What else ...
I'm about to start university in October and before that I'm spending my time traveling and getting to know our world a little better.
From January until the end of may I'm staying in South America, and already enjoying it a lot! The nature is breathtaking and unimaginable while the people are the friendliest I've met on this earth. Those experiences can hardly be described in words.
My favorite activities are undeniably all that take place outside, whether its hiking, camping, canoeing, climbing, riding horses, swimming or just spending my time outside doing farm tasks, reading or sitting by a fire I made. I love to feel the sun and occasionally also the rain on my face and just enjoy it.
Weatherwise I enjoy the northern countries a lot and what others describe as sometimes grey or triste, makes me feel super comfortable. But the last 2 summers I went to Italy with a group of friends and enjoyed myself a lot too.
I would love to learn from people, could be directed to farm work and animals, since I grew up spending vacation on a farm with lots of animals as child. I specifically adore horses and working with them/ learning how to properly ride them, has always been a dream!
My father was a sailing teacher when he was younger, so exploring that field has always been on my list too :)
In general I'm a ambitious person, which makes me a fast learner and also wanting to be able to things on my own. That being said I love a good community to work/ live in as a team and to spend time together playing community games, cooking, going to a lake in summer or just spend time sitting and talking about life. -
