Description
Hey! My name is Esther. I’m 21 and I live in Bern – the capital of Switzerland (yes, not Zurich😉). I’m currently studying German as well as English language and literature, and I aspire to become a teacher one day.
What brings me happiness:
- Music, especially playing violin
- Literature, exploring by reading and writing
- Food, being creative in the kitchen, exploring new flavours
I’m curious, open-minded and excited to learn new things and meet new people along the way:) -

More details about your skills
I'm a motivated and reliable person who is willing to learn new skills. I grew up on a farm, so I'm used to lending a hand outdoors (garden, haying, chickens, sheep, cows, bees, picking fruits).
I have worked as a waitress in several restaurants. I also have experience in hospitality from a Workaway in Morocco, where I helped in a guest house with cleaning, cooking and managing check-ins and check-outs. Recently, I worked as an outreach assistant at university and gained some experience as a copywriter in the field of biological agriculture. I also did a Workaway in France, helping to build a greenhouse under instruction, gaining experience in construction and teamwork.
Overall, I am adaptable and enjoy contributing to meaningful projects. -
