Description
Hello
I am Karin, a language and literature teacher (German and Spanish) in my mid 50s. Next year, I will have a sabbatical for professional development, during which I would like to learn English, because I completed my high school diploma including languages such as German, Spanish, French, Latin, and Ancient Greek – but without English. Then I lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for 13 years and danced Argentine folklore and tango professionally and I didn’t have any time to learn English. Dancing is still a hobby of mine to this day.
Now I live in Switzerland with my son and my partner, right on the banks of the Rhine, where I enjoy swimming every day. We have a large garden and grow our own vegetables. On top of that, we have 10 chickens.
I am communicative and enjoy meeting new people through interesting conversations.
I would find it really exciting to learn more about Maori culture.
I love nature and animals. That’s why I would like to have a job that involves working with animals and being outdoors. My favorite animals are dogs, horses, and alpacas. -
