Description
Hey!
My Name is Ester I am from Switzerland.
I work as a midwife in a hospital. I live with my two best friends in a little house in Winterthur next to Zurich. We do a lot of projects together and we love to spend our time outside. I grew up in the countryside, daughter of a carpenter, and we did almost everything by ourself.
I love to go on adventures. Most of the time I travel with my best friend Eva or my Boyfriend David. This trip I want to go by myself, with the goal to learn better English. That`s the reason, why I took the whole november off.
In the past I did several workaways, and I loved to learn different things, in different cultures, while spending time together. And I think it’s the best way to learn a language.
Things I love to do:
- Creativity: Knitting, painting, sewing, woodwork, clay
- Working: DIY, Gardening, woodwork, everything around the house.
- Outdoor: climbing, ski touring, hiking, running, canou, adventure
- Social work: as a nurse and a midwife
Countries I stayed for longer: Morocco, Norway, Sweden, India, Kirgizstan, Indonesia. For shorter a lot of countries in Europa, and I love to spend my holidays in Switzerland.
I am super happy with my experiences. Travelling is a gift. So I don’t have goals where I have to go. I go there where it makes sense and it feels right.
What I am looking for:
To join a project with (almost) native speaking english. I can spend one month to help you with your project. Or just a period of time. We can also see if it’s a match and decide spontaneously how long we will work together.
I can also imagine to go on an adventure with English speaking natives, for example for a climbing trip (but easy stuff, I am a beginner 😊- I love multi- pitch), Trekking, Canoeing etc.
I am very intrested, also to learn something new. So if you see potential or need my help or whatever goes through your mind. Don’t be shy to write me.
I would love to here from you.
