhance my culinary knowledge.
I'm not the most sporty person but I learned to swim and ski before I could even ride a bike so those would be my most favorite activities as well as hiking. I once hiked up a pretty high trail with just my sandals, as you can see in one of my photos. Both the sandals and my feet have survived.
I also love my dog who I spent time together venturing through our nearby forest on long walks.
