Description
Hi! I'm Ruth, I'm 21 and I'm currently finishing my bachelor's thesis in psychology.
I have extensive experience travelling inbetween semesters and would love to use the year between my bachelor and master to continue travelling and working.
I love hiking, being outside and just enjoying nature, as well as taking care of and interacting with animals.
One thing I always do, no matter the weather, is swimming - especially in lakes, fjords and the ocean.

More details about your skills
As I grew up in the countryside I love interacting with animals and don't mind working outdoors. Additionally I've worked with horses, chickens and cows and would love to learn how to take care of more animals :)
I quite like taking care of kids, especially if they are older than 3 but can also babysit younger ones. Since my brother already has kids aged from a few months old to 7 years old I'm quite familiar with taking care of them.
Besides that I tutored highschoolers in math, english and german and spent some time at a primary school explaining simple computer science to kids each week.
I'm open to trying new things and expanding my skillset, because I love learning new things and always try my best to reliably finish tasks.

What else ...
I love spending time together in the evenings playing boardgames - my family "invented" their own version of a card game which I'd love to teach you or simply play the classics.
My longest passion is riding - I've been riding for about 16 years now, mostly focussed on dressage, but I also have some experience in western riding.
Throughout my life I've tried a lot of hobbies - currently I'm part of a classical choir and dance social dances, but I have also done gymnastics, gone kayaking and did athletics.
I'm always open to trying something new (especially water related).
