Description
Hi there,
I am Vanessa, an open minded person who loves to interact with people and I really do like to help whenever I can. Also I am reliable, organized, ambitious person who likes new challenges in live.
I have a weakness for good books or Books in general (huge bookworm) and the variety of nature and landscapes.
I grew up on the countryside of Germany surrounded by farms, so I have some experience in farming.
Also we do have some animals of our own at home.
In September 2023 I graduated nursing school, after that I decided to go traveling for a bit and collect valubale experience preferably in healthcare, working with children and social work in general.
During my work as a nurse I met a lot of multicultural patients and I really admire the
diversity of cultures all over the world. And it made me realise that diversity ist the only thing that
we all have in common.

I like to meet new people, learn new things and make some new memories.

I stayed with Martin the whole month of May 2024. I continued the work from the previous volunteers and I really enjoyed it. I have never started a project like this before, so I learned so many things on the way. My stay with Martin was really great. He showed me a lot of Harare. As a Hiker myself I also really enjoyed the hikes on the weekends.… read more

Vanessa is an intelligent, flexible, and hardworking Nurse. She volunteered at our local dispensary for a month (November 1st to November 30, 2023). She is great, punctual, and understands her tasks well, she also trained the pupils at school in basic First Aid,we will dearly miss Vanessa. I will highly recommend her to any host.
