I am currently working in a hotel.
I am interested in various types of work, such as hotel work, farm work (especially horses), construction work, eco projects, childcare, gardening, and lots more.

Description

Since a long time, I've been very interested in traveling and meeting new people, not just for a week-long holiday. I love immersing myself in different cultures, listening to stories from diverse backgrounds, and seeing the world from various perspectives.

I'm 26 years old and from Switzerland, growing up on a farm in a rural area. After finishing school, I worked as a gardener for three years in Switzerland, followed by various horse stables.

In 2021, I packed up all my belongings and left my home behind. I started by attending a language school in Dublin to improve my English.
After that, I went to Iceland to work on a horse and sheep farm where we organized guided horseback tours. My responsibilities included guiding tourists, cleaning, baking, taking care of the horses and working with the sheep, among other tasks. I spent 10 months there.
Later on, I worked briefly as a barista in Switzerland before heading to Denmark to learn about the Academic Art of Riding.
Currently, I'm spending the last summer in Norway, working in a hotel where I handeld various tasks such as front desk duties, housekeeping, serving, and more.
This winter, I am in Austria, working at another hotel at the front desk and in the back office.

I would love to work on a farm, primarily with horses, or in a tourism-related role. I enjoy having a busy schedule during work but also value relaxation time. I'm flexible, quick to learn, and always eager to explore new things.

What else ...

Horses have fascinated me since I was young. I started riding at the age of ten, but I also loved being in the stable, helping with cleaning and feeding, and spending as much time as possible with horses.
Dancing is another passion of mine. I started traditional Swiss dancing even earlier than riding and continued until I was around 20 years old. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to restart dancing, but I am eager to learn other dance styles and improve my skills.

In my youth I once learned to play the guitar, so if it comes to a campfire, entertainment would be provided.
I like to try out new things and be spontaneous.
As longe as I have a good time I'm always happy.
