Description

Hello everyone,

I am Efraïm. I am from the Netherlands. I love travelling, exploring countries, discovering new cultures and seeing beautiful nature. Currently, I am having some gap years after my studies in which I travel. In June 2023, I graduated from my bachelor of Human geography. In the future I want to continue with a master in human geography. I also am considering becoming a geography teacher. From November 2023 until January 2024 I went roadtripping with a friend through Australia. We also did volunteer work for one month at a nature reserve in Queensland. In 2024, I was in Israël and Jordan volunteering at several places such as at goat farm and at a hostel. In 2025 I went to Uganda to teach at a school. This was a whole new and amazing experience. Right now, I am still in Africa, currently in Namibia. I am really interested in teaching and working in nature!

More details about your skills

For two years, I worked as a student assistent at a high school. I taught various subjects to students of different ages, including Math, English, German and Geography. Often I taught small groups of 1-3 students, who were struggling with certain subjects, but I would like to take the challenge of teaching in front of a whole class. This I did in Uganda, and I really have gained some new skills. Additionally, I love nature and wildlife. Last November I worked on a organic farm surrounded by nature in Australia. I have studied human geography, but also learned about earth sciences. Therefore, I know a lot on topics as geopolitics, globalization and tectonic plates. I speak Dutch (My native language), English and German. I like to learn new languages, currently I am trying to learn some Spanish. Finally, I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world!

On our cattle station Efraim was always keen to learn new skills and followed instructions even if the tasks were very different from those he learnt in European farms. I will be very happy to have Efraim again!

After a long journey, me and my friend arrived at Ian and Paola's farm. The farm was located in the middle of nowhere, in the the Australian wilderness. There was an abundance of wildlife in the area. Including kangaroos, wallabies, echidna's, emus, snakes, kookaburra's, and we even heard Koala's! The accomodation was good; we each had our own … read more

I spend 3,5 weeks at the village in January-February. I was teaching at the school where about 100 kids attend school. I was teaching primary 3 and 4, mainly English and Social studies. I enjoyed the teaching and the kids were eager to learn. I did experience that their level was very low. Some kids could not even read, while that is one of the … read more

WOW! What have I spend a wonderful time here. This is already my second time I have been there. The children are AMAZING. They are so interested and so much fun. Literally everyone at the school has become my friend. Stephen and his family have taken so good care of me. The accommodation is great, as I got my own private room and bathing place. … read more

Amazing workaway!
I can only be positive about this place. Me and Thomas (travel companion) stayed for two weeks in Ezuz. Every morning we had to herd the goats. The herd includes around 50 goats, which is not hard to control. In the meantime we could enjoy the view of the Negev. In the afternoon we had to feed the goats. This was also a very … read more

I had a great time at the hostel! Me and my friend, Thomas, stayed at the hostel for three weeks. The location is perfect. The hostel is located in the old city and has a rooftop, with an amazing view of the old city! The work at the hostel is easy, and took us volunteers only an hour a day. We had to clean
