Hey there!
I’m Maria, 18 years old and currently doing Work & Travel in Canada. I’m from a small town in western Germany and just finished school this year.
Now I’m taking a gap year to explore Canada, meet new people, and enjoy some adventure.
I’m a cheerful, open-minded person who loves being outdoors and discovering new places.
I’m always curious to learn about different cultures and love hearing people’s stories.Interests

More details about your skills
I’d describe myself as a friendly and open-minded person who’s always up for something new. I love meeting people from different backgrounds and enjoy working in a team but I’m also totally fine handling things on my own.
Since starting my Work & Travel journey, I’ve become even more flexible, independent, and good at finding solutions when things don’t go as planned (which happens a lot when you travel 😄). I’m reliable, always ready to learn, and I try to bring positive energy wherever I go.
I genuinely enjoy helping others, being organized and adapting to new environments quickly. Whether it’s a new job, a new place, or new people I’m curious and excited to dive in!
I can speak German and Russian fluently, as I’m half German and half Russian. My English is on a good level, and I’m always working to improve it :)
I’m also really good with kids, since I’ve spent lots of time babysitting my nieces and cousins and I actually really enjoy it!!Age
