Hey there! My name is Vanessa Müller. I am a seventeen-year-old and live in a small, but nice village called Schwarzach in Austria with my mother.
At the moment, I am attending a commercial high school in Bregenz. Even though the main focus lies on accounting and business economics, I am more interested in science and languages. After I graduate, I would like to study biology in Vienna.
In my leisure time, I enjoy listening to music and reading books. When the weather is nice, I like to go for a walk, preferably into the woods. I love learning new things and traveling to new places.
Ever since I enrolled in the commercial high school and heard about the opportunity to work in a foreign country for a month, I knew that I wanted to participate. And finally, after four years the time has come.
I have already been to Ireland once and I immediately fell in love with the country. The landscape and the culture are really different from Austria and I am so excited to come back to Ireland.
