  • Description

    Traveling has been on my mind ever since I can remember. School was very stressful but the idea of traveling after made me go through. In the two gap years i took i was so fortunate to be able to travel to Portugal, do a workaway in Egypt and travel through Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. I've met so many people with different stories and the feeling of fulfilment that gave me was overwhelming.
    I really want to be more independent and find out what I'm capable of. And I feel like the best way to do that is to experience new things and listen to other people and their experiences: to broaden my horizon and seek discomfort.
    Sometimes I can be a little naïve in my way of thinking, which can be both positive and negative. It limits me from looking at things realistically, but it also stops me from limiting myself in a lot of things. I won't say no to an adventure that easily :)

  • More details about your skills

    I can speak English and Dutch fluently, a bit of French and just as much German. I'm very open to learning new languages as I go, mainly to be able to connect with as many people as possible.
    I'm good with children and can very easily make conversation and make other people feel at ease. I've worked in a restaurant for 3 years so to be in contact with customers/clients/visitors would not be a problem for me.
    I have a little experience with gardening, not much I must say, but I would be very excited to learn more! Just the same with cooking, I can do the basics but there's always room for more skills.
    I like rearranging rooms, painting walls and organizing, and I can repair phones if that might be of any use too :)

  • What else ...

    I'm good with animals and really like caring for them. Painting is something I really enjoy, alongside doing my research about art. I'm also really interested in just learning, learning about history and physics, anything really. Currently i'm just about to start my second year in Psychology, in Groningen. I hope I have not been to vague, there's just too much to say about someone in such little space, so we might just have to meet up in person :)
