Description
Hello everyone:)
I'm Isabel and I'm 20 years old. I live in southern Germany, near the Bodensee (lake of Constance).
I graduated from high school in July 2023 and am now in my second year of training to become a biology lab technician.
After graduating from high school, I spent several months doing work and travel mainly in Norway and Sweden, but also a little in Estonia. I really enjoyed the experiences I had during that time, and I try to continue traveling as much as possible during my vacations.
I would describe myself as an open minded and friendly person who enjoys being in company but also does well on my own.
In my freetime I like to read, go for a walk/hike or meet up with friends.
Crafting is also one of my hobbies, whether it's painting my walls or making paper flowers and cardboard piñatas for my friends' birthdays, I enjoy doing it:)

More details about your skills
During my previous Workaways, I have done many different things, mostly outdoor work such as gardening, chopping wood, or painting. The latter is something I've got loads of experience with (thanks to Workaway) and really enjoy doing, no matter how high the ladder or scaffolding is.
I'm also a big fan of small manual projects. I don't get to build things as often as I'd like, but I've had a lot of fun building doors, garden beds, and a chicken coop.
Otherwise, I'm also very happy to work around the house, cooking, cleaning, or assembling furniture. But one of my favorite things to do is (physically) organize things. I love rearranging bookshelves, toolboxes, kitchen cabinets, and so on. So if you need help with things like that, I'm happy to help;)
I also really enjoy trying new things, like beekeeping, cutting down trees, or repairing a floating dock. I'm no expert, of course, but I promise I'm a quick learner:)
