Beschreibung

I'm Carolijn, a Belgian Biology student who is currently living in Ghent. I think people see me as an optimistic person who loves to live. I'm an endless dreamer with countless pursuits that I can barely keep up with myself.
I love expressing myself through various art forms. Currently finding myself in the art of songwriting, with my little guitar.But I also enjoy painting and drawing, especially humans and portraits of interesting faces that I meet. As a teenager I used to dance classical ballet on advanced level. I danced different genres all my life really, and I once dreamed of becoming a professional ballerina, but I've since set that dream aside for others. Nonetheless, I still relish a good dance session, whether alone in my room or with friends at the club. Now I also appreciate the tranquility of nature or curled up on my couch, absorbed in a good book. I have an obsession with good Japanese novels! When I travel, I always make sure to take my analog camera with me, because I love the old vintage touch of analog pictures.
I started a bachelor's degree of sciences in Biology at the University of Ghent in 2019. I am currently finishing up that one and simultaneously trying to figure out what I will do next. I chose Biology because of my passion for nature, plants animals. I grew up in a small town surrounded by horses, dogs, chickens, bunnies,... always eager to know how everything on Earth works and interacts. Therefore I'm very grateful that I have the opportunity to study this matter!
I plan to travel around with Workaway for a few months because I intrinsically feel the need to take a break from studying. I aim to rediscover myself, push my boundaries, and cultivate additional layers of self-confidence along the way.
I am by nature a rather introverted, soft person, but I quickly blossom when I surround myself with the right people in the right environment. I believe that Workaway can offer me opportunities to blossom even more along the way!:)
I am a new member to WorkAway but I have experience working abroad with WWOOF in Italy. I spend my summer of 2022 there, at a little farm near Verona, and it was a lovely experience alltogether. I thoroughly enjoy engaging in these sorts of activities!

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I actively participated in a WWOOF project (Organic farming) in Italy last summer. This experience deepened my passion for ecological agriculture and sustainability, reaffirming my love for the outdoors and nature. That's mainly why I study Biologyl!:)
Back in Ghent, my part-time job at a vegan bakery involves baking and decorating cakes, cookies, bread and all the other vegan goods! I'm a beginner-barista as well, still figuring out the art of latte-art...
I can speak fluently English, coupled with a basic understanding of French and German.
Other skills I might offer are bartending, waitress, dancing-tutor, anything art-related,...
I love learning new things and easily adapt to different situations. People know me as a hard worker with a strong commitment to getting things done right. I'm up for trying anything new!!
