Hey! I’m Ines
and I’m one of the new EVS volunteers in Kalamata. I’m from Austria and 27 years
old. Last year in September, I graduated from the University of Vienna, Zoology as a
master. Afterwards I moved to Germany, Stuttgart, to work for an animal welfare
organisation. Unfortunately it didn’t work out for me as planned and I decided
to take one year off, go abroad and volunteer. During my study I volunteered a
lot for different NGOs like Greenpeace, Global2000, Birdlife etc. Animal
welfare and environmentalism is my passion and that’s also the reason why I
chose to do EVS in Kalamata and volunteer for the Re-think project. I grew up
in a very small village on a farm and therefore I was interested in animals and nature since my early
childhood. At the age of 15 I became a vegetarian which drove
my parents crazy.
I like to go hiking,
taking walks and relax at the beach and go for a swim. I love to go out with
friends, travelling and having fun and I really like to read good books.
Furthermore family is really important to me. I have two sisters that I love
and adore so much. Without them I don't know where I'll be.
I got motivated for
doing EVS during my internship at Greenpeace. At this time Greenpeace hosted an
EVS volunteer from Portugal. I think that it is the best way to get to know a
foreign country and its residents and also yourself. So I’m really looking
forward to my EVS experience in Kalamata.
