Description

Hey I'm Shanti a biologist student from Hamburg.

I have chronic "Fernweh". Fernweh is a german expression, it is the opposite of being homesick, you're feeling "sick" because you miss the unknown, different cultures and countries, something new.
I haven't used workaway so far but I really love the concept and I'm looking forward to my first stay! This year I will finish my bachelor degree.

I'm a very curious, open-minded person and enjoy experiencing life in another culture. Furthermore I'm an extrovert, striving for harmony and bubbly. When I'm home I like to read books and to write poetry. I consider myself an intersectional feminist and try to educate myself about different forms of discrimination. I like to fantasize about a society with less injustice and a climate and nature friendly way of living. When I'm stressed out I like to be outside in nature and forget a little bit about our world. Moreover I'm eating vegan.

I Hope to work with you soon

Shanti :)
