Description

Hi:)
I'm Elina and I will turn 22 this summer. I will finish my current job in April, soo I will have lots of time to travel again (yeyy🥳).
My first solo trip was in the summer of 2023, which is also when I collected my first experience with workaway. So far I have really enjoyed the concept. I think the work/travel balance works really well for me and I have been able to take away much inspiration, so many connections and so much joy.
I'm looking for cool people/families who could use a helping hand with all sorts of things. 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 3 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 your skills

I'm a biology lab technician and I currently work in a project concerning arthropod diversity in flower strips.
But I could also collect some working experience in gastronomy, hospital and animal care.
The project that I work in will finish soon, therefore also my position. In the past years, I decided to connect my passion for biology with the medical field. So if everything works out, I will start studying midwifery in September. Until then, I want to use the time to travel.
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 like to get my hands dirty in the garden, solving smaller problems around/ in the house, stables ect.
By now I could already experience four different workaways.
