Milan Maushart
EVS Volunteer

Born in 1997, I’ve just finished school in Germany and now I’m here with IYNF to acquire some experiences before I go to the university.

I’ve been an active member of the Naturefriends Hesse in Germany since 2013 and they inspired me through my time at school. I learned a lot about environment protection and political ideas. Therefore I became a vegetarian and since summer 2016 I’ve been even a vegan. It is important for me to understand the value of every tiny decision you make, especially in a food market. So this EVS is a great opportunity for me to get inspired, make a difference and maybe I can inspire people contributing to this great network.

In my free time, I prefer to read good books, to be up on stage or watch and read theater plays, play table tennis, do some other sports and I also love to listen to music and go to concerts. Sometimes I prefer a good movie and the couch instead of going on a trip, but in general, I am a very adventurous person always looking for the next adventure, new cities, new people, exciting experiences. That is why it is important for me to be open minded, flexible and to always try to make people smile.

I think a quote from the doctor from “Doctor Who” summarizes that very well: “I try never to understand. It’s called an open mind.”
