Before starting my EVS project ‘Volunteers in Parks International' in Germany, I was working in Romania for 6 years in the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection in the region I live. But I felt the need to gain more scientific experience from experts in the area I work in and so I thought I would like to have this experience within an EVS project.
