Description
Hello everyone :D
I’m Alice, I’m 26 years old and I just finished medical school in Cologne, Germany. Throughout the past years, I’ve tried to take every opportunity I could to go abroad and explore foreign countries, cultures and languages.
After graduating from high-school almost ten years ago, I took a gap year to go traveling through southern Africa and Morocco and joined the workaway community for the first time, working in hostels and a horse farm. I fell in love with it in an instant, since it opened the door to a whole new way of getting to know people and a country in a much more profound way than as a tourist.
Once I started medical school, it was clear to me that I wanted to repeat that experience, so I took a semester off after two years to explore south America and volunteer some more, this time in a hostel and a language school. Again, it was a lovely experience. Since I knew I couldn’t keep on taking breaks from my studies if I ever wanted to finish university, I also sought opportunities to combine traveling and medicine. I spent a semester abroad in beautiful Spain, and did various clinical rotations in Tunisia, Morocco, Spain and Mexico, which sparked the dream to combine my love for traveling and medicine in the future.
Now that residency is standing before me, I really wish to take advantage of the free time I have before that and go volunteer abroad once more to fill my head with beautiful friendships, lessons and memories for the years to come
