Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Changing my view of the world every day a little bit :). I spent three years traveling and volunteering a bit all over the place - I worked in Peru, Scotland and Israel for some time and then spent a year traveling through Mexico, Cuba, Central America and Peru with my boyfriend. 2017-19 I lived in Berlin where I studied a Master's in Social Work&Human Rights. Now on the road again in South America. I started in Ecuador, currently volunteering in Peru and will head to Colombia at the end of January where I'd love to meet up with some locals or travellers and explore :).
ABOUT ME
I am a social worker, but have had the privilege to spend more time traveling than working. I love getting to know different people from different countries and cultures and their experiences and perspectives. And CS is a great way to do that.
Interests
I love eating, traveling, reading, writing, listening to music, beginners yoga and beginners everything related to sport :D, getting to know new people, meeting friends, going out...
My current main interests related to my studies but that have been carried into all aspects of my life are postcolonialism, anti-racism, environmentalism, feminism and intersectionality in all of it :D. I wrote my thesis about human rights violations and environmental contamination through gold mining in Peru.
