  • Description

    I am 23 years old and just graduated from university in Germany. I am now hoping to see more of the world before settling for a full-time job.
    I would describe myself as optimistic, spontaneous, pretty easy to motivate and loving. I am very passionate about helping people in any shape or form. I want to see different parts of the world and learn more about different ways of living. Getting to know new people is one of my favourite things. I am also looking forward to improving my language skills and am very passionate about anything that has to do with music and art.

    My plan to go to Spain or another country of southern Europe stems from multiple reasons. I have been to southern Europe multiple times before (Spain, Italy, Greece) and really enjoyed the climate, mentality and culture there a lot. I have also always enjoyed making use and improving my Spanish skills! Maybe I will try to find a full-time job there too.

    Being from Germany, I have also noticed some differences between the cultures. I've heard Germans have a very direct communication style, which I personally believe to be something that makes communication more efficient. But as I am aware of this difference I try to adapt to other people's communication style as best as I can ^^

  • More details about your skills

    I studied Medical Biotechnology in university, so I have strong knowledge of various medical and biological contexts as well as laboratory work and bioinformatics.
    I have experience working as a language mediator translating between English and German. Because my family has been doing most things on their own, giving work to handymen or other service providers (e.g. car mechanics or tailors) very rarely, I have a lot of experience with many tasks revolving around house, garden or household.

    I am experienced in the following tasks and enjoy doing them:
    gardening
    cleaning / laundry / ironing
    cooking
    basic house maintenance work / building with wood
    repairing bikes / cars
    soldering
    renovating/painting
    hand-sewing/working with a sewing machine
    ...

    IT skills:
    software: MS Office, programming (Python and R)...
    hardware: fixing computers/phones

    playing the clarinet, piano and guitar
    singing
    creative writing
