Description

Hi I’m Jakob, 19, and I recently finished school. I enjoy trying new things, learning, and challenging myself. In my free time, I like swimming, weightlifting, calisthenics, and playing the saxophone. I was also a member of my school band and performed in several concerts.

During the summer, I work as a lifeguard on the coast. I enjoy meeting new people, which is one of the reasons I want to do Workaway—to connect with locals and experience different cultures.

I’ve also taken part in some short student exchange programs in the USA and Spain. These experiences strengthened my passion for travelling and discovering new places.

I’m currently working in an international Pharmaceutical firm and I have done a few building projects like for example I have built a shed with my grandfather and I have Renovated a few places with some family members.
Now I want to travel to see new things.

More details about your skills

Right now, I have a mini-job as a cashier at a DIY store. I also had some other mini-jobs before. I know how to cook basic meals and how to fish, and I’d say my biggest strengths are staying motivated and being open to learning new things. Sports like swimming, weightlifting, and calisthenics have taught me discipline and patience.
I have a Cambridge C1 Certificate and know the basics of how to code in Python.

After graduating, I will begin a new chapter in life, and I look forward to embrace it through the opportunity to explore new places, experience different cultures, and connect with people from around the world.
