Description

Hey I‘m Yaelle 25 years old and new on Workaway

Three years ago I went backpacking in Asia, that was a fantastic experience and I had some extraordinary and interesting encounters with people. But I had a feeling that something was missing. Then it hit me, I wasn't getting insight into the real life of the country. I want to embrace the culture and the day to day lives of the people that live there.
I‘m sick of only visiting the touristic parts of the country. I wanna see the true country.
Sadly i realised that to late when i was traveling in Asia, that‘s why I think Workaway is the perfect way to travel in the future.

More about my person:
I am very adventurous, like to try new things and experience something just to have fun in life.
I like to go on road trips with my small van. I love to be outside in the mountains: to hike or to jump into cold waters! Generally, I like water very much except for drinking, I find water too boring, I prefer tea.

I love to go climbing, unfortunately I go much too rarely. I also enjoy it when I can pick my own vegetables from my self-built bed on my small but nice balcony or when my plants, which I have grown from an offshoot, get a new leaf. When I'm not outside I like to read – I get to do that too rarely, too- listen to podcasts, audio books, cook, bake or clean up with pleasure. Professionally I work as a nurse with temporary contracts, because I have the opportunity to be more free, so I have already worked in many places and could gain a lot of experience.

More details about my language interests
I find languages very fascinating, because through language, you can also immerse yourself more in the culture. I learned French in my au pair year. My mother tongue is Swiss German, but I also speak German. My English skills are something that I would like to improve:)

More details about your skills

I work as a nurse, so I bring nursing and medical knowledge.

Privately I like to try out different DIY projects, have built a garden bed and a wooden decoration from driftwood.

I did voluntary work in Cambodia where I helped the local people to renovate a school building, where my task was to repaint the walls.

Before I started my education, I did an au pair year where I learned French and took care of 3 small children. Additionally, taking care of the pets was my responsibility so I looked after the chickens, the rabbit and the cat. Further, I helped the family to do the housework.
In general, I like to try new things. I also like to be inspired to learn new/further skills. :)
