Description

Hi, my name is Joelle and I‘m 21 years old. I study civil engineering in Zurich, Switzerland and live in a smaller village in the middle of the country. I‘m a very active person and I love many different sports: from horse riding, to skiing, biking, hiking and runing. I‘ve lived in California for one year (I did a Rotary exchange year) and the rest of my life I‘ve always lived in the same village. I love to travel, to meet new people, experience new cultures and to learn new languages. I speak german and english perfectly. I‘ve learned french for many years, but I‘m not very good at it. I have also taken some spanish lessons, but I would really like to learn more.
I‘m excited to the workaway experience and I hope it will work out!

Hi, my name is Lorena and I‘m 20 years old. I live in the same village as Joelle. I‘m very sporty: I love to go for runs and I play floorball and I‘m also in a fitness/workout group. I have worked in the french part of Switerland for some time to learn french. So now I know a little bit of french, I speak perfectly german and english. And I would love to learn spanish and italian. I really enjoy travelling and learning new skills. I enjoy nature and spending time outdoors. And I really like to be around people and spend time with my family and friends. I‘m excited to get to know a new country and how life is abroad, making new friends and learn something about a new language.
