Georga

Travel information

I am currently

Description

My name is Georga and I have recently quit my job in Australia, and bought a one-way ticket to Europe. I have the working holiday visa for Austria for a year from November 11th 2024. I have been to Austria a couple of times now, and love the mountains, culture and language- I have been learning German on and off throughout my schooling years but am yet to master it, so want to improve on it.
I grew up in a small country town west of Melbourne in Australia, and was always helping my dad in the garden and with jobs to renovate the house (painting, knocking down walls/kitchens, holding up things while he put them into place, etc.). I then moved to Melbourne to complete my studies in Anatomy. Although I am an anatomist by training, I am having a break to try new opportunities and travel after many years of study. Prior to, and during my studies, I volunteered for charity work, worked in hospitality, babysat, mentored students younger than me, taught anatomy, and did technician work in an anatomy laboratory- so am not shy of trying something new or of physically hard labour!
In my spare time I love to be in nature and go bike riding or hiking. I equally love spending time with friends/family, getting to know people, drawing and reading.

More details about your skills

I have 6 years experience in hospitality, working in front of house directly with customers, and back of house washing dishes and preparing food. During my studies I also worked as a babysitter for 5 years, looking after children aged 3-6, both with after school care and on the weekends, which included preparing meals and assisting the children with school homework.
I have a PhD in anatomy, and have 8 years experience with research and teaching anatomy, and technical work. I am therefore familiar with communicating with a large range of individuals with different backgrounds and experiences, and maintaining good practices with hygiene and OHS standards.

What else ...

I love trying new things, so always up for anything, especially if it’s in nature or something with a bit of competition (board games and the like).
