Description
Hoi!
I'm a 25 year old from Switzerland with a BA in Socialpedagogy and Special Education. After 5 years in the field, I want to explore new terrain.
Doing physical work outside is what I enjoy most - in any kind of weather. From building, to gardening, and animal care. I'd love to learn more about welding and building straw bale houses!
Since October 2019, I've had great learning experiences in Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, England and Norway, and met many interesting people from all walks of life. In exchanging ideas and viewpoints, we can all benefit from each other.
My main incentive is to build up skills in all kinds of areas, so I'm keen to try out any given task.Interests

Luca is an extremely attentive host, with your well-being as one of his priorities. He was always making sure that we had everything we needed, and he went out of his way to buy special requested ingredients to cook tasty dishes! We also learned how to cook pasta the only right way ;).

We worked independently most of the time, as usually everyone goes to their work or has their own tasks to do during the day.
Everyone was very welcoming, and we had many interesting conversations. I felt comfortable right from the start!
Thank you
