Description

Halli hallo 👋 I'm Vera from Cologne, Germany, and will start my work & travel experience in NZ in October.

What motivates me most is learning new things, helping others and making everyday life a little easier. I enjoy organizing, finding practical solutions and improving things – especially when I can see that my help makes a difference.

In my free time, I love cooking, being active, singing, getting creative and spending time with animals – I grew up surrounded by them. I also really enjoy discovering little cafés and restaurants and trying new things.

I’m a mix of calm and relaxed, but also social, curious and communicative. I value respect, consideration and genuine interest in each other. I love shared moments like cooking, doing sports, exploring a place together or having a good laugh, but I also appreciate everyone having their own space. I’m excited to meet people from different backgrounds, experience new cultures and step outside my comfort zone. I hope to take great memories and experiences with me while giving back openness, support and good energy along the way.

More details about your skills

I currently work part-time at events as a kitchen assistant, cashier and waitress, so I’m used to working with many different people and in busy, fast-paced environments. I’m reliable, organized, careful and structured, and I always try to be helpful and attentive to the people around me.

I also have around five years of professional experience in marketing and project management. This has taught me to take responsibility, organize tasks, communicate clearly, solve problems and keep an overview even when there are many things happening at once. I’m flexible, adaptable and enjoy learning new skills and taking on new challenges.

I’m comfortable around animals and also enjoy spending time with children. I did some babysitting when I was younger. I also love getting creative, working on DIY projects and learning from other people – especially hearing about different ways of living and seeing how others approach everyday life.

I’m happy to get my hands dirty, help wherever needed and learn by doing. I’m not afraid of new tasks and usually enjoy figuring things out along the way.
