Hi,
I'm Imogen, a 23 year old who has just graduated from university. During my gap year (2019-20) before university I went interrailing round Europe, did Workaway with a wonderful family in Germany (twice) for a total of 3 1/2 months. I also spent 3 months in rural Nepal helping improve awareness around health and social topics in a school and community. Last summer I did another workaway placement at a school in Germany and I’m just returning from a wonderful three weeks helping with the grape harvest on a vineyard in southern Germany.
I studied BA Geography with German at The London School of Economics. I found my love of the German language whilst doing workaway in 2019. During my time at university I worked on the reception desk at my hall of residence. Each summer the hall of residence turned into a 180 bed hostel in Central London for backpackers from all over the world. I loved the reception work and meeting so many interesting people and helping them get the most out of their vacation to London.
I do not smoke. I can drive but I have not driven for a few months.
I studied Human Geography at the LSE and I am particularly interested in human rights and the work of NGOs. I was a member of the UK Youth Parliament for 3 years and have spoken at the dispatch box in the House of Commons, leading a Youth Parliament debate. I am passionate about helping others and ensuring everyone has a voice and is listened to.
I love working with children and have spent three summers working as 'Activity Staff' at an International summer school. I have helped children between 7-18 improve their English skills both in the classroom and whilst visiting cultural attractions in the UK. I have also have been an Assistant Houseparent at a UK Boarding School school for a term during Covid. My mum is a Reception Class teacher, so I have grown up hearing and seeing all the wonderful things 4-5 year olds do. My father is a secondary school English teacher and I am seriously considering teaching at Secondary level as my chosen career. When I did workaway previously, I spent one day a week in the children's secondary school helping as an English language assistant and I absolutely loved this experience.
My friends say I am kind, friendly and fun. I love meeting people and travelling. When I was just 17, I travelled solo to Singapore, Australia and Malaysia. I have a great sense of adventure having travelled to different 26 countries in my 23 years! I love meeting people and hearing their stories and gaining a greater understanding of their life and country.
I am currently in the process of figuring out what I want to do now I’ve finished university. I’m not sure I want to study more at the moment and am not keen on working in an office as I’m very active and like to be busy moving about and doing things. This summer I set myself the goal of training for a half Ironman triathlon which I did in September. It was physically and mentally tough but a fantastic challenge which I really enjoyed working towards!
I have a youtube channel where I posted about my life at university and offered support and advice to high school students applying to university. https://www.youtube.com/c/ImogenWhite/featured
One of my videos about Workaway also features on the Workaway website!
I look forward to hearing from you!
