Name: Tara (Tarasara) From: Sweden Job: Assistant Cook
How did you come to be working on Greenpeace ships?
Three and a half years ago I started at Greenpeace as a direct dialoguer. At that time I was a poor student that desperately needed a job. When I saw that Greenpeace searched for direct dialoguers I became very happy because I always liked Greenpeace and their beliefs and thought it was nice to combine work with something important. The more I got to know about Greenpeace the more interested I became and I took the decision to become a Greenpeace activist. I trained as a boat driver with Greenpeace Sweden and got totally sucked in. So when I had the chance to join the ship I took it and I've never been happier!
What do you do when you are not on board?
At home I just finished my Performing Art studies, which included singing, dancing, theater, circus and art science. I spend a lot of time with friends but I am also training a lot and trying to learn new things. Climbing and singing is something I do a lot back home. I do actions and voluntary work for Greenpeace Sweden. When I'm go back home from the ship I'm going to spend some time diving and try to find a job.
What is your favorite thing to do on the ship?
I love to sit outside on the deck watching the ocean with dolphins in it and feel the freedom that you only can feel when you're out at sea and only can see ocean wherever you look. When I get the chance I drive the inflatables. That and changing the world for the better are the things that make my life worth living. To just travel everyday and see new places is also a thing I love about the ship.
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Everyone would be vegetarian.
