A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in.

Speaks
I have taken four semesters of German but my speaking, writing, and listening skills are still quite mediocre. I know enough to ask for food or directions. I believe with immersion and practice I could improve quickly.

Preferred location
I'm impartial to a location but would like to stay somewhere vastly different than the United States!
Skills
I've served in many unique roles through college. I was a biology TA, resident assistant, president of the hall council, directer of an after school program, as well as a mentor for a pre-med group. I've gained public speaking, facilitation, mediation, and mentoring skills through these experiences.
I also served as a hospice volunteer in college. The experience was life-changing and it prompted me to help start a course in which students would volunteer at a local hospice center but also meet monthly to discuss their work. I have a passion for the elderly and would enjoy work related to elderly care.
I'm athletic and would have no problem helping out around the house, on the farm, or otherwise!
Additional info
I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have no allergies.
