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.
I did an internship of 4 months in a refugee center in Switzerland and the plan for the nexts months is to travel around the world to discover new cultures, meet new people, share experiences and adventures.

I love to travel and 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). I love being in contact with other human beings, work together and have fun.

More details about your skills

Since I spend the majority of my life studying, I don't have 1.000 working skills; I however had some experience beside my schooling. 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'm always ready to put myself into new challenges and to step out of my comfort zone.

I like to be in the nature, outside. When I was a kid my grandpa had a garden and I used to help him : thanks to the tasty rewards (;
For the lasts 3 years and a half, I lived alone so housework is not a problem. I cook and love do to it, I like to try new recipes.
I have a lovely cat and an enthusiastic dog, I like the animal's company.
