Description

Hello,
I am Mailin Drenkard, a 19 year old girl from Ueberlingen at Lake Constance in Southern Germany. My family and I have lived at this beautiful place since I was born, but we have travelled a lot when I was young. This means that I love to travel learn to know different coutries.
Recently I did my final exams at school and now I would like to travel around the world. I am very adventurous and and I would like get in contact with people, the culture and learn more about the country.

I will be travelling for seven months and visit different countries like Namibia, New Zealand, India and Australia. I am very much looking forward to this trip and I hope to get in contact with lovely people around the globe!

More details about my language interests
I was born and grew up in Germany and so my mother language is German, but I have learned English since I was a little girl and later also in school. This means that my English is quite fluent.I can also speak and understand some Russian, because we have been learning Russian in school since the first grade, but there is still a lot to improve. I am always open to learn a new language or teach some of the languages I know as far as my knowledge goes.

More details about your skills

I love to be outside since we have a big garden with fruit trees, beehives and my grandmother grows many different vegetables and berries. In class nine I also did a four-week farm experience in Northern Germany.
This year I did my Abitur (the final exams in Germany) and next year I plan to study. I went to a Steiner School/Waldorf School in my home town and there we learned many different practical skills.
In class eleven I worked in an old people´s home, in class ten I had the chance to do an exchange with a girl from New Zealand and I stayed at their place for four months.
Among lots of others these were all very amazing experiences and they helped me to grow.
I am happy to help wherever I can, to get in contact with the people, learn something about the culture, the nature and from your place in general.

About my hobbies:
For many years I did gymnastics and while I did my student exchange in New Zealand we went bouldering and swimming. This is the reason why I am very interested in any kind of sport.
I also love to read good books and I like music. I play the transverse flute since many years and I have played in our school orchestra.
