Description
My name is Mey, I'm 18 years old, I just finished highschool and now I'm doing a gap year before I go to university. I moved out of my childhood home summer 2023 and am currently working as a barista in a little coffe shop/bakery. Anyhow a friend of mine told me about workaway last year and since then I was convinced that I would want to do a gap year and visit another country for a couple of months. I've been looking forward to travelling since then. I'm sure it's going to be a challenge but I'm very excited to make some new experiences and to get to know a new country, with it's culture and nature, that's far away from home, since I've lived in the same city my whole life. I really enjoy Art like crochet, pottery, drawing and painting aswelll as cooking. I also like Sports e.g. weightlifting pilates or yoga and also Meditation. I also enjoy hiking and exploring nature.
Hey there:)
My name is Larissa and just like Mey I graduated from high school and got my finals last year. I have been painting, designing a building since I was little, so I'm very good at that. I also attended a high school with focus on sports which I am also talented in and enjoy because it gives me adrenalin. But I also like to cook and bake. Now I am doing a gap year and I am working as a swimming coach for little children that I really enjoy. But my main goal during this time is to make as many experiences as possible in other countrys. I would like to see continents other than europe and travel these with my friend. :)Interests

We‘re both very creative and like to draw, paint and design. We also enjoy to learn new languages, we both learned Spanish in high school and we both speak english fluently. We love to keep our surroundings tidy and organized. Apart from that we are pretty good at adapting to new situations. Nevertheless we are very passionate about cooking and what we fuel our body with. We adore animals and are really good at taking care of them. We are also selfsufficient.
I (Mey) really like to crochet aswell as doing makramee and pottery. Other than that I‘m also passionate about decorating, photography, social media and upcycling all kinds of things when I see something old that’s of no use anymore I most of the time find something I can make out of it. I am also pretty outgoing, I enjoy talking to people and make new friends. Adding to that I always try to make people comfortable and included. Because my heart really beats for animals I also started my vegetarian/vegan journey, especially when it comes to cooking. I’m not a certified dietitian or personal trainer but since I stopped eating meat and started weightlifting and going to the gym frequently I started to really get into those topics meaning eating more healthy and fuel my body with nourishing foods aswell as create my own training schedule so I always love to share my knowledge on these topics too. (Ps. i‘m a perfectionist: idk if that’s a plus or minus, it can be annoying sometimes because I take longer for a task but if I do something I want it to be perfect)
I (Larissa) am really passionate about moving my body, you can always count on me whit activities that include sports like swimmimg, windsailing climbing. According to that i'm really the opposite of lazy when a job needs to get done. As i've already had 2 jobs that include children, I'm pretty experienced and enjoy spending time with them. At first sight I might seem not as open as my friend Mey. But if I get to know people better I get more and more extroverted. I also really enjoy beeing in the nature because it motivates me even more to do tasks while beeing outside.Age
