Beschreibung

Hi! I'm Karlijn, 33 years and living in the Netherlands. I'm an active and curious person, always in for traveling and meeting new people, but also good on my own every now and then. I love to spend time on refurbishing/carpentry projects in and around my house, sports (mostly beachvolleyball but actually all kinds) at the nearby beach, mountain biking or hiking in the woods (so sad there is no mountains in NL!), cooking and dining with friends. On a daily basis I work as urban planner and sustainability advisor, and doing some side projects like teaching and being part of a local organic food initiative. This summer and autumn I'll be traveling for a few months and based on a very nice workaway experience two years ago I'd love to spend my time largely adding a helping hand to a few of those many amazing projects or businesses on the workaway platform and meet some nice people on the way!

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I'm an easy learner for new skills :) Some things I've done more often:

- refurbishing/rebuilding: woodwork, painting (furniture, walls, ceilings, window frames), tiling, insulating, making furniture. In my own house I've renovated my kitchen, designed and built my dinner table, fold away bureau, roof terrace, built in bed with drawers underneath, floor, painting etc. At other houses I've worked on building a podium, some sewage things, tiling and isolation.

- I love cooking and baking and I love food from different culinary backgrounds

- I don't have a garden myself but help out at my families garden every now and then

- I was a volleybal trainer during my study time so I could teach/train or assist with training people to play volleybal or beachvolleybal, or help to organise events around sports.

- I’m educated as spatial designer/urban planner, teached a bit in sustainable urban development and can do basic graphic design or map/brochure making in Adobe Creative Suite (although I prefer not to spend too much time behind a computer screen). I can also help writing in Dutch or English.

- As a side project I recently helped a local organic food community with their future strategy now they are expanding.

- not an expert on bikes but I keep my MTB in good condition so could help a bit with bikes

- I speak English and Dutch fluently, and German and French on a basic level which i’d love to improve. I’d also love to learn a little Spanish!

- As a side job during my studies I worked as a personal assistant to someone with multiple handicaps (among which a form of autism and concentration disorder) to help maintain a good daily rhythm and do fulfilling activities.
