Travelling
Description
During my studies in the Netherlands and especially throughout my one semester stay in Dublin, I realized that I want to spend more time immersing myself into a more intense cultural exchange. The desire to indulge more in a culture, in people and an English-speaking environment as well as getting into a travel mood, motivates me to hit the road immediately.
... that’s what I did & spent nearly three years in New Zealand (got stuck by choice!). It was such a shaping experience. I stayed with a wonderful family on a remote island for over a year & travelled the mainland for the rest of the time. I worked in childcare, in kitchens, at a reception, as a waitress, did housekeeping and seasonal work.
I spent the past months catching up with family & friends in Germany, worked at a special needs school. I really enjoyed this experience but now I am ready to roll again!
I’m looking for a new adventure starting end of May!Languages

I have graduated in Psychology in early 2019 – You do not need to worry about me analysing but I do get some insights into human nature which I love to talk about.
Living on my own for several years, taught me how to whip up some nice dishes and through an internship in nutrition counselling, they might even be balanced from time to time.. Several experiences in flat shares, showed me the importance of cleaning up after myself as well as using my own initiative. Adapting to changing environments also helped me being sensitive and getting better at reading situations.
... that was well written back in the days and I guess most of it is true! I certainly gained so much more experience in New Zealand. I worked in different roles, adapted quickly and enjoyed the changes!
I feel confident in child care & hospitality roles and always willing to learn new skills.Age

What else ...
There is not much that will throw me as an easy-going and family person. I’ve got used to a high level of decibel while being the quiet child with scuffling brothers and cousins. After a while though, I love to spend some time to myself - You will find me curled up with a book, on a Yoga mat or just giving my mind some space while taking a walk.
