Description
Hi! we are Lan and Kit and we live in Berlin. We are both native english speakers with some german too. Lan speaks French.
Lan: I'm originally from London but moved to Berlin in 2013. I quit my office job a couple of years ago and am now enjoying life as an artist, painting most days and getting involved in fun creative projects.
I love being out in nature, wild swimming, hiking and skiing. I would say I'm an outgoing person but also really need my quiet time, to read and day dream about future art projects. I love living in Berlin, but really crave wilderness and a slower pace of life. I enjoy a range of things; cooking, baking, painting, ceramics, gardening. I have less experience with renovating and building, but it's an area I would like to learn more about.
Kit: I'm from Vermont and I miss the mountains! I'm currently studying film making and hoping I can combine this with my love of backcountry skiing in the future. I'm looking to spend more time in the mountains in general, and specifically want to train as a mountain guide. I have experience with renovation and general handiwork, and I restore / build bikes for fun.
Other things I'm good at which might be relevant for workaway: I've worked as a chef, I love animals and I'm tidy and like organising things.
