Description
Hi, I´m Yvonne, a 24 year-old social worker from Germany! :)
I´ve worked with children and people from a wide range of backgrounds in different settings, which has taught me to be patient, adaptable and open-minded. I enjoy meeting new people, learning from different lifestyles and stepping out of my comfort zone.
In my free time, I love staying active and enjoy weight lifting, hiking, swimming and making music. I play the piano and guitar. 🎵
I also have a lifeguard qualification and gained practical experience working at a canoe, kayak and SUP rental, where I have guided people on the water. 🌊
I´m a curious, hands-on-person, who enjoys learning new skills, meeting people and being part of a team. Through Workaway I hope to exchange experiences, contribute wherever I can and create meaningful memories along the way.❤️ -

I spent five weeks at the sanctuary, and I had an absolute blast. I learned so many new things, met so many wonderful people, and, of course, working with the animals was an unforgettable experience. I completely fell in love with the whole place.
