Description

Hi! We’re Selma and Tarja from Germany. We’re both 18 and just finished high school. Before starting university, we want to explore the world, meet new people, and learn more – about life, different languages, other cultures, and ourselves.
We both love being outside, enjoy nature, and are used to working hard – whether it’s gardening, chopping wood, or taking care of animals. We’re open-minded, curious, and always excited to try something new.
Can’t wait to meet you and be part of your project!

More details about your skills

Both of us are fluent in German and English, while I also speak a little Italian (Level B1 officially).
We both have over two years of experience in gastronomy (we have worked in a traditional German restaurant, a cafe and for the last year together in an Italian restaurant– working with guests, behind the counter, and in the kitchen. This taught us how important teamwork, patience, and a calm attitude are, even in stressful moments.
We’re also familiar with physical work and life on the countryside.

In addition, Selma is interested in social projects, always curious about new social groups and enjoys working with them. Having two nephews, she is already familiar with taking care of children.

I have some experience in gardening, painting and chopping wood. With my grandparents suffering from dementia, I have also experience in taking care while being patient.
We’re reliable, quick learners, and happy to help wherever we’re needed.
Looking forward to working with you!
