Back Home

Grüezi metenand!

I'm already back home in Switzerland - it feels like I was only gone for some weeks... But after Russia and Mongolia it seems like a big green park where you can enjoy to go for a short refreshing walk in the well-kept green. It feels still smaller, narrower, neater and better organized than before; the realization of a small and wealthy nation... Yes, it's realy nice to have a home back here - but here I feel it more than ever: I cannot stay for long.

Anyway, I have to start working now - than we'll see further ;-) That means I have to make a traineeship or something like that for the next one or two years and than start working as a professional, ehm - I'm still not shure what kind of professional... But something with nature and outdoors, that's for shure! :-) The location doesn't matter, but as you know Switzerland is quite a good place to make money, so why not here..?

Ok, you see I'm not at all shure about what I'm going to do next. When I got anything, you will see it here.

In this sens - posmotrim!

Do skorovo!

Hello everybody!

Welcome to my blog about my European Voluntary Service on Kamtchatka, Russia!

There for I'll update this blog with photos and comments during my stay in Esso, the head quarter of Bystrinsky Nature Park, where I'll work for one year as a volunteer.

I hope to give you an impression of this exceptional, wild country and its people at the end of the world.

This blog should also be an appeal for our (the people of the s.c. first world) responsibilitiy to beware the beauty and diversity of our exceptional planet. If you haven't experienced it, you don't know which treasures it keeps which are worth to be saved!

In this way I'm very grateful to the Manfred Hermsen Stiftung in Bremen, Germany, which allows me this experience by supporting a.o. this project.

Let's keep in touch - write me an email or post a comment on my blog!

Yours,

Anna

P.S.: As time goes by like an express train, this information is already old and I'm back home in Switzerland. But I still feel very connected with Kamchatka and see it as a synonym for an adventurous life. So please take this introduction now as my life motto, as I haven't stopped to explore our beautiful planet, to meet its inhabitants and to learn from them for my own life!
