Description

I'm a very friendly and outgoing person. I like it to have contact with other people from all parts of the world, and discuss about the different cultur we have. I'm interested in all kind of cultur and how other people live in their countries. Further I love it to travel and visit other countries. When I have the possibility, I would like to discover every place on every continent. :)
That is the reason, I studied Tourism at the "International school of tourism" in Zürich, Switzerland. 2018 I finished it.


Work experience:

I did the primary school, the secondery school and then 3 years in a pedagogicsschool.
After that, I did the civilian service in 5 different places. 2 month in a youth hostel in Scuol, der in den (Switzerland), totally 9 months in 3 different homes for the eldery and 2 months in a workshop for disabled people.

And since I finished my studies, I worked in severel countries in the Tourism sector:

- 6 months internship by Hurtigruten in Hamburg (Germany)
- 6 months by a RV Rental company in Vancouver (Canada)
- 12 months as a guest represantor in Äkäslompolo (Finnland)
- 3 months at the skilifts in Lech am Arlberg (Austria)
- 5 weeks Workaway at the Duet Hostel in Karakol (Kyrgyzstan)
- 7 months as a guest represantor at the Lofoten (Norway)

Beside the working I am travelling a lot.

I really like sports, I'm running a lot, and one day, I want to reach the marathon. But also other sports, such football, volleyball or cycling I like. Every time, when I'm going to Basel (10km away), I'm going with the bicycle. It's cool to be in the nature.

More details about your skills

I have some experience with children, I had a sportgroup of boys, those who I trained in different sports. Further I was 2 weeks in a primary class to teach them. I think, It is great to work with children, because they give so much back.
I worked sometimes as waiter, but more in a small, friendly atmosphere.
I like to bake sweet things, and try new cakes, cupcakes and cookies and then I like it more to eat them.
And this small skills I can do too: juggling with 3 balls, some card tricks, Jass (An Swiss cardgame), ...
