Activities i am interested in:

Hitchhiking?? :)

Description

Last year I finished my studies (Modern languages and literatures) and I’ve decided to to take a gap year. In September I’ll start a long trip across Europe, and I plan to go mainly by hitchhiking.

My goal is to get to Turkey and to come back before the freezing cold starts! 🌨️ I don’t have an exact route, because I want to improvise a bit!

I might also ask you to write something (a quote, a short sentence, a random thought, a poem, etc) in my small traveling notebook. I want to keep track of everyone I meet during my trip.

I’m very interested in permaculture and alternative and sustainable ways of living, although I’ve spent my whole life living in the buzzling city of Barcelona.

I also love languages, and I’d really like a language! I’m currently trying to learn some words of Dutch, Greek and Basque! I can teach you Spanish or Catalan if we meet!

Looking forward to being out of my comfort zone, meeting new people and discovering new ways of doing things.

I like to listen to people, and understand the context in which they live. Local culture and local communities are definitely amazing!

For many years I've taken part in the young social centre of my neighborhood and that's given me a lot of experience in terms of organization, crafting, problem resolution and self-independence.

More details about your skills

I've done many volunteer activites in the last few years. I helped build a festival and reconstruct a house in Berlin, I taught Catalan to kids in Barcelona for several months, and I've organized many activities.

I consider myself a motivated and proactive person: I like to do stuff and I always manage to solve the problems I encounter.

I don't have any experience with gardening, or animal care, but I'm willing to go outside my comfort zone and learn.
