Travelling
My next destination:
Taiwan - from Mar 2024 until Apr 2024 View allDescription
Hey, my name is Mirja, I´m 23 and just finished an exchange semester in Taiwan. Now I am looking forward to traveling and learning a lot about different cultures.
Currently, I am planning to spend some time in Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand, but these are just some loose ideas:)
I prefer to stay in smaller towns or in the countryside, I like outdoor activities and I am quite happy if there are any possibilities to go hiking, diving or just enjoy nature. I would say that I am capable of adapting to a new way of living quite easily since I already lived in three different Taiwanese families. Furthermore, I learned Chinese for about 3 years, so conversations should be possible- but I would love to improve my language skills more.
I would be happy to just be able to learn about different ways of life and be able to help a little. Back home I used to do a lot of craftwork and took care of a garden, so I got a little experience in these. Also, I worked in the kitchen and the delivery so having contact with people is something I am used to.
But I guess the most important is that I am motivated to experience and learn new things and I naturally have a lot of energy.
I would love to experience some work at ecological farms or art projects, but I am pretty open to anything new.Interests

I got some experience with gardening and craftworks and I am motivated to learn more. Since I have a lot of energy I do not mind if work is exhausting and I do not care to get my hands dirty. Also, I am already adapted to hotter and more humid weather than in Europe.
I volunteered in the field of climate change; hence I gained some knowledge and experience in organizing. Furthermore, I was able to improve that knowledge due to my geography- studies.
Living abroad in families helped to to learn how to adapt fast to different ways of life.
I am able to speak German, English and some Chinese.Age
