What else ...
Starting from the beginning of December 2016 I will be traveling for about one year. During this time I would love to visit and discover new places, to learn a lot about new countries, its people, its culture, its history, its nature, ... and in my point of view the best way for doing so is to volunteer.
I'm highly impressed by inspiring ideas and sustainable ways of living, by enthusiastic people, by amazing landscapes, ...
Therefore, I'm really eager to support you and your project and to work together which is hopefully for the benefit of the both of us as I would love to learn a lot, e.g. about local agriculture, local options of traditional or enviornmentally friendly building, ... but also about your way of living, the region, .... So, I would prefer a 2 to 4 weeks stay, hoping, that this would suit your plans.
Doing hard work or learning sth. new is just fine with me (I have to admit that actually I enjoy that much more than the opposite).
Additionally, I would love to learn more about the country and to improve my English, French, and Spanish speaking abilities.
