Description

Hello!:) My name is Vilja, I'm 21 years old girl from Finland looking for new adventures before applying to a university. I am a very outgoing and adventurous person, who genuinely loves creating new connections. I like being by myself in peace, but at the same time I come from a big family so I’m used to live in a busy and hectic atmosphere full of noise, laugh and love!

I’m full of energy when it comes to sports, especially running and group excercising, music, singing and learning new things. I also love long walks, being in the nature and meditating.

I love exploring new places and cultures. While travelling I have met some amazing people and got to create new friendships with people from all around the world. It’s just so worth it. Also there is situations when you are out of your comfort zone, that’s when you learn a lot. Travelling has taught me more than I ever thought and I appreciate it so so much:)

I have been a nanny, a kids’ club host in Mallorca and an elf in Lapland. I have had multiple cleaning jobs and been working in a school and in a restaurant. This year my job has been in a hospital. Not one job has been annoying, I have found my favourite things in everything and enjoyed every single job. I dream about being a doctor in my future but before university I wanna explore the world more:)

More details about your skills

I graduated high school with good grades, I have always been interested in studying. Languages are very fun, I have studied english, swedish and spanish. As a native finnish speaker, i would love to teach some finnish.

I’m a very active person and love all kind of sports. I have ran multiple half marathons, excercised in a gym, been swimming and cycling, played badminton and volleyball. I can also sing and play a violin.

I am very flexible and can adapt easily to different environments. I have been working in a school, in a hospital, in a hotel, in restaurants, in Finland and also abroad. I have worked with people in all ages, from babies to very old people. I’m also very motivated to learn new things:)

Taking resposibolity is natural for me and I think it originally comes from being the oldest of ten children in our family. Later both travelling and different jobs have given me a lot more confidence. I'm also super patient in all kind of situations.
