Meine Worte
I am a South African student, spending a gap year in Switzerland with my goals being to earn as much work experience as I can, whilst saving up for studies.
I hold dual citizinship, but grew up on the West Coast of South Africa, a little bit above Cape Town.
Interessen
Having grown up on a farm along the West Coast,
I have gained a lot of experience doing practical and hands-on tasks - from day-to-day farming and heavy lifting,
to vehicle maintenance and long-distance driving,
to beekeeping. I am a great fan of trying my hand at new things,
and as such I have experience quite a few areas of work.
My interests would include reading and travel,
though as of yet I have not been able to experience much outside of Switzerland. I often longboard around town in the summer months,
or spend time at the lake with friends. I gained a bit of fame back home as a "braai master",
that is,
the one to handle the barbeque - a title I greatly enjoyed,
and have tried to keep it alive here. On the cooking side,
I have several years of experience,
but not quite the European style of cooking.
At the end of the day,
I love to sit back with a beer and some friends,
and just enjoy the time spent with good company and witty conversation.
Ich suche
Work experience in near any industry. Ideally, those related to the sciences, engineering or technology.
Ich biete
An amicable and easy-going personality, plenty of wit and a sharp mind, with a good head for numbers and logical thought.
Linguistically, I hold a strong command over the English language, and am also fluent in Afrikaans. Currently, I am learning German, which I fully intend on becoming fluent it as well.
