Description

I am a very interested and cosmopolitan person who loves getting to know new people and their culture. I have traveled a lot with my family over the last few years and have had the opportunity to visit countries such as Slovakia, Italy and Denmark. During my 4-month exchange to the UK in 2021 I was able to experience what it is like to live with a foreign family in a completely new environment. This exchange also strengthened my desire to discover more countries and their culture.
In my free time I am passionate about making music. I've been playing the violin and piano for a long time and I am happiest when I can make music with other people, e.g. in an orchestra or choir. It's such a great feeling when the different instruments and voices come together and create a wonderful sound.
Also I really enjoy spending time in nature. In the summer I like to go swimming with my friends in one of the nearby lakes and at the weekend I go cycling or hiking with my family. On vacation we also like to hike in the mountains of Austria or spend time at the Baltic or North Sea. Since I have two younger sisters, I am familiar with dealing with children. In my athletics club, I train the under-12s once a week, and in my church I also often prepare games and activities for the acolites. Both give me great pleasure, because I really enjoy playing with the children. In this way, I also learned to take responsibility and lead groups.

More details about my language interests
If I had the chance, I would love to learn a new language! I could also teach some German but I have no experience teaching anyone a new language so I don't know how successful that would be ;)

More details about your skills

I would count my ability to deal with children as one of my greatest strength. I have two younger sisters and I love to spend my time with them. During my time in the UK I had three younger siblings and especially during lockdown I spent much time with them outside in the garden or playing board games.
My work as a track and field trainer taught me how to deal with a group of many young kids and I realy enjoy directing games and teaching new skills.

What else ...

I am a big fan of board games. I love simple card games like Ligretto or Cheat but my favourite game is a role playing game called werewolves. I also love any kind of beach games, like beach volleyball, kubb or spikeball.
