Description
Hi everyone!
My name is Nike, I grew up in Germany and in 2018 went on a gap year through Asia, volunteering along the way, which I absolutely loved! I enjoyed not just experiencing a country from a tourist perspective and "rushing through", but taking time and living with people just the daily life they live in their country.
Now I study social sciences in Amsterdam and hope to be able to also travel a little this Summer, which I have been looking forward to basically since I returned from my last journey!
I have worked on some farms and got really curious about permaculture especially and gardening in general which I hope to learn more about in the future!
I am fluent in German and English and have recently started learning Dutch. Besides travelling I love being in nature, making music, meeting people, engaging in discussions, meditating, going running, reading, dancing and cooking (especially trying out new dishes!) .
I am looking forward to hearing from you!:)

More details about your skills
I did some English teaching in the past and have done a lot of babysitting (besides watching out for younger siblings!) which I also really liked.
Moreover, I did horseback riding for a couple of years and like caring for animals and working on farms with animals/gardening. We own a nice garden, where we grow our own vegetables (tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes,...) and I have been working on some farms last year which I really liked. Now being in the city I cant wait to get back to nature!
