Description
Hi!
I am Sarah.
I love adventures and a good challenge :). I really enjoy being outdoors, sports, explore new places, meeting friends and making new ones.
(Based on my experience: a good challenge does not include working for very grumpy hosts)
some of my work experience/educational background:
Work and travel in Australia 2012/2013. qualified as surf instructor, travelling along the East Coast, surf instructing and volunteering.
---
2013/2014 on Hallig Hooge in Germany. Worked full-time for an non-profit nature conservation organisation. The job included a lot of guided tours about the ecological system (mudflats, birds, plants) but also typical household chores in the guest house.
---
September 2017 I finished my studies in sport science and education and danish.
---
In July 2018 I certified as outdoor guide. I worked as guide in Germany, Norway and Finland with schools mostly but also families.
