  • Description

    When I was 13, I visited Ireland for a three-week vacation and absolutely fell in love with the country, the people, and the culture. Since then, I have always wanted to move there and have returned a couple of times for short vacations. I had planned everything for after my A-levels, but sadly my mother fell ill, so I decided to stay in Germany and start an apprenticeship in federal office administration because it felt like a safe choice. After completing my apprenticeship, I began working there and quickly realized that this wasn’t the job I wanted to do.

    This February, the chemotherapy finally worked, and my mum got better. After many deep conversations with her about dreams, happiness, and the future, I decided to quit my unfulfilling job and take the leap into another adventure.

    My flight to Dublin is booked for the 13th of January, and if my plans work out the way I hope, I will start studying at Galway University in September. I am really grateful to be able to embark on this journey, even though it’s financially challenging.

    I am a calm, open-minded, and easy-going person. I love long conversations about all sorts of topics over a cup of tea or a glass of red wine. I enjoy long walks and hikes in nature, regardless of whether it’s sunny, rainy, or windy.

    I consider myself a fast learner who likes to try out new things and develop new skills and knowledge. I’m always happy to lend a hand—whether it’s in the garden, around the house, or with animals or kids. I grew up in a small town in Germany with a big family and plenty of animals, so I’m used to helping out with children, animals, and various household and gardening tasks.

    I would love to get to know the real Ireland and look forward to getting in contact with you!

  • More details about your skills

    I enjoy getting my hands dirty and helping out wherever I’m needed. I have a genuine love for spending time with animals and children and bring plenty of experience in both areas. Growing up in a large family surrounded by farm animals provided me with invaluable skills and a strong work ethic. In addition, I dedicate much of my free time to volunteering at the local animal shelter, which has further deepened my passion and hands-on experience with animals.

    I used to go horseback riding when I was still living at home with my parents. I would love to pick that up again!
    I'm also looking forward to go hiking and explore the beautiful country of Ireland.
