Description
Hi, we are Lea(23F) and Florian(25M), a couple from Germany, that just finished their Bachelor's and are now using the opportunity to travel around Southeast Asia.
Since we only scrape the surface of what a country has to offer, when we travel around as tourists, we want to volunteer in the countries, that we visit, in the hope that we can get to know the country on a deeper level. We would encounter people with totally different backgrounds to ours, participate in work that we are not used to and experience a way of life, that we don't have in Germany. I (Florian) enjoy physical labour, rural areas and nature. Also I can appreciate living self sustaining and cooking. I (Lea) have a big heart for children and animals. Any kind of work related to either of the two would make me very happy. With my bachelor's in environmental science I like any project that has to do with sustainability. I am also a very keen language learner (I speak French, Italian, English and German) and would be happy to teach any of those.
