Description
Hello all! My name is Jacolien :) Just finished the studies of international development, that is about global problems and how people experience these locally. What helps is that I am a very social person, always interested in peoples' stories/experiences/perspectives. I am very fond of knowledge exchange and very eager to learn and experience different ways of living. For example learning about ancient plant knowledge or learning more about ecologically and economically sustainable ways of cultivation. To dive myself for a certain amount of time in a different life is very valuable and I would respect this experience greatly.
Hallo all! My name is Jitte. I have just finished my bachelor in Biology and I'm crazy about nature and every breathing organism in it. Working outdoors and making/building/repairing things with my hands is something that drives me. Building up a sweat physically or mentally is never a problem for me :).
