Description
I enjoy travelling and exploring new places, cultures and languages a lot, which is why I like to travel around and spend some time in another country or place in order to learn something new - ideally some of the local language as well - and broaden my horizon.

Swedish: BeginnerMore details about my language interests
I am interested in a lot of languages, which is why I have started learning many of them, some I have listed others not yet. My best languages are English, German and Finnish because I am able to use them in every day life well. French is good as well, but I do require more practical experience in order to be fluent. Swedish, Norwegian and Dutch are easy languages to learn for me but like with French I need practical experience before being able to say that I speak them well. Moreover, I am interested in learning Mandarin, Korean, Hungarian and Russian - already do know some words, rules and basics of them but would not be able to hold an actual conversation in them yet.

More details about your skills
I have been studying tourism and hospitality management in Lapland (Finland) for nearly 3 years now. My work experience includes being an Au Pair for 1 year, being a waitress both in Germany and Finland, helping out with all tasks (apart from cooking) in a Vietnamese restaurant and my most recent experience (an internship abroad completed for my university) was first being a Receptionist and then a Duty Manager in a hostel in central London (total duration 6 months).

What else ...
I also enjoy playing board/card games (for example ticket to ride), socializing with people from all over the world, learning about differences and similarities. But in general I would say that I am pretty open minded and do not have certain expectations to a new place but rather take it as it is and adapt to it. So I'd say I'm pretty open minded and adaptable.

Feedback
Initially, I came to this project to learn something about teaching, working with children and broaden my horizon in regards of self development and self presentation in front of people and I can say that my expectations were exceeded even beyond the project’s “borders”! I learned a lot, got hands on… read more
