My name is Alisa. I am almost 20 years old, and I come from Finland. I graduated high school last spring and I’m currently on a gap year trying to figure out what I want to do in the future.

I do scouts in my free time, in which I spend a lot of time in nature. I love camping, hiking, and skiing in Finnish forests, and in the future, I would like to be able to do it abroad as well. I like arts and crafts and have recently taken up sewing and crocheting as a hobby. I also love discovering new countries and their cultures and meeting new people.

During this month of volunteering, I hope to learn as much as possible about creating the magazine and organizing events, but also about myself and maybe get some ideas for my future. I’m also excited to get to know Macedonian culture.
