More details about your skills

Overall I would say I am pretty adaptable. I am pretty social and really enjoy working and spending time together with other people. I enjoy all kinds of activities especially with people and/or outside in nature. During my university studies the last years I worked in a Japanese restaurant as a cook/ kitchen assistant which was a lot of fun and I really enjoy cooking at home. In my last year of high school I worked in a nursing home for people with dementia. I did household tasks and assisted the nurses. This was a great learning excercise for me in terms of teamwork and responsability.

I am really passionate about learning. Especially regarding different cultures, geography, history, and languages. I learned a couple languages by myself already and I really enjoy teaching what I know, as well as learning from other people.

Jakob spent about 2 months in our community. These 2 months coincided with the harvest and settlement, in which Jakob provided us with invaluable assistance. He is a very hardworking, kind-hearted, and highly responsible person. He very quickly became a member of our community.
We wish Jakob success and highly recommend him.
