Activities i am interested in:
Hii I'm Leticia, I've just graduated from high school and have been dreaming of a trip to Australia for a long time. I would love to meet someone who would join my journey
Description
I am Leticia I am 18 years old and I live with my parents, my little brother (15), our dog Charlie and our cat Joy in a small village in the south of Austria, right next to a lake in the mountains.
I have just finished school and now I can't wait to explore the world and broaden my horizons. It's my first time as a workawayer and my goal is to gain new professional skills, experience other cultures first hand, meet new people from different countries and help other people as much as I can in as many areas as possible. I am a communicative and open person, I am always up for extraordinary experiences and I am adaptable and flexible. In my free time I enjoy horseback riding, hiking and playing with my dog. In winter I love skiing and in summer I enjoy swimming in the lake and playing beach volleyball. I also sing in a choir and love reading books.Interests

More details about your skills
Working with children and animals is a particularly important part of my life. I have been babysitting regularly since I was 12 years old, did an internship in a kindergarten two years ago and have already worked at riding stables several times during my summer vacations, giving riding lessons to children. But I didn't just give riding lessons there, but also mucked out stalls, fed the horses and cleaned the stables. Last year I also completed my ski instructor training and have already enjoyed working as a ski instructor.
As I grew up in a village where tourism plays a major role, I also have experience in waitressing and sales. I am currently working on a boat for the second time over the summer, serving drinks and selling tickets. Last year during my summer vacation, I worked in my parents fish store where I processed fish into spreads for example and sold them. A small part of my job was to document scientific data about fish and crabs and to accompany my dad (he is a scientist) in his research and do the record keeping.
Also my family rents out apartments, which I help clean up from time to time.
Due to my education in a school with a focus on art, I also have a little bit of experience with photography and drawing.Age
