  • Description

    Hi! My name is Christophe and I'm from Murten in the beautiful Canton of Fribourg in Switzerland. I'm a part-time radio & newspaper journalist and currently studying to become a Secondary School teacher (subjects: German, English, Geography & History, Ethics & Religions). In my free time, I play the bodhran in various Irish Folk bands and love to do some running or biking. I'm looking for a 60 day stay abroad for my studies. I would love to work in an English-speaking country (preferably Ireland or Scotland) during the summer months (mid-July to mid-September) to hone my English skills. I'm open to acquire some new skills, while already having some experience in outdoor work (f.e. weeding on a large scale in the forest).

    If a local Irish session is located nearby, I would occasionally drop in for some tunes. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to get to know my host and fellow Workawayers!
