Description
Hello :) my name is Lina and I´m from Berlin. I am planning to travel for a year to get to know new people and see new places.
I´ve been living in a big city for all my life. On one hand this led to meeting people from all over the world, which made me curious to experience some of those cultures as well. On the other hand I never got to experience nature as much as I wanted to. I love to take long walks with my family and friends in Berlins rural areas and go for a swim. However, now I would really love it, if I didn´t have to drive for a full hour to be in nature.
I also love a lot of simple things like baking, knitting, playing cardgames, having long talks with my friends and family, cuddling my grandmas dog or playing the piano.
I hope you got a small first impression of me as a person and if you have any more questions feel free to ask me anything.
I am excited for this experience and to help you out as much as I can.
Best regards, Lina :)

More details about your skills
I´ve been voluntaring at an organization for childrens gymnastics for the past seven years and did an internship at a kindergarden when I was 14, so I know my way around kids quite well and also learned taking responsibility upon my self.
I´ve also always been a big fan of all kinds of animals and with that learned a few things about how to take care and act around them. The fact that I used to ride horses as a kid, as well as my grandmas dog always made pets a big part of my life.
During former workaways I got to learn a lot about all different kinds of work, like gardening, insulating, painting or small DIY-Building projects.
I am excited to learn a lot of new things and hopefully broaden this list more and more by next year.

What else ...
I am actually planing to travel together with my friend Luise.
We met in seventh grade and especially because our sisters were friends we immediately felt connected and have been friends since then.
We love to cook together and always try new recipes. However, to be quite honest we wouldn't recommend any of the things we made in the first three years of our friendship. ;) Nowadays we found our way around it and can actually quite enjoy our meals while watching the most cliché childhood movies.
