  • Description

    Hi my name is Annemiek but you can call me Miek (Meek)

    I am really excited about getting out of my comfort zone and having new experiences in new places. My thoughtful, adventurous, and friendly nature coupled with my love of nature and animals, teaching creative workshops I feel would allow me to jump head first into new experiences and get stuck in wherever possible.

    A number of experiences this year have shown me that my happiness lies in helping and being surrounded by others as well as animals.

    I also love being creative in my spare time, drawing, photography, dance, yoga, jewellery making and hiking.

    The thought of travelling with a purpose and meaning in helping others and animals really excites me and I’d love to explore that experience in new challenging but fun environments and learn a lot about myself along the way.
