Description

Hey I'm Shanti a soon to be graduate biology student from Hamburg,

I am on work away because I prefer to get to know places in depth, rather than just passing through. I want to learn from locals and really expand my knowledge and give back in return.

I choose Canada for two reasons for my working holiday, for one because I don’t just love nature, but outside is where I feel at home the most. Secondly because I'm interested in Canadian/North American culture, especially in the indigenous cultures and history of the Métis, First Nations and Inuit people and the ongoing impacts of colonialism on them.

I am a curious, adventures, friendly person that’s strives for harmony. I like to learn constantly about different new things. I am extroverted but I need more and more solitude these days. In my free time I like to go hiking, wild camping, read, write poems and other texts and work out.

I try my best to live sustainable, unlearn biases, create new ways of living and to take responsibility to work towards a world that lets all being’s flourish.

I hope to work and spend time with you soon

Feel free to reach out with any questions

Shanti :)
