I hope everyone’s enjoying the weekend so far! I have a wonderful new ‘kid’ on the blog that I wanna introduce you to sooo let’s get right into it! 😊
This is Carmen (she/her)! She’s 20 years old and from a small town near Freiburg, Germany and she’s here to do a bunch of our programs! She’s actually gonna document her journey here in Canada on her TikTok, so if you wanna check that out, go follow her @Camibiega !! First she’s gonna go to a language school for 2 weeks. Then she’s gonna go to 2 different volunteer stations, starting with RAPS, the cat sanctuary. After that she’s gonna go to a ranch stay for a few weeks to also explore the Canadian lifestyle outside of the big city. She’s super excited for all of the projects and she’s looking forward to exploring new things and getting to know a new culture! :))
Before she left back home she finished school this past summer and then traveled to Ghana for 5 weeks. She also filmed all of her awesome experiences for that journey, so if you’re interested, check her out on social media! 😄 One of Carmen’s main hobbies is dancing! She’s been doing Hip Hop and Breakdance ever since she was little and to her it seems like she’s been doing it literally forever lol! Some of her other interests are videography and photography, which is why she’s so passionate about her awesome content on all her social media!
She now chose to come to Canada because a) she wants to improve her English skills. And b) she looks forward to exploring all that Canada has to offer. Since it’s the second largest country in the world, there’s sooo many cool things to explore! I definitely think one one the best things to see is all the nature around here because it’s literally just sooo insanely beautiful! 😍 There’s so many awesome spots that are super close to Vancouver and easily accessible via public transit! The first thing Carmen noticed here is the water, which is quite different from the German water because it tastes more like chlorine. She also thinks the people here are very open-minded and super friendly, which I definitely agree with! :DD
Once she’s finished with all her adventures here in Canada, she plans to go back home start studying digital media and design. While she’s in Vancouver though, something that she definitely wants to do is go bungee jumping! That honestly sounds like a looot of fun and I think I just might organize a bungee jumping event soon, eh? 😉 She’s also really excited to go to the Rocky Mountains and she wants to see the local animals, especially bears and moose! Fun fact: Carmen has an obsession with key chains! She collects one from every place she goes, which is why she always needs a bigger bag to fit her entire keychain!
I hope you have an amazing time here in Canada and I wish you all the best for all of your awesome projects! I’m super excited to create lots of awesome memories with you and most of all: have fun and enjoy this experience! 😊
Take care!
