Hi! 23 y/o Dutch girl searching for paid work in Europe. I'm looking forward to: community feeling, nature, being social, improving my languages and exploring beautiful places :-)
Groetjes! MerelMa prochaine destination :
Spain - du Mar 2024 au Jul 2024 Voir toutDescription
Hi! My name is Merel. I am a 23-year-old Dutch girl, raised in a small city in the Netherlands called Woerden -we have very good cheese and an annual cow market ;-) - and earlier this year I graduated from my international bachelor Hospitality Management. Others describe me as a positive, genuine and social person with a love for houseplants, good food and singing.
In my free time I like to read books, walk/cycle -in nature-, cook, get creative, socialise and play boardgames. Besides that, I am an absolute foodie and want to become friends with every dog and cat I meet. The beach is my happy place and my Dutch heart skips a beat with every hill/mountain I see.
I have joined Workaway simply because I want to discover more places, learn new skills and grow as a person. I want to travel in a slower/more sustainable way and find the somewhat 'hidden gems' with cool projects and kind people that can show me their culture/point of view. Finally, my favourite kind of (work)atmosphere is the one you feel at small-scale, personalised and authentic concepts, with people who do what they love. That is also what I hope to find in places I go ;-)
My workaway experience so far:
- Painting/Sanding doors and ceilings
- Teaching Cambridge English to children
- Giving creative, outdoor workshops to children
- Office work
- Working on a Christmas marketCentres d’intérêt

Happy to teach: Dutch and English (I'm fluent in both). Happy to further improve: German, Spanish and Italian. I understand German and would like more fluidity when speaking back.

Open-mindedness, inclusivity, respect and positivity are absolutely awesome :-)
Finally, I like to say I'm both extraverted and introverted. Socialising and creating good memories together makes me very happy. At the same time, snuggling up with a book at the fireplace and nature walks are also a way for me to recharge my battery. I like a balance of both.
And who knows, if after reading this we turn out to match, hopefully see you in the future!
Cheers!
