Description

I’m a Swiss-born, Swedish creative who has spent the last few years studying graphic design and communication in Stockholm. (Dual citizen)

Growing up in an international school in Switzerland, I’m fluent in German, Swedish, and English, and speak Swiss dialect and a little French. I’d like to improve my French, and get away from the world to connect with other people and places.

My big passions in life are history, art, and literature. Basically anything to do with culture and anthropology! I love writing, and talking, and listening. I need some alone time in order to function, because when I’m around other people I can’t help but be my usual chatty self.

As is common in your mid-twenties, I feel a little lost in life, not knowing in which direction to go. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I want to try as many things as possible while I’m young and healthy. I look forward to meeting you!

More details about your skills

I’m a practical soul, very much an eldest daughter to my core. I’m well organized, very neat and clean, and am always very clear with my needs.

I grew up in a large house, and have spent a big portion of my childhood helping my father with maintenance, or my mother in the garden.
I’m definitely not a professional gardener nor carpenter, but based on the way I see my peers hanging up picture frames (with tape), or painting their walls (without tape), I’d say I’m above-average-handy with a large dose of common sense. I’m a quick learner and great problem solver.

Age

24

What else ...

I've worked in childcare (ages 1-13) from the time I was fifteen. As a babysitter, as a language/arts tutor, and as a teachers assistant.

I’m an efficient person, who’s quite good at handiwork. I can not sew, but I can crochet, I have some woodworking experience, a lot of painting and decorating experience, some gardening. I've done pottery and sculpting, acrylic painting, drawing, and musical theater all my life.

I’m not extremely athletic, but I adore taking long walks and exploring new places. I am very well traveled, and as aforementioned have a great interest in culture.

I’ve worked in the service industry as a server, and also as a project manager, a graphic designer, a copywriter, and branding specialist. I’d like to spend some time expanding my arts portfolio and maybe improve my french.
