Description
*I'm mostly looking for a long term host, if possible, in a German speaking region.*
I started as a Plumber in Switzerland, made roofs later (The flat ones out of bitumen).
As most Swiss citizens, I joined our army, and served in a leadership support battalion.
Since I always liked computer games, I learned to develop software.
Science was also always one of my hobbies, so I have a bit of knowledge in Biology/Chemistry/Physics.
There are many more interests, and I'm always willing to learn more.
My humour might be a bit strange to most people, but it did not kill anyone so far.
Work and travel is basically my life for around 8 years.
My start was in Sweden on a campsite, where I also met my first host (not via Workaway).
Besides, I helped in some refugee homes, mainly in the kitchen.
I found this platform in 2017 and met already some great hosts.
And I'm really grateful for all the things I learned at that time. Many hosts gave me the opportunity to do things that I have never done before, so I collected many new skills.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Sofia is one of those very few humans that I could have around me all day long.
She is very pleasant and straight forward. The way she cares for her animals is also way above average.
And she interacts with her animals as kind and giving as with humans.
Furthermore, she really lives the values she preaches.
