Description

Hi my name is Annemiek but you can call me Miek (Meek)

I am really excited about getting out of my comfort zone and having new experiences in new places. My thoughtful, adventurous, and friendly nature coupled with my love of nature and animals I feel would allow me to jump head first into new experiences and get stuck in wherever possible.

A number of experiences this year have shown me that my happiness lies in helping and being surrounded by animals. This has resulted in me thinking of a job later down the line surrounding animal welfare and the protection and care of animals in need, I believe experiences around animals on workaways will be so fulfilling to me and help me achieve what I really would like to do.

I have been looking after a rescue dog once a week for a year now, by gaining trust, training and seeing his progress. This has been so rewarding to me. I love the idea that giving animals patience, love and affection they really grow unique personalities and loveable traits. I would love to care and bring peace into animals lives and give back the happiness they give me.

I also love being creative in my spare time, drawing, photography and dance.

The thought of travelling with a purpose and meaning in helping others and animals really excites me and I’d love to explore that experience in new challenging but fun environments and learn a lot about myself along the way.
