Description
UPDATE 08/11

I am back in Switzerland enjoying family, mountain views and fall colours.

I decided to go volunteering in Switzerland and get to know more regions of this beautiful country.

--------------------------

Welcome,

My name is Roger. I'm a 33 year old guy from Switzerland.

Right now I am discovering the north of Germany and Denmark. I d like to see these flat and windy lands, meet locals and learn something interesting. Besides that I work as an online language teacher for german and english.

Last year I worked and lived in Italy in a meditation resort.
Before that I was working in Budapest as receptionist, german teacher and call center agent.

In Switzerland I worked as a carer and in gastronomy.
I speak German, French, Spanish and English.

I do like exploring the area and getting to know the history of a place. Many times I cook for friends, family and neighbours. If you like chocolate I ll make a chocolate fondue for you.

I dont mind special shifts, weekend shifts or double shifts.

I hope to get to know you in a video-call.

Roger stayed with me for a week and painted indoor walls. He did a great job and I'm really pleased and grateful for his lovely work. Roger is a very friendly and easy going person who's comfortable to be around. My best recommendations.

Roger is highly productive person. He did any duties that we asked him in the most precise way. He helped clean the stables, sweeping the alley from the pine needles; he pruned the cypresses and the arena’s hedge, and sanded tables in a very professional way.
He was excellent with the dogs, making sure he would find some time each day to take them… read more

loved it, loved every day of it

the hostel is charmingly small with a wonderful vibe, the location is pure genius: 50m away 24/7 tramline connects you with the whole city, 20m away a pedestrian walking zone with many cafes, restaurant, bars and an almost italian flair, many locals, students and some tourists give a good mix, about 5 walk minutes… read more
