  • Description

    I'm a 20 year old female currently doing a gap year. I've always loved traveling - I even went to study abroad for 1 year when I was only 16 years old.

    Some of my favourite things are music (I play the guitar and sing), working out (running, pilates, ...) and maths. I'm generally a very curious person and I'd love to learn some new things! I'm also really interested in languages: I'm fluent in (Swiss) German, English and Korean and I've also studied French and Russian in school. Some of my other hobbies include cooking, baking and photography. I'm still learning but I'd say that I'm a pretty good chef (I even made my own cookbook once), so if you ever need someone to prepare a comforting meal for you and your family - I'm your person :)

  • More details about your skills

    I have experience working with animals, namely with horses. My family used to own two shetland ponies and I used to look after them - groom them, clean the stables, train them and so on. We sadly had to sell the ponies, but I continued horseback riding. I started riding Icelandic horses and later looked after another horse as well, so if you need someone to look after your horses or animals in general - I'm your person :)

    I also have experience working with costumers and I'm really interested in learning more about it. I worked in sales once and I'm thinking of studying hospitality management at university, so I'd really love the opportunity to gain more experience and knowledge working in the hospitality industry. My dream would be to help out in a small bed & breakfast or café :)

    I've participated in cooking workshops as well. Whilst I don't have any professional experience cooking for guests or families, cooking is something I've been doing for a long time and I'd love the opportunity to help out in a kitchen, preparing meals for guests or your family. This year I'm also working on my own cookbook, so if you'd like someone to cook new dishes for you or your guests I think I'd be a pretty good fit :)
