Description

Hi! My name is Nina and I'm 25. I finished a master's degree in languages (English, Spanish) last june and I'm not a part time barista in France. I dedicate my time off to traveling abroad and discovering new cultures.

I love community life. Two years ago, I've decided to take some years off to travel and I spent 7 months doing woofing in a farm in England. This experience changed me a lot and taught me practical skills as well. Most of all, it taught me how to live with people you don't know, adapt to others, take initiatives and to challenge myself.
I love to develop new competences : during the last few years I've done various jobs: cashier in an organic shop, barista and I helped regularly in a vegetable farm close to my house.

I love finding myself in full nature. I spend every summer hiking in the mountain, that's where I feel best. The reason I love traveling through volunteering is the direct contact it gives you with the country, a sentiment to be part of it, and the opportunity to meet people you wouldn't have met otherwise. I find joy in human contact.

I'm really excited to learn new skills (I would love to learn more about taking care of animals) and meet people. I would love to approach new languages as well.

More details about your skills

I love DIY and working outside. I got some skills in woodworking, gardening and cooking and I'll be more than happy to learn.

I like physical work and I'm not afraid of difficult weather conditions. In England, I have dug paths, installed new fences and repare others, created small walls with concrete and stones, repointed a wall and poured a concrete slab. I've also done various DIY jobs and taken care of the chickens of the farm for 7 months. 
I lime washed some exteriors walls in the family house and filled the garden with palet wood furnitures ^^.
I do the harvests every years in my region and I regularly help in a vegetable farm next to my house.
I recently had my driving license but I'm not a confident driver.
