  • 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!
