I am a recent biology grad from Germany and wanted to get out of my normal environment to travel. That's why I decided to do a gap year working and traveling in Canada and North America. I started my trip in Winnipeg on the 3rd of November and have been there for the last 5 months. And after a long winter working outside in an icecastle (literally) I want to see some other areas and cities in Canada. Relaxing, having a coffee and a good chat is all I need to have a great day. I like trying new things, meeting new people and I don't really plan too far ahead. I appreciate all the spontaneous interactions I have with strangers when I am just wandering through a new environment. A big passion of mine is being in Nature. I love walking through a forest, hike or bike up a mountain or to paddle in a canoe, calmly observing my surroundings, always curious what I might be able to spot. One of my goals in doing this is to understand how everything around us forms one functioning system and how others and I are shaping it by our actions. The last 5 years I always lived in shared apartments or dorms. Being surrounded by many different people and always having someone to interact with is something I always valued. Sharing Ideas and helping out whenever it might be needed is one part of a functioning living community and I hope that I can lend a helping hand to you, your community or Family.
