Description

Hi:)
I'm Elina and I turned 20 this summer. I'm traveling through europe since the beginning of July, so I already had the chance to help in different places. So far I really enjoy the concept of workaway. I think the work/ travelling balance is very well suited for me.
That's why I'm looking for cool people/families, that could use a helping hand with all kinds of stuff. I'm interested in many areas, so I'm sure I will have fun doing almost anything.
I don't need much to be happy and I'm good at adjusting to new people.
In my free time I enjoy spending time alone doing sports, secondhand shopping, photography or with friends in front of a cup of coffee, walking around the city or in nature.
I grew up in the countryside of Switzerland and since I moved out 1.5 years ago I live in the biggest city of Switzerland in Zurich (which is still pretty small).
I grew up around lots of animals and I'm always overjoyed to go home and cuddle my cat Sissi.

More details about my language interests
I'm swiss therefore my mothertongue is German. I'm also quite good in english since I learned about and used it since I'm nine years old. I was also teached french in school for about seven years but sadly I'm not very good at it, because I could never use it besides school.

More details about your skills

I'm a biology lab technician and through my apprenticeship I had the opportunity to work in about six different labs. In those three years, I worked mostly in plant science.
Last year I decided to also try other jobs to find out, if I want to study something in these fields. So I did an internship on the maternity ward and one in a horse clinic.
In highschool I babysat frequently. I always enjoyed being around kids and feel their welcoming and happy energy, but due to the lack of time, I don't do it often anymore:(
I really like cooking and I do it everyday for myself (vegetarian and vegan). Since I live not with my parents anymore, I’m also good at housekeeping and cleaning.
I also have a very creative personality and love to do DIY projects and all kinds of crafts.
By now I could already expierence four different workaways.
