Description
For me, true happiness lies in the deep connection with nature, people, and animals, embraced by the warmth of the sun - being in the sun makes me feel at home.
From my first holiday outside of Germany at the age of 14, when I traveled to Spain with my grandparents, I have felt a deep longing to explore the world. Traveling, connecting with people, and immersing myself in nature truly touch my heart.

More details about your skills
My family runs a restaurant and cultivates its own wine. I started working there at the age of 16 and still actively contribute whenever I am home. My tasks have always been diverse, as every day brings new challenges.
In the vineyards, there is work to be done 365 days a year—pruning, defoliating, and, of course, the harvest itself.
At the restaurant, my main responsibilities included shopping at the wholesale market, waitressing, assisting in the kitchen (salads/desserts), helping organize events, selling our own wine, and much more. This is how I earned money while attending school.
Through this experience, I learned a lot about what it takes to run a business in both gastronomy and agriculture. It also strengthened my ability to work with people, tackle new challenges, find quick solutions, take initiative, and recognize what needs to be done.

Lived with a host family and took care of three children (aged 2, 4, and 6 at the time) for 30 hours per week. My responsibilities included getting them ready for school, drop-off and pick-up, helping with homework, organizing activities, and cooking meals.
2017 - 2019 | Training as a Clothing Technology Assistant, Cologne, Germany
Completed a vocational training program in clothing technology.
2019 - 2020 | Work in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

It was a fascinating experience, as I was deeply inspired by the culture. I learned a lot from my boss but also had the chance to share my own knowledge. I worked independently, quickly took on responsibility, and always approached my tasks with enthusiasm.
