  • Description

    Hello from Switzerland! :-)

    I have just graduated as a secondary school teacher and am looking forward to this long-awaited trip, which I hope to start in September. I love learning about new countries, cultures and people and gaining new experience. This also allows me to get to know myself once more from a different side.

    I am passionate about many things, so I don't even know where to start. As a teacher I love to encourage children and teenagers and to share my knowledge and fascination. Doing sports makes me happy, whether it is dancing (different styles), playing volleyball, climbing, running or trying out surfing. I am always open to new things and I like variety. I love to film and edit videos and to take pictures from time to time. I am also very passionate about art and am always looking for new projects to live out creatively.

    I live with four roommates and two small cats in a shared apartment in beautiful Bern (Switzerland), where I love to swim in the river Aare and go to music festivals in the summer. In winter I like to go snowboarding in the mountains.

    Last but not least, I am passionate about learning new languages and cultures...and I love to cook (and eat)! Good food, good people and good music and a little bit of sunshine makes me happy!

  • More details about your skills

    From the professional side I have just finished my studies to become a teacher for the secondary level I and can now officially call myself "teacher". I have graduated in Arts, French, Physical Education, Geography and History and have now also taught French for one year. So I bring professional experience and knowledge in teaching.
    I have also worked for a film agency for a year and have had the pleasure of working on several image and wedding films. Furthermore, I have worked as a side job in the service and bar business.

    Since 5 years I teach urban dance styles for kids from 6-12 years. With my warm and friendly nature I can quickly develop a connection with children. I am a reliable, trustworthy person and I am always ready to lend a hand or to get things going myself. I love to create visuals: be it film, photo, flyers, postcards or booklets.
