Description

Hi, I am Liz, 28 years old from Germany,

I recently quit my job to travel the world, starting with South America.
After dreaming of coming to South America since I was about 11 years old, I was finally able to fulfill my dream this year.
I have always enjoyed travelling and living in different countries, as I love learning and speaking different languages, discovering and experiencing different cultures, getting to see different ways of life and see the world from other peoples eyes.

I have worked an office job for 3 years after I finished university and it made me long for more freedom, movement and time to connect with nature.
I love being outdoors in any way possible but I particularly like hiking and love anything to do with water: swimming, diving, water sports. I have started wind surfing and did a surf course and I would love to get better at it (or learn to actually stand up on the board and really surf, to tell the truth :D)
I also enjoy drawing, singing and dancing or just having a relaxed day with a good book sometimes.

My job for the last three years was working in yacht charter sails, where I have learned a lot about sailing yachts especially, but as most of my time was spent behind a desk, that knowledge was never very practical. So, I would love the opportunity to spend some time on a boat, maybe learn to sail and get to experience more of the life on the water.
Another thing I would love to know more about is how to grow your own vegetables and maintain a garden.

Generally, my wish for the next year is to connect more with nature, learn about farming, learning to surf, challenge my creativity and spend time outdoors in any way possible while also connecting with people of different cultures to experience their way of life and maybe share some of mine.
