Description

Hi there!
I am an outgoing and friendly person. Generally quite quiet but will start talking a lot once I am comfortable or if its topics I am interested in. These topics are environment, sustainability, farming and ecology. I studied conservation ecology at university and help my parents on their farm in southern Namibia.
I love going hiking and walking and enjoy running, horse riding and canoeing. I find meeting new people and learning new cultures as a stimulating and valuable experience. I am always ready for a new adventure.

More details about my language interests
I think it is a valuable skill to learn new languages and in speaking the language of the place you are in you can immerse yourself far more deeply into the culture surrounding you.
