Description
Hi my name is Lina,
I'm 19 years old and I graduated in 2023. I really enjoy travelling and staying in a place for a longer period to get to know the people and the culture. Volunteering is a great way to experience that.
I’m an outgoing, adventurous and active person.
In my home town I worked with an event group as a waitress. I worked for almost 6 months in a hostel in Costa Rica, for 3 months in the san blas islands, supporting the team of an island hopping company, for 3 weeks as a guide in France for a German surfcamp and 1 month on a farm/ngo project in Guatemala.
I look forward to get to know you!
