Description

Hi, my name is Anna!
One of my favourite things to do is to learn new things, to explore and meet new people and cultures. This year (2022) is the first year I'm on Workaway and I couldn't wait to be a part of the community.

I'm from Belgium, and I speak Dutch and English fluently, I can converse well in French but I'm working on this as well as my Spanish.

I'm passionate about nature and would like to learn more about gardening, sustainable lifestyles, permaculture, animal care and overall broadening my mind as I discover all sorts of ways of living. I hope to be able to do workaway for years to come to work on skills. As of today I don't know a lot about gardening and DIY, but I'm definitely curious and I learn quickly. I have been learning a lot about whole foods the past year and immersing myself in where certain foods come from, and how I can live more sustainably and eco-minded, as I live in a city. I love to cook a lot, it's one of my favourite relaxing activities.

I'm an open person that loves to hold space for people and myself, I value boundaries and respect deeply. I'm already grateful if you take me in for some time in your home, I'll help you take care of it with as much love as possible. I like to have good conversations and to learn, but also like to spend time by myself for sure!

Other skills that useful is that I'm a beginning filmmaker at the academy in Antwerp. If you would be interested in making a promotion video of your location, how you live your life... I would love to help you out. I travel with a small camera, but if you want to use a more professional one of your own, that works too. I've also worked with children ages 2-8 at daycare jobs and I've always loved the experience. If you have kids it would be my pleasure to play with them and spend time with them.

Other facts about me : I'm 21 years old, I'm vegetarian and eat a lot of plant-based (based on the availability, there is no need to make special sacrifices) and I love to hike, bike and swim.

Age

22

What else ...

I have many interests/hobbies, current ones that include: music (i play the piano), cinema, yoga, holistic health, psychology, writing, playing board games!

Another note is that I have had a foot injury back in February. I'm far in my medic rehabilitation process, and have been working again for a few months, however I still stay away from more risky, intense physical activities such as climbing, lifting very heavy weights. This doesn't mean I can't participate at all, but it does require some effort, so I won't be able to do it for 3 hours at a time. Chores that I'm thinking of that I can help a lot with are: gardening, cooking, animal care, painting, general maintenace (cleaning etc.) around the house, ... thanks for understanding!
