Description

hey! I'm Sharon, a 24 years old girl from Switzerland.
In august 2023 I finished my bachelor degree in ethnology and educational psychology, and decided to take a gap year (that's becoming longer).
I did an internship of 4 months in a refugee center in Switzerland and then left my home country to travel and volunteer around.

I love to travel, discover new cultures, meet new people and share experiences and adventures. I already had the chance to visit different countries; every place and person I met helped me grow and create the person I am now.

I'm a calm person who can also enjoy some crazy time with the right company, I like reading and going on walkings (especially on the mountain), just started surf and I really enjoy it. I love being in contact with other human beings, work together and have fun.

More details about your skills

Probably my best trait is to be super flexible and always ready to try and learn new things.
I worked in a bar/restaurant in the little village where I grew up, I also did a lot of babysitting. I volunteered in a daycare in Tanzania where I also painted some walls. I helped refugees learn italian and taught french. All this brought me to a 4 months internship in a refugees center, during which I helped social assistant in their work.
I volunteered in a hostel where I did the reception work, but also as all rounder in different places in Thailand. I've also challenged myself by teaching english in a school in Cambodia and I actually loved it!
I like to be outside, in the nature and that's why I I worked in a farm in the mountains with goats and cows, milking them, making cheese, and all the works that have to be done in such environment.
I've done the grape harvest in France.
I'm always ready to put myself into new challenges and to step out of my comfort zone.

During my studies I lived alone so housework is not a problem. I cook and love to do it, I like to try new recipes.
