Description

Hi everyone :) I'm Inge (24 yrs old) from the Netherlands, and very excited to hopefully soon be participating on my first Workaway experience!

Friends would describe me as a enthusiastic, social, open-minded, empathetic, active and independent person. Though I would say I am an extravert most of the time and enjoy spending time being around other people, I can also really enjoy having some alone time!

A list of things that make me happy are dancing (I've been dancing since I've been a little girl), singing, being with friends, playing piano, being creative (crocheting, sewing, drawing, painting), being in nature, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin, having meaningful/deep conversations. The list could go on for a while ;)

I'm would love to have my first Workaway experience in Spain. Eversince I've started learning Spanish a few years ago, I fell in love with Spanish culture, food, people and how could I forget the wonderful sunny days ;) Since then, I've already spent quite some time in Spain learning the language and experiencing the culture, but would love to spend more time in this beautiful country while having an meaningful experience where I can learn more about topics such as self-suffiency, nature, gardening etc. I would love to learn about these topics because I feel they are important to learn about in a growingly fast-paced world which is centered a lot around convenience. I thought the perfect way to realise this was by volunteering, so here I am :)

What else ...

Some other facts about me! :)
- I've been living on my own for a few years now since I've started studying at university in the beautiful city of Groningen. Since then, I've completed a bachelor's degree in Human Movement Sciences, a pre-master in Medicine and last September I started with the master degree Medicine. However, I've been strongly doubting whether I want to become a doctor, which resulted in me taking a break from studying for the time being to gain some clarity about this question.

- Recently I've been becoming more and more interested in mindfullness practices, such as meditation and yoga. I love doing yoga classes regularly and try to meditate daily in the morning to start off the day !

- I'm fascinated by the brain and its function, so if you want to know some random neuroscience facts I am eager to tell you :) Especially the concept of mind-body connection is something I find really interesting and could talk about for a long time!
