Description
Hey everyone!
My name is Katharina, I am 24 years old and I am from Germany. I have always loved to travel, but it was when I spent a year abroad in the US as an exchange student during high school that I discovered that the best way to get to a know a country, the people, language and culture is to stay there for a longer period time. Not in hotels surrounded by other tourists but staying with locals. I think that workaway is a great concept and will help me meet new people and make some amazing experiences.
I am currently doing an internship and am going to start a master's degree in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science in Sweden this August.
I would describe myself as a pretty calm, easy-going, open-minded person. I do need my alone time, but I also love spending time with other people and learning about their interests, thoughts, experiences and views.Interests

It was my first Workaway experience and I really enjoyed it. There is a lot of work to be done, which was a bit hard for me in the beginning when I was the only volunteer for a few days but they… read more
