Surf Life Saver Profile - 44

Published: April 24, 2024

Welcome Karolin from Patrol 2 and thanks for sharing with us.

 

So, let’s get deep and meaningful straight up.

Q – How long have you been in Coolum Surf Life Saving Club and what motivated you to volunteer your time?

I started my Bronze course in July 2021. I missed being part of a community and during 2020 (Covid) my job felt meaningless.  I considered joining either the SES or Coolum Surf Club.  The deciding factor was the positive feedback from other Surf Club Members.

 

Q – Is your experience so far what you thought it would be?

It’s better.

 

On a lighter side

Q – Where did you grow up? (Assuming you’ve grown up) (NEVER!)

I grew up in Leipzig, Germany and moved to Australia in 2017

 

Q – What’s the best job you’ve ever had?

Unpaid – Organising student events (parties) when I was on the student faculty council in Uni.

Paid – I was working at the markets for a time on the Sunshine Coast which was really fun too.

 

Q – Any nicknames?

Karo, Kazz(a), K-dog

 

Q – Any Hobbies?

Reading, Weightlifting, Baking and I got into IRB Racing recently.

 

Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band

Queen, AC/DC, Florence and the Machine, Taylor Swift and lately I have been listening to Dua Lipa on repeat.

 

Q – Can you cook and what’s your favourite dish to prepare?

Yes and I like to get creative with whatever I have at home when I don’t feel like grocery shopping.  Creamy Cashew Pasta is one successful experiment!

 

Q – Final & Life defining Question…. Pineapple on Pizza, Yes or No??

Yes - (Yayy) but not in combination with Olives.

 

Thank you Karolin
