Travel information

Description

Hi, my name is Bente. I've recently completed my Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture at Wageningen University, and I'm taking a gap year to explore New Zealand. I love travelling and am excited to discover new places, meet new people, experience different cultures, and spend as much time as possible in nature. My hobbies include painting, skiing, hiking, and baking, and I'm always keen to learn new skills, whether that's surfing or a new language.
I also have experience volunteering with animals and would love the opportunity to do that again. Overall, I'm looking forward to making great memories, helping where I can, and embracing new experiences along the way!

More details about your skills

I started volunteering at my local community farm when I was 10, where I gained experience caring for animals. Over the years, I've also worked in a bakery, helped with cooking, gardening, childcare, and worked as a waitress. During my travels, I did Workaway projects on a vineyard and an apple orchard, both of which I really enjoyed. Working outdoors is something I especially love, and I'm always eager to learn new skills.

What else ...

In a new situation at first I am a bit shy, but once I feel comfortable my funny personality shows.
