Help building a home while enjoying the sun, some good food and lovely company. That would pretty much sum up a perfect day for me. :)
Description
After my first Workaway experience in May 2023, I made the decision to quit my job as an academic teacher and leave for a while. I love working outdoors and feeling the strain on my body after a day of work.
I was brought up in a small village in the South of the Netherlands, where my parents own a hardware store and a small construction company. All next door to the house, so the smell of freshly cut wood instantly feels home to me.
For the last few years I have been doing some DIY projects in my house and I love it. I love creating something that wasn’t there before. Thinking about how to go about it and, of course, working with power tools. And I would love to learn more. Also, tidying, organizing and doing laundry are things that I love to do, as well as cooking. It’s like my little zen-world. :)
If you feel like I could be a nice addition to your team, feel free to contact me!

More details about your skills
I like working in a team of like-minded people and learning new skills. For me, organising and planning come as a second nature. I take initiative and think fast. Which also means that I like to voice my ideas or suggestions and ask a lot of questions to understand the process and choices made. (always in a respectful and constructive way). My hands are never idle. Don't like doing dishes, but love to do laundry and tidying up.

What else ...
My guilty pleasures are country music, Agatha Christie books and fish fingers. Apparently I have no real talent for sports or anything else that requires a competitive nature. And I love a picknick. :)
