Description

Over the course of 5 years I worked at the University of Zurich, n Science Communication. Before completing my studies I worked for about 10 years in gastronomy. That's when I learned to talk to customers, to communicate with people that do not speak the same language as me and to live on a small budget - skills that I appreciate now.

Maybe you are familiar with people that stand around until you tell them what work needs to be done.. I'm the other way around.. I see what is left to do and I don't mind to do it. Even in my free time, people are always so shocked when I tell them what I did during the day, the overwhelmed by the amount.

I'm a person easily excited about new things. I'm curious, I like to ask questions and acquire new skills. I have my little projects that I take care of, in a very reliable way and I love to help friends, family and foreigners whenever I can.

When I travel, I want to be a part of the society of the country I'm visiting or in other words get close to people's lives in other parts of the world.

One of my passions is dancing. Especially dancing salsa and bachata.

I enjoy to relax and chill. I'm a very easy-going person, that can talk with anyone, about anything. I like to give every person a chance, without making any pre-assumptions. I'm open to new people that have a different perspective in life. One can learn so much . Also people tend to describe me as "cool", whatever is supposed to be meant by that haha.

About my volunteering activity, I volunteered in different student organisations. I organised with 13 other students a 4-days event in the mountains with 400 participants. I also brew beer in a brewing association, from Lager, Amber, IPA, Porter, Stout... everything. I was the head of the brew-tasting event, so I can talk a lot about beer :)

I also volunteered at a lot of music festivals, where I learned to build up stages. This I enjoyed a lot as it combines my two passions, music and helping.

When I travelled in South America, I worked for 6 weeks in a hostel in Medellin, Colombia and 2 weeks in Bocas del Toro Panamá, 2 weeks in Palomino, 2 weeks in a coffee farm close to Finlandia, Colombia, and probably I forgot some volunteering acitivites.

I'm also a Yoga teacher :)
