Description
Hi! I am Arne from the Netherlands. I am 23 years old and live near the city of cheese: Gouda!

Since quitting my job I travelled through Europe all summer as a private driver and tour guide. I've travelled a lot with my friends through Europe. I've seen a lot of countries, for example Iceland, Malta, Ireland and Croatia.

I’ve studied for four years and graduated in: Bsc commercial and business economics
Cambridge certificate in English when I was in High School
I love to learn. I am learning Spanish by myself right now and studied Management for half a year at the Open University of Amsterdam.

I've worked for three years in Marketing at the biggest Bike Store in Europe. I started as a SEO and content Marketer. Then I grew into a manamement role and worked as a teamleader for the Marketing and Communication team.

I quit my job in April to travel the world. While traveling I started my own marketing agency.

Arne stayed with us for 2 weeks in Dec '22. A stand out workawayer, Arne really melded with our family.

He also took time to engage and play board games with Sebastian, so… read more

Sebastián gave me… read more

Arne stayed for a week and he was a great help in many various jobs: pressing grapes, making wine and pálinka, harvesting walnuts, moving roof tiles, fixing things around the house, etc. He also showed his artistic, creative side when we were playing upcycling with old windows! :)
He is a kind, modest, creative, capable, adaptable, hard working… read more

If every host is like Hugi I would use WorkAway the rest of my life and never take on a real job again! What an amazing expierence. I loved how you could expect the unexpected everyday. Next to working on creative projects, Hugi also makes sure you have the best time possible :) I've learned so much from her open mindset and way to approach life.… read more
