Description
Hello,
My name is Elisabeth (Lissy). I live in Germany and am half German/half Dutch. I love learning languages and do speak English, Dutch, French and German fluent and have started with Spanish. I like working with people, especially children and have worked part- time with children as a trainer for athletics in our local sports club. I went to Steiner school for nine years and have therefore learned sewing, gardening knitting etc., before changing to an "IGS" school in Germany, and I have enjoyed my time there quiet a lot. In my leasure time I play the piano and like meeting with friends or doing sports. I would love to see more of the world, which is why I have joined "workaway" and hope to discover its ideas and advantages:). At the moment I am studying at the University of Konstanz in Germany and would like to discover other places and cultures during my semester break next summer. In 2019, I have spent a few weeks in South Africa and joined a language course. I have volunteered in Kenya and in Zambia and have loved the experience.. I care about charity work and am studying sociology and psychology to get a deper understanding of human beings and the world.. I would like to learn more practical things as well, as a change to the usually rather theoretical work one learns to do at the university. Therefore, to actually do something with my own hands or to help with something would give me great pleasure. I do not mind working hard and I am open to new experiences and to learning new things! I would be glad to hear back from you:)
