Description
Hi everyone, I am Luca, 23 years old, from Germany.
I am an international student in city planning in the Netherlands.
After having a great experience with Workaway and WWOOF in the last three years, I want to gain more experience and help new places develop in 2022. During the recent crisis I discovered even more how important it is to help each other.
Workaway is for me a way to help others and learning something for the future.
I am an open-minded person who is looking to learn people from all over the world.
In my travels, through Europe I was already able to make a lot of experience in farmwork and living on different farms with different people. I absolutely enjoyed the many challenges and interesting experiences.
Some of these experiences I was able to put into my own garden in Groningen but there is so much more I want to learn about farming.
After my previous travels and studies I speak fluent English additionally to my German and basic Spanish.
If you want active and motivated help, feel free to contact me for work from the start of Juli until the start of September 2022.
I am looking forward to meeting you!
Best wishes,
Luca :)
