Unfortunately, a few people left to go back home for Christmas. 
But since it’s the new year… we finally have some new candidates woooo!! So let me introduce them to you! 🥳
First up, we have Maria (she/her) who is 18 years old and from Düsseldorf, Germany. She’s here to do some Work & Travel, but she’s only planning on staying in Vancouver for 1 month. After that she wants to stay in Canada but travel around for 8 months total – I totally understand, there’s just sooo much to see!
Back home she finished school this past summer and worked in entertainment in a hotel in Greece! That’s sounds absolutely awesome and it’s quite the change from summer/fall in Greece to Winter in Vancouver lol! So how come she picked Canada? The nature!! I gotta say i 100% agree! Canada is insanely beautiful and you don’t even have to go that far to find some super gorgeous spots where you’re just completely surrounded by nature! Her first impression of Vancouver is that it’s very beautiful and there’s already all around the city which is awesome – I agree! To me Vancouver doesn’t feel like a big city at all because it’s surrounded by water and beautiful mountains!
Maria’s hobbies include reading (her favourite is the Twisted series), going out friends, and biking. After her stay here in Canada, she wants to go back to Germany to study to become a teacher for English and Geography. Fun fact: Maria collects solar dancing flowers and get them from all the places she travels to!
Our other new ‘kid’ on the blog is Leni (she/her)! She’s also 18 years old and she’s from Cologne, Germany. Leni’s here to do a practicum in legal aid for 3 months, which is perfect because she wants to study law.
Like Maria she also finished school last year and worked a bit while also just relaxing and taking a break after school! In her free time Leni used to love playing tennis and dancing but unfortunately she as some problems with her knee, so she can’t really do sports right now. I hope it gets better soon! Besides that, she likes meeting friends and she has a cute doggie that she loves to take on walks! The reason why Leni picked Canada is because she likes the rain and colder weather – I genuinely can’t think of a better place than Vancouver for that lol! But honestly same! I really don’t like the hot weather except when it’s like for a vacation or something but I couldn’t live in such a climate. Lena feels the same but she’s actually going to Costa Rica after her stay here! Which is gonna be quite the switch lol but I’m sure it’s gonna be so much fun! While she’s here tough, she definitely wants to go to Whistler and Seattle! I really want to as well, so I guess we’ll have to do some INTERNeX trips there, eh? 😉 Fun fact: Leni loooves Christmas, she could literally celebrate it the whole year and she even starts decorating in October!
Well, I wish you two an amazing time here and also during your further travels afterwards! I hope you can experience and see as many things as possible and have fun doing so!
Toodles!
