Description
Hello I'm Kim
After high school I took a gap year to learn more about other cultures and get to know new inspiring people. Among other places that I got to spend time at I stayed for half a year in Toronto where I shared an apartment with friends which helped me to become more independant.
I dedicate a lot of time to languages and reading. Other hobbys of mine are photography, music (I play the Keyboard since 12 years) and sports. Mainly I do swimming and running but I'm always up to try out new activites.
As having grown up in a little town in Switzerland I love nature and am used to rural life.
These days I live in Zurich, Switzerland and study at university. Last year I did an exchange semster in Rome.
I would consider myself as an open-minded, easy-going person that is eager to travel to new places and connect with the people there.
Past workaways:
1 month on a farm with sheep and bees in the French part of Switzerland
3 weeks of training horses, construction work and summer camp kids in Southern Hungary
