Description
Hi, I'm Selina.
I'm 24 years old, born and raised in Switzerland and ready for a new workaway adventure!
After finishing my bachelor's degree I'm taking another gap year (last one was in 2019/2020 and for obvious reasons I had to get back home earlier than planned).
I am a passionate Judoka, I train 3-4 times a week myself and I also train kids in Judo.
My last time during workaway I stayed with three wonderful families in Japan and Italy. I also helped out in a B&B in Japan and spent 5 weeks helping renovating an old Japanese house. In Thailand I worked around a boat and also volunteered in a Kindergarten.

At the moment there is a lot of renovation and DIY stuff going on, so the work was quite physical. Be prepared to be on your feet a lot. Also bring some clothes that can get dirty. The fun thing is that you can observe how the house changes!

I was welcomed very warmly and felt immediately at home.
I had a big, nice room and an own bathroom. My "work" consisted mainly in doing homework with Andrea, their son. He is very kind and smart, but sometimes a bit hard to motivate. Besides that I didn't have to do much, so I could… read more
I did enjoy staying with them, Kayoko is an excellent cook and will always when she finds some free time show you around. The work we had to do was not very hard, two hours of cleaning the rooms, make the beds etc. But we had to do so all week… read more
