Description
Hi there!
My name is Bente and I am a 22 y/o girl from the north of Germany. Before starting my studies in the Netherlands, I travelled around the world for two years and loved using workaway as an opportunity to get involved in other people's lifestyle, make new friends all over the world and travel on a budget. Since I made great experiences during my last workaway stays, I would like to spend my summer holidays with a new workaway adventure. My preferred destination at the moment is France, as I have learned French for a couple of years but would love to improve my skills by spending time in the country itself.
I like to spend my spare time outside (surfing, doing yoga, watching sunsets, hiking,...) and I love everything that includes food (cooking, baking and of course eating).
Moreover, I am an easy going and always happy person, good with people and animals, I don’t mind hands-on jobs and you can always rely on me.
I'll be happy to help you whereever I can and would love to meet you soon!

More details about your skills
I have had various jobs ranging from working at a hops farm in Australia to waitressing in a hotel in Canada, which showed me that I am a hard-working and dedicated individual who likes to accept new challenges and to step out of my comfort zone.
My main skill is probably my positive mindset and enthusiasm for life :)
I am fluent in English thanks to my two gap years abroad and my international studies. Moreover, I can speak some French, a little bit Dutch and I am fluent in German.
I really enjoy everything involving food like baking and cooking and also love any kind of sport and activities such as volleyball, swimming, yoga, table tennis, skiing, running...
Moreoever, I am very interested in sustainability, which I am learning a lot about during my current International Tourism Management studies.
And I can’t wait to learn new skills during this workaway experience!
