  • Description

    Hi,

    I am from Austria (Vienna) and I love traveling and getting to know different cultures and lifestyles. I studied law in Vienna and I am working as a legal advisor for refugees in Vienna. At the moment I am taking a gap year to learn French and to hopefully speak it fluently in a year. I am 35 years old and a very open-minded and interested person with a positive mindset. I do not only love traveling but also studying and working abroad. I studied in Amsterdam and Edinburgh apart from Vienna and also moved abroad for internships in Croatia and Mauritius. At the moment I am very much looking forward to my gap year in France and hope to meet many lovely people and to learn the language quickly.

    I would love to work as an au pair with a French family because I also love children a lot. I especially like seeing the world through the eyes of a child and to entertain kids as well as to teach them and of course to laugh with them. As a volunteer for Amnesty International I was teaching school kids in Vienna in the subjects of human rights law. From time to time I am also watching over my cousins child who is now one and a half years old.

    I am also an animal lover and especially adore dogs as well as cats. I am a vegetarian and not smoking.

    For my hobbies, I like dancing and singing and jogging as well as Yoga and playing beach volleyball and going for hikes in the nature.

    I am looking forward to getting to know you.

From time to time I am also watching over my cousins child who is now one and a half years old. Whenever I am visiting my friends who have kids, I also like playing with them and entertaining them. I also used to teach minor refugees in German, English and Maths after their school. And in my job as a legal advisor for refugees I am also specialized in the work with unaccompanied minor refugees.

    I am also an animal lover and especially adore dogs as well as cats. Since a year I am voluntarily dog sitting for a greyhound mix who is a street-dog from Sri Lanka.

    In general I am a very open-minded and interested person with a positive mindset.
