Description

Hi,
I am about to finish my German "Abitur" (equivalent to A-Levels). Afterwards, I want to see the world, experience new cultures and reconnect with nature. I want to meet new people and challenge myself to leave my comfort zone and the hamster wheel I am currently living in and finally do something not set by school. I look forward to finding new friendships, learning new languages and life skills, hiking in nature, and being creative!

More details about your skills

I speak German (native language) and English fluently (C1 Cambridge Certificate), French on an intermediate Level (DELF Certificate B1) and I am learning Swedish (beginner).
I have a cat, have always been around dogs of family members and would call myself an animal lover. I have been riding horses since I was around 4 years old on a non-professional and not competitive level and am used to taking care of them, grooming, cleaning stables and of course riding/handling the horses themselves.
I have tutored children in English and Math and have participated in a babysitting course.
I also have a drivers license (B) and soon will finish my A-Levels (in Germany "Abitur").
Playing the guitar, singing in a choir, baking, acting, painting, and photographing — I would consider myself a creative person. I enjoy being in nature and to dance, do yoga or make music.
I would describe myself as communicative and very empathetic and I really enjoy late-night talking and exchanging experiences and perspectives.

What else ...

I love to hike and swim in lakes. I am a nature and animal lover and I am looking forward to connecting to nature instead of being stuck in my current everyday life.
Furthermore, I really enjoy baking and cooking.
I have acted in a movie directed by a friend and also did drama in school, because I really enjoy portraying characters and working together as a group on projects such as a play. I also participated in a musical with my choir, where I was acting and singing.
I am really creative. I love to DIY and draw or paint. But currently I also try other art forms, such as photography, making short films (documenting my life), and writing poetry. I also love board games, for example, "Siedler von Catan" (a German board game).
Lastly, I really want to get more active in feminism and climate activism in the future.
