Description
Hi! I am Suzanne, also known for being an adventure seeker. I love to explore new places and to get to know people and understand their way of living. This is why I value to get to know people from different cultures and to experience what it's like to live somewhere in a country, instead of traveling through the country only to tick of places to go to. Workaway seems a perfect place to get in contact with local people and to help with providing work in exchange for living costs. I am planning to go to Central America in November until early January to improve my Spanish, to dance, and explore new places while also gaining some work experience working for NGOs. I just finished a Master's in Globalisation and Development Studies, have experience with field work in South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Now it's time to explore Latin Amerika! Not only to learn Spanish but also because I love Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba dancing and I like the food and culture. I am a very open-minded and positive person. I would love to connect!
