Description

I see the positive and the light in everything. My friends say that I am very open-minded. Happiness is, for me, the meaning of life. Laughter is what gets me up every day.

My family means the world to me; we are eight grandchildren, of whom I am the oldest. So I have always been surrounded by small children who fill me with joy. Through this, I started to take on responsibility at an early age and want to become a teacher soon. I am very interested in politics, both on an international and regional level, and I want to understand how the world works

I love my language (German) and write a lot - diaries, poems, poetry slams. But I also think other languages are extremely interesting and am always fascinated by how well we can communicate in English around the world. Additionally, I enjoy traveling and learning about new cultures, which is what brought me to this page. What makes me especially happy about this is meeting so many unique people. It does me good to leave my small rural village and come into the big wide world, and to suddenly talk to people from nations that you usually only see in the news, who turn out to be lifelong friends.

I love being active. Gardening, spending time with family, singing, dancing, cycling, exercising in general. Music fulfills me; I have many cassettes and records that I listen to in every free minute.

My family has a farm, where I just worked for two months. Working there makes me very happy - interacting with customers, harvesting and sorting potatoes, tending vegetables, spending a lot of time with the animals, and having a structured daily routine, even though the days there are very long.

In addition, I really enjoy reading and love movies. But no movie or book could ever be so good that I would trade it for a bike tour or a spontaneous swim in the lake. Real life happens outdoors. My motto is: "Do something every day that you have never done before in your life." And that is how I have been living for several years. There is always something new that life has in store for us.

More details about your skills

Regarding my skills, I like to be very versatile. I worked at a farm, where a different task awaited me every day. I have already helped deliver calves, harvest potatoes from the field, and sort them. I often also prepare lunch for the employees and sell our vegetables to customers. This has made me very skilled at talking to strangers. The physical demands on the farm are often tough, but it is still a lot of fun for me.

In addition, I have worked in a café, gaining experience in customer service. When we moved, I helped renovate the house, paint, and build furniture. I am also frequently busy in our garden.

I provide tutoring and particularly enjoy learning math with children. However, I also love teaching German, French or English. Working with children makes me very happy; I love the lightness and joy that children radiate.

Thanks to my large family, I have already gained a lot of experience with children and have had the opportunity to engage with different age groups. Next year, I will study sports, philosophy, and mathematics to become a teacher. Doing sports with children is also a lot of fun for me.

I enjoy helping around the house, especially in the kitchen or with the laundry. Card games are part of a pleasant evening for me, and I can teach you many games and card tricks! I also like being creative, whether painting or writing poems. I enjoy engaging both body and mind. We have dogs and cats at home and a lot of cows and chickens on the farm, which I do take care of.

I am hardworking, organized and especially open to learn new skills and taking on special challenges and tasks.
