Our volunteers

Miguel Garraleta

I´m Miguel, I´m from Logroño, a city in the north of Spain. I will be a EVS volunteer for one year at Elsas Hus in Linköping. I like a lot of things but mainly punk, hiking, mountain bike, graphic art and also skateboarding but my ankles are messed up so no more skate for me :( . I Hope I will be able to stand the cold swedish weather. I´m doing my best with swedish language but it is tricky for me. EVS is a very good opportunity to travel to meet new people to learn a lot of new interesting things. I´m really ejoying this experience.



Moritz Standke

Hej! I'm from Berlin, Germany and 19 years old. I'm doing EVS for one year from September 2012 on at Elsas Hus here in Linköping, Sweden. I have been interested in Scandinavian countries for some years and so I decided to do EVS after school because I'm always curious about different cultures and really like to travel.
I chose Sweden as my host country because I like nature and Sweden seems to be a friendly country to me. I expect from EVS to develop my personality,  to meet a lot of new people and to get to know Sweden not only as a tourist but more detailed. I also like the Swedish language and I think the best way to learn a language is to go to the country where it is spoken.


Nadja Pavlovic

I'm Nadja, a 22 years old girl from Sweden. I'm crative, positive with a big pasion for humanitary work. I got to know about EVS and decided to talk a bit with the volunteers at Elsas hus. And here I am, volunteering in Croatia. I'm in a town called Osijek, it is the Slavonian part of Croatia, it's close to Serbian, Hungarian and Bosnian border, and it's just beautifull, full of culture and history! I'm doing a lot of different projects over here. Mostly I'm working with kids, in kindergarten, teaching them english, having workshops, painting childrenshospital, working in a youth club. I got a project with creative writing for kids with comunication disabillities and exhibitions about differences etc. I live in a house full of volunteers from across all of europe. I just love it! My sending organization and Anja have been great and suportive in all ways, I feel secure having them as sending organization! I've been in Croatia as an EVS volunteer now for almost ten months, and I will be here for a year. Exept for all the work I done, all the places I visited and all the people I met I really developed as a person during this EVS experience and I would recomend anybody that has the possebillity to just go for it! A great experience in every possible way!:)
