Beschreibung
Hi world! My name is Martine, I'm an enthusiastic 28-year-old who is ready to gain as many new experiences as possible! I grew up in the Netherlands, but after finishing my studies I started a semi-normadic life, living, learning and working as well as workawaying in many different countries. I currently live in the Czech Republic but hope to explore Poland this autumn/winter.
Random stuff I love: reading, meditation, writing, drawing, crafts, hiking, visiting new places, learning languages, chatting with friends over a cup of coffee or tea, boardgames (esp. chess and go), and much much more. The environment is very important to me and I try to live and travel as sustainable as possible (hello trains!).

Language & teaching skills:
My mother tongue is Dutch, but I also speak English (near-native), Finnish (unfortunately getting rusty from disuse) and Czech (beginner). I love learning a bit of the local language where-ever I go.
Other skills:
My family planted a 10ha forest in April 2006. Taking care of the estate is quite a bit of work - but it is also work that I enjoy a lot. I share my father's passion for ecology and forest management, and have tried to learn as much as possible in the past few years that we have seen our trees grow into a beautiful young forest. Taking care of the vegetable garden and gathering berries are also activities that I enjoy. I'd love to learn more about permaculture and self-sufficient living and found workawaying a perfect means for gaining knowledge and experience. I also enjoy spending time with kids and have had a great time workawaying with families.

Martine was a pleasant company to have on our homestead. We had good conversation and laughs. Her fantasy is rich. She was well willingly to try new tasks. She made her hands dirty by cleaning out our goats stable. Helped without asking in our household and took care with a lot of love of all our animals. Hope we meet again sometime.

I had an amazing time with Marc, Ana, Kyra and Eliah! They're a wonderful, fun loving family, and super hospitable. The 'work' was very easy (cleaning, playing with the kids) and there was plenty of time to explore the lakes and mountains surrounding Constantine. Thank you for all the awesomeness! I'm going to miss you all!

I did come in a busy and probably stressful time, so the work was closer to 7x7 than 5x5, so this is really a place for those with great passion. Sharon… read more

Thank you Martine! Martine is the best English teacher (and the best Italian student!) I have ever had. She is very patient and motivated to teach what she knows. She was also very willing to help me in every moment, even the hardest ones. I also enjoyed spending my time in her company very much. Anyone who will host her will be very lucky!
