Description
Hi there! I am Charlotte, 23 years old and from Belgium. After finishing my engineering studies at university last year, I decided to do a gap year as I have always loved travelling, being in nature and discovering new places and cultures. About myself, I'm an active person, I do sports regularly (I do Shinson Hapkido at home) and I love music. I like many things, from partying with my friends to quiet activities like reading or game nights. I am an adventurous, uncomplicated and reliable person who can quickly get excited about many different things and who loves to try out something new. I moved out when I was 18 and lived in a shared flat with three other students for five years, so I am used to living with others.

During the last months, I did several workaways in Norway, Finland and Italy, and I had a great time! I met amazing people, visited many beautiful places and learned a lot by helping with different tasks at each of those workaways: I did some cleaning and cooking, helped with painting and renovating and learned how to bake sourdough bread. In Norway, I learned a bit about carpentry as my job was to build wooden beds, and in Italy, I was given the opportunity to work on a vineyard. I am particularly interested in everything that has to do with construction, building and renovating, and I would love to gain some new skills in this field.

My next destination is New Zealand, which has always been a dream destination of mine because of its amazing nature. I'm looking forward to meeting people from all over the world and to discovering this beautiful country!

More details about my language interests
I am German speaking, but I studied at a French-speaking university, so my French is also very good. I am fluent in English as well and had some classes in English at university too. I'm looking forward to improving my English and learning new languages! And if you like, I can also teach you some German or French.

More details about your skills
I finished my master's degree in civil engineering in September 2023 and decided to take a year to travel afterwards. I am a logical person and my studies at university have taught me to work in teams, to communicate efficiently and to work hard to achieve my goals. I am a quite independant person and very motivated to learn new skills. I can speak three languages (German, French and English) which could certainly also be very helpful in some situations.

I have a little brother and little cousins, so I have a bit of experience with children. During the summer holidays I had various student jobs, I have already worked as a technical draughtsman and in a secretariat. I am motivated, I work precisely and I can easily adapt to new environments. I do sports regularly, so I am in a good physical shape and not afraid of hard work. I am quite creative and good at photography.

I have already done several workaways during the last few months, where I did a lot of different tasks: cooking, cleaning, painting, building, helping in a shop and at a market, pruning grapes on a vineyard,... I am a quick learner and always happy to learn something new!

I really enjoyed staying at Sanna and Ellis' place in Cheviot and had a good experience! The place as well as the surroundings are very beautiful, with amazing views on the mountains. The accommodation is quite basic but still cozy, I stayed in a cabin on their property with outside toilet and showers.

Working with Ellis was fun, the work was… read more

I spent a wonderful week in Raumati South with Karlum and her little dog Gertie. Karlum is a fantastic host, she is very welcoming, has a good sense of humor and can tell you a lot about New Zealand. She showed me a lot of the area, which I really appreciated.

The work is fair and Karlum is very flexible about the working times, for example I… read more

Charlotte has just headed off on her South Island tour and I was sorry to see her go. What a hard worker and very thorough. She cleared a massive amount of wandering willie from my gardens, weeded like a champion, cleared gutters, helped build a little retaining wall, and pitched in on the household chores. I recommend her to other hosts. She's a… read more

It was a real joy to host Charlotte. She is such a positive happy young woman. She worked so well with Brent making his tricky tasks speedy and productive.

Charlotte stayed with us in spring, when the weather really was not the best in Finland. She didn't seem to mind and was prepared for that. It was a very positive experience to have her living with us. She shared accomondation and work with other workawayers which worked out very well.
Charlotte was not only very helpful with our projects but also… read more

Charlotte was here helping us for around a month this winter with the renovation of dorms and building new beds. She came just when our season ended and renovation had started. She was working together with around 6 other volunteers as she was mostly found at the "workshop" building bunkbeds. About the work she always did a great job, and she is… read more

I spent a bit less than a month at the campsite in November and had such an amazing and happy time there! Tor and Ingrid are both very welcoming and make sure you have everything you need to feel at home. The campsite is one hour by bus away from Oslo and is located directly by the water. The whole place is very beautiful and the sunrises and… read more

Inger Anita is very warm and welcoming and has a lot of interesting stories and good advices about the region to tell. Her house and garden are lovely, and the whole landscape is just… read more
