More details about your skills

Currently, I am studying psychology, neuroscience and linguistics at the university of Bern, Switzerland. I have been volunteering for several years for the Youth Red Cross Switzerland, where I cared for senior citizens and organized sports events with and for refugees. Additionally, I teach german to a group of refugees and help them with homework, letters of application, flat-hunting etc.
I used to babysit when I was younger and did an apprenticeship in a nursery, so I have experience in working with children.
One summer, I worked on a farm in the Swiss Alps, where I gained hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture and learned to care for various animals, including cows, goats, pigs, and chickens. I also did a Workaway with a wonderful family near Barcelona, who introduced me to permaculture, carpentry, unschooling, and many valuable life lessons. Another summer, I worked in the kitchen of a beachside restaurant in Italy, which helped me refine my cooking skills and gave me meaningful insight into the fast-paced environment of a professional kitchen. Additionally, I volunteered at a hostel along the Italian pilgrim’s route, where I helped care for guests, prepared meals, and organized a variety of community events.
I speak five languages and I'm always looking for opportunities to improve my communication skills. In general, I am a fast learner and I'm very motivated to learn as many differents things as possible!

We love Anja! Anja was a wonderful volunteer and houseguest!

They always have different projects going on, so work is very varied and you can learn many different things. Betsey explains everything and answers all your questions patiently. Workhours are … read more
