Description
Hola/Hi/Cheers
my name is Emma and I am 24 years old.
After finishing my degree in applied pharmaceutical sciences I decided to learn Spanish and am currently traveling around Southamerica.
I am a very easy going and laid back person but I do take responsibilities seriously and will always try my best to fulfill the duties I am given. I love the beach life and I love surfing athough I am quite bad and would like to improve.
I already have quite a bit of experience backpacking and doing workaway like jobs (I used different but similar websites in different countries) and I really miss that lifestyle.
After I finished highschool I spent two years travelling around New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Israel. During those years I worked in construction, as a waitress, as a nanny, worked with horses and I also spent 4 months at a workaway job in a Hostel in Australia. My tasks there included reception duties like handling bookings, greeting guest and showing them around, cleaning and gardening tasks and much more. (I have references available). I am also experienced in working with animals as I used to give riding lessons and train young horses. Currently I am volunteering in a local shelter mainly caring for dogs.

More details about your skills
I am a highly reliable, kind, easy going but hard working person and always happy to get the chance to learn. I am selfmotivated, able to work on my own as well as in a team and fluent in English and German with good communication skills. I have an intermediate level of Spanish and would love to improve during my time in South America. I love being outside and I don't mind getting my hands dirty.
I am experienced in working with horses and dogs as I spend most of my spare time at a riding stable for the last nine years where I also trained young horses and competed in dressage. During my time travelling in New Zealand, Australia and Israel I was able to try out many different jobs like waitressing, babysitting farmwork and many more.
I enjoy getting to know diffrent lifestyles and cultures and love meeting new people.
