Description

Hello, my name is Julie (:

I'm a journalism student from Brussels, Belgium, with a big heart for traveling and discovering and finding stories everywhere. I love Workaway because it gives the opportunity for genuine international connection. Last year I took a gap year between my history bachelors and journalism masters and I Workawayed in Italy on self-sufficient farms. These experiences were priceless and taught me much about sustainable farming. I also learned to value more living in community style and now think this is really the way to go.

This year I'm studying again, but when I can I want to work outside in beautiful places.
