Description
Hello!
My name is Vera and I´m currently 20 years old. I am from Germany and in 2022 I graduated from high school. After that I did a 1 yearbvolunteer service at a ecological farm in Estonia. I have taken a liking to northern Europe and and Skaninavian culture, but I have never been able to actually travel there (I hope this changes soon).
I´m a very friendly and outgoing person alwasy happy to meet new people and share stories. I enjoy the great outdoors and a lot of different sports like archery, hiking, climbing, skiing and ice skating. But I am also a big fan of TV series and movies and one could call me a bit of a nerd. In school I have always liked the sciences most and I´m planning on studying physics.
I'm currently working an office job, but while volunteering at the farm I have made a lot of great experiences and learned quite a few new things and I am looking to expand on that.

More details about your skills
I am a fast learner and not afraid to dive nose deep into a new challange.
In my last year I have gained a lot of farm related skills like milking cows, making cheese and yoghurt, working in the stables, stacking hay, planting and harvesting crops and even driving the tractor. I also acquired some basic DIY and woodworking skills. I learned how to cook large meals (for 15 people) and generally gained more confidence while cooking.
I have some experience caring for children (in summer camps) and have attended a seminar for that. I my last year I also worked with people with special needs.
I have basic computer skills and more advanced math and science skills and have experience in teaching those to my fellow students.
I can play the harp and a little bit ukulele. I also know how to ride a horse.
