Description

Hello friends! I find it little difficult to write about myself, I mean like all of us - I don't fit in just one (text)box :)

My name is Danielle (26, portuguese and german🇵🇹🇩🇪) – but you can call me whatever you want haha I already got many names, so you are free to improvise and surprise me!

I love slow travelling and my goal is to live in many different countries. I enjoy exploring different countries, their people, cultures and languages.
The result, I have been volunteering for 5 years now, living in 3 different countries, counting 8 volunteer projects. During my work and volunteer experience I've learned a lot about myself, found new friends and places that felt like home, had special conversations and made a lot of memories. It’s always such a special feeling, that I just can’t stop volunteering :)

I am more of a calm person, I enjoy the simple things, but always ready to have fun (if it's not on someone's costs!), to explore, to connect with people, to share stories and especially create new ones. I love deep conversations but I also enjoy time by myself reading a good book or something.

I am a polite, patient, and independently working person, always ready to help wherever it is needed. I would call myself unjudgemental and empathetic, with an open ear for everyone around me.

I enjoy volunteering, 'cause of the closeness to nature, back to basics, and free of society's expectations. Where people are just enjoying life, living in the here and now. Where I can learn more about myself and life in general, where I can grow and meet new people to share experiences.

Most interesting achievements:
🥾 Walked the Camino de Santiago (600km Pilgrimage)
🦥 Got promoted to Assistant manager in my last volunteer project

Age

26

What else ...

I am very progressive and open-minded but I also do love it old school :)

I prefer letters over telefone calls, board games over video games, I think books can never be replaced by e-readers and I am always the odd one out for not having any streaming services. I hate AI from the bottom of my heart, it scares me... I started my own little Vinyl collection after my dad gave me his record player. Handwritten notes are irreplacable. I love second hand shopping and if something doesn't fit, I sew it myself. If I promise something, I keep my promise. If I have nothing nice to say I rather stay quiet and if I have something nice to say I always mean it :)
