Description

Hey,
I'm Luisa and I'm about to finish my Master's degree after a few years of studying. I'm now looking forward to getting out into the world once again and gaining practical experience in various projects before I finally start my working life and settle down. I also hope to experience social projects during my trip, get to know various people and become a little more hopeful about a future of solidarity and democracy, while right-wing tendencies and populism have been growing in society for a few years now.

My plan is to use my last few months as a student to travel and volunteer in projects with a sustainable impact on the environment and society. I am particularly interested in helping out and learning practical skills in environmental education projects, sustainable agriculture and social projects. Before my studies, I already gained some experience during a gap year, especially in the agricultural sector and in the hospitality industry. My studies in geography and sustainable regional development as well as the housing projects I have lived in have shown me that I prefer to be active in communities that are less commercially oriented and focus on sustainability.

I am looking forward to learning from others, to have some laughs together, nice conversations and, after many years of studying, doing some practical work.

Hope to get to know you soon!
Greetings from Brandenburg (Germany)

More details about your skills

During my gap year after leaving school in 2016, I already gained experience in various areas. I helped out with the avocado harvest, in B&Bs, with gardening, in the kitchen or childcare.
Alongside my studies in the last few years, I lived in a large self-organized student residence and looked after the garden, I also helped out at the local food bank and generally enjoy cooking for other people in my spare time.
During the last years of university I studied regional development, worked for an initiative that organized citizens' councils and learned about education for sustainable development, but that was rather theoretical and especially in the environmental field I would like to learn more.
