About Me

I am very open minded and outgoing person. I like to talk a lot, but I also know how to listen. I'm very curious about the world and I enjoy learning new things. My friends and co-workers have described me as brave and positive young woman. I can agree with the positive part, but I don't think it's an act of braveness to travel alone. I love equally joking around and having deep conversations about the society. I have master's degree in Social Work and I've worked in Child Welfare Services. Issues concerning children, immigrants and other minorities are close to my heart.

I've done one around the world trip in 2015 and I'm planning my next big adventure. I did student exchange in Seoul, South Korea in 2017. I'm heading out to Jaipur, India in September 2018 to do a 3-month internship in an orphanage. After that I'm going to travel in Australia, New Zealand and then head overseas to South America. All advice and tips for South America are extremely welcome!
