Description

Hi! I‘m Annabelle. I am a calm, open-minded and reliable person. Somehow the word people love to describe me with is “diligent“; I guess they want to say that I work hard at whatever I set my mind on. It‘s true that I‘m very eager to learn, in all different parts of life, and have been since childhood.

I love nature, I really do. And I spend a lot of my spare time hiking - “a lot of time“ not just because I enjoy walking so much, but also because I get caught up in the sight of the little beetle on the sidewalk and the rainbow colors of the spiderweb in the grass, or the sound of a buzzard flying overhead. Meaning, I walk, and stop, inspect, and walk, and stop, and listen. That‘s me.

Meditation and mindfulness are very important to me; I meditate almost every day. I practice Iyengar yoga, and I am basically obsessed with bouldering (would love to learn rock climbing, too). Other than that, I enjoy reading, drinking tea, and cooking vegan food. Actually, I’m pretty good at the latter - my relatives keep telling me I should open a vegan restaurant… Not a café, though. My baking… isn‘t the best.

More details about your skills

I have been able to gain some experience in the following fields of work.

Hospitality sector:
I have worked in a small, four-star hotel and several hostels for a total of 10 months, where I was responsible for bookings and check-ins, taking care of the guests (e.g. guiding them on hikes), cleaning and room service, helping in the kitchen (cooking, waitressing), as well as managing the other volunteers.

English Teaching:
I have volunteered at a language café and an after-school English club, where I taught students ranging from primary school ages to adults.

Child care and housework:
I worked as an Au Pair for three months, which means I took care of the children as a babysitter and helped the family with housework.

Non-governmental organization:
I have done an internship at a human rights NGO in South Korea. My work mostly focused on public outreach, especially managing their social media and creating content.

Age

27

What else ...

P.S.: I may be short, but I don‘t shy away from physically challenging work - I don‘t mind getting sweaty or muddy. So feel free to send me chopping wood, build a house, or anything of that sort. At a mimimum, it’ll maintain my strength for climbing, and probably it‘ll even be fun ;)
