Description

Hiya!

My name is Anja. I grew up in Switzerland but spent the better part of my 20s in London (eight years to be exact—time flies!).

Maybe it's because I turned 30 or because eight years in London is a super long time for someone who loves the countryside, but I need a break. I'm leaving my flat at the end of September and am ready for an adventure!

What can I tell you about myself? Well, I speak German, French and English. I'm very active, and although I live in the city, I spend as much time in nature as possible. I like to go for hikes, walks, cartwheels and spins. I do a lot of Yoga (I did my teacher training back in 2019). And badminton! I recently tried bouldering, and it was a lot of fun. Anything that is active and isn't running.

I love animals. I'll stop and pet every cat I see on the street. Because of my work (I'm a freelance hair and makeup artist), I never got my own furry friend. I'm away from home too much, but I cat and dog sit as much as I can. As a kid, I used to spend a lot of time with horses and they still have a special place in my heart. Aren't they just the most beautiful animals?
I'm vegan and have been so for the last eight years.

As I mentioned above, my work as a hair and makeup artist pays the bills, but what I'm really passionate about is writing. I have a blog where I write, and I recently finished a draft of my first novel!

Before I moved to London, I volunteered for three months in South Africa, where I helped out at a school. This time around, I want to do something with animals, in nature, and help out wherever and however I can!

I have a daily meditation practice that I combine with Yoga. I had two accidents by the time I was 20 (I fell on my head twice) that left me with head and back pain. My practices help me with my pain. I even have days now where I'm almost pain-free! Also, this does not limit my work capacity whatsoever. Those practices are a big part of who I am, and I thought you should know. :)

Ah, it would probably be good to mention that I have a background in admin work (I used to work for an insurance company in Switzerland) and completed my diploma in accounting.

Alright, let me stop here. I look forward to connecting with you and hopefully spending time together. :)

Lots of love,
Anja
