What kind of placement do you attend and why have you decided to do it? What do you want to achieve through your placement?

I attend a placement for landscape architecture / design in a non-profit organization. Because of that I am working in a park. I decided to do this placement since I hope I will discover the vocation as a landscape architect for myself. Hopefully I will have a lot of fun too.

Have you served any apprenticeship? If not, what kind of profession would you like to do in the future? What are your dreams and passions, your hobbies?

No, I never served any apprenticeship yet. I am still unsure what kind of profession would fit to me, so I would like to find this out. My hobbies are for example travelling, singing, meeting friends, skiing and swimming.
My life dreams are to live one day on the sea side and that I can drive down the American high way with some friends of mine.

Is there someone in your life that inspires you or is there any person you look up to? Why?

Yes, my mother. In my opinion, she is a very strong person; she is ambitious and she always keeps fighting against and deals with problems.

What are your impressions about your first week in London? What do you think about your workplace? Have you discovered anything impressive, interesting or fantastical you would like to share with us (sights, people, places, work experiences)?

London is so amazing! All people I have met so far here are incredible friendly, respectful and helpful. Moreover the weather is always great! At my workplace there is none who says do this or do that. None forces me. Because of giving me so much clearance, my motivation comes out of myself. I do really like my work!
I would recommend you to visit me at my workplace. Out of the park you are able to see the city, it is awesome!
