First Step Abroad - The Team

Team Susanne

Susanne Logan

Managing Partner

Susanne was born and raised in Germany, but made Cape Town her home in 2008 after completing her Master’s degree at the University of Cape Town. Her passion for South Africa was already cemented in 2001 when she volunteered at an orphanage for HIV-infected children in Cape Town. This, combined with her studies in Social Anthropology in Germany and at the University of Cape Town, provided her with the opportunity to deepen the intense interest in South Africa and its people.

During and after her studies she worked in the tourism field and later as an internship and volunteer placement manager at a German agency. In 2010 she co-founded First Step Abroad - Student and Travel Placements.

Her continuing passion and enthusiasm for the country and its people, as well as the natural and cultural diversity, she likes to share with our applicants. Susanne will gladly provide advice on our volunteer projects and internship opportunities and help with the planning and organisation of your stay abroad.


Team Oliver

Theresa und Oliver Northmann

Volunteer Coordinator

Theresa and Oliver met in 2010 in Cape Town. Theresa grew up in Cape Town and Oliver in Hamburg, Germany. After living with their children in Hamburg for 6 years, they decided to relocate back to Cape Town where they feel at home.

Oliver came to Cape Town in 2009 and worked as a volunteer at a social project which was organized by Susanne. Over the years a very special and close friendship developed which led to working together. Theresa and Susanne have known each other since 2010 and worked together on private Township tours.

Theresa is happy to share all her insider knowledge with future students who are interested in the cultural diversity Cape Town has to offer. Besides that Theresa knows the best party spots in town.
Oliver’s passion is educational projects in Cape Town that focus on creating a brighter future for the younger generation, especially disadvantaged children and youth.

As your personal contact in Cape Town, Oliver and Theresa will gladly assist you during your stay and will ensure that you have a pleasant and enjoyable time in Cape Town.

Susanne

We have successfully placed and supported over hundreds of volunteers, interns and language course students over the last ten years. Seeing them succeed in gaining international experiences and adapting to a new cultural environment is most rewarding. It is my passion to share my own volunteer experience with our programme participants and to help them gain intercultural experience.

Friendly faces, open-minded people, beautiful surroundings, fantastic weather, great food and good vibes. If you can find so much positives over a city in less than five seconds that’s Cape Town, my home.
