Description

Hey there!

It's my first time volunteering abroad, and I cannot wait to get started!
I love travelling, with family and friends as well as solo. Besides travelling I adore animals, dancing and reading. Meeting people in new places is one of my favourite activities :)
I'm a social butterfly and can adapt quickly to new situations.

I have a passion for Spanish as a whole, and for the past year I've taught myself some basics of the language. This summer will be my first time travelling to Central and South America, and I believe I can get to know each culture best by completely immersing myself in local volunteer projects. Besides that I would love to practice my Spanish more, mostly by talking, listening, singing...

A personal goal of mine is to get to know myself even better, which I found and heard is a very common experience during solo travel.

I hope to see you soon!

Kind regards
Merel
