Description

Hey there, I'm Emma!

I am currentyl studying Biology in the Netherlands and as much as I enjoying the learning process, I sometimes miss the vibe of the time during my gap-year-travels. I volunteered in Romania and Norway, ranging from farms and bird ringing to architecture and hostel activities. Being busy with studying during the semesters, I feel the urge to discover even more, go to places I haven't been before, spend time in nature and mountains (sadly there are not too many of them here in NL :)), learning new skills or get a little insight into other people's thoughts. I would be happy to get to know more of this world and to learn, listen and connect.

More details about your skills

• animal care, training with horses and dogs - at home I cared for a horse; in Romania I looked for about 30 horses and 5 dogs together with another volunteer. I would like to learn more about animal care, training and treatment. An respectful and trustful relationship to the animal is essential to me.

• biology, sustainability, ecology - as a starting biology student this is one of my main interests. As I am familiar with the theory and started gaining practical experience during my gap year, I would love to deepen this (especially environment, animal or sustainability related projects).

• crafting and building - I have some basic understanding of how things work, especially after helping in an architect's office. I learn fast and can find out how things (should) work when looking long enough at them. Gaining more practical understanding would be great.

• social work, hospitality - I am a certified youth leader, volunteering at organising outdoor summer camps with hikes and workshops for children and teenager. Teamwork, taking over responsibility and a good communication plays a big role here. In the hostel in Norway activity planing and taking groups on hikes were essential as well. Here I got more experience in taking care of guests and built an understanding for hospitality and tourism.
