Description
Hello!! My name is Jenny :)
I'm 27 years old and I grew up in the north of German.
I went to Canada for one year after high school, where I got my first workaway experiences. When I came back to Germany I was working for IKEA for 5 years in Interior Design and Visual Marketing. But was also able to collect skills like painting, wallpapering, flooring and simple electric works.
Two years ago, I had enough of the 9 to 5 job and wanted to see more of the world again. I went on the Camino de Santiago in Spain and then to New Zealand for a year where I did a couple more Workaways but also got a job in a supermarket and on a cherry orchard.
Through my Workaways I've got experience in tasks like gardening, caring for animals, cleaning, housekeeping, cooking, painting tiny houses, sewing and work around a small hotel.
I'm open minded and willing to learn new skills
hope to see you soon!
