Description
Wir sind in der Schweiz aufgewachsen, waren bis jetzt oft in Europa, Afrika und Amerika unterwegs und freuen uns nun, Asien näher kennenzulernen. Wir sind beide sehr aufgeschlossene, bescheidene Personen und lieben den Austausch mit Menschen. Ich lebte und arbeitete während den letzten Jahren als Rezeptionistin in Zermatt, einer der bekanntesten Touri-Orte der Schweiz. Simon war bereits zwei Mal in Afrika als Volunteer tätig und arbeitet in der Schweiz als Metallbauer. Wir möchten Menschen unterstützen, Kulturen näher kennenlernen und viele unvergessliche Erinnerungen sammeln, weshalb wir uns auf dieser Plattform angemeldet haben.
We grew up in Switzerland and until now we have been traveling a lot in Europe, Africa and America. We started a world trip in January and are excited to learn a lot about Asia. We are both very open-minded, modest people and love the exchange with people. I lived and worked during the last years as a receptionist in Zermatt, one of the most famous tourist places in Switzerland. Simon has already volunteered twice in Africa at an animal care center and works in Switzerland as a metal worker (craftsman). We want to support people, get to know cultures better and collect many unforgettable memories, which is why we signed up on this platform.

Paar: Durch Workaway konnten wir schon unvergessliche Erfahrungen sammeln. Wir haben unter anderem Kinder Englischunterricht gegeben, durften bei Renovationsarbeiten eines Hostels, beim Bau einer Reception helfen, sowie Rezeptionsarbeiten erledigen. Unser letztes Projekt durften wir auf einem Glamping-Areal verbrigen. Wir haben Gäste bedient, geputzt und den Garten umgestaltet. Wir sind dankbar für all die wunderbaren Begegnungen und Freundschaften und freuen uns auf alle weiteren Workaway-Jobs.
Couple: Through Workaway we have already had unforgettable experiences. Among other things, we have given English lessons to children, were allowed to help with the renovation of a hostel, as well as with the construction of a reception and actual reception work. We were able to spend our last project on a glamping area. We served guests, cleaned and redesigned the garden. We are grateful for all the wonderful encounters and friendships and look forward to all the other Workaway jobs.
