  Hi there!
  
  My name is Leny and I'm 34 years old. I love to travel and in 2019/2020 I traveled for 5 months around in Spain. During this trip I stayed with some workaway hosts and I really enjoyed my time there. Thanks to workaway I met some amazing, warm and generous people. Because I'm thankfull for the great experiences I'd like to be a workaway host myself and give other travelers a warm welcome at my place. After that trip I started looking and found myself a house on a nice, remote spot in the north part of The Neterlands ( Friesland). In the morning I wake up with the sounds of birds, during nice summer days I like to have breakfast outdoors and I like to spend the rest of my days outdoors in my huge garden and enjoy a nice fire at the end of the day. Allthough I haven't finish my garden yet, it brings me a lot of joy. The house could really be beautiful but before it turns into a palace it still needs a lot of maintenance. I planned to do it all by myself but since I underestimated the amount of tasks a couple of extra hands would be welcome and it would be much more fun to do some projects together.

  You will have your own separate room, with a single bed, a small sink, and a good wifi connection, so you'll have a lot of privacy. We will share the kitchen and the bathroom. I will provide 3 dishes a day. Breakfast, lunch of sandwiches and a warm dinner. I like to introduce you with some tipical Dutch meals, but I will provide verry different dinners. I have my own garden with vegetables. Unfortenately it's not allways enough. But lucky I work for a greengrocer so always fresh food :) It would be nice to recieve some local recipes from you too :)
