Description
Hi! :)
My name is Famke and I'm 22 years old.
At the end of 2021 I made the decision to quit my studies and start travelling. This resulted in me going to volunteer at a retreat for six months. My time there helped me grow a lot personally and profesionally.
After, I stayed home again for a period of time saving up, and I've come to the conclusion that it is time to get new experience again. :)
My time travelling has taught me skills like hospitality, working in / overseeing a team and working physically tough jobs.
I would love to meet all kinds of different people that I can learn new things from or just form nice connections with. I love nature, art, music, animals and trying new things.
I would describe myself as flexible, social, positive and hard working.

Besides that, I like working in the garden. I have some knowledge about plants and am not afraid to get my hands dirty.

I've stayed three weeks at their quinta located in the most pretty nature surrounded area.
From the very beginning til the end I've felt really comfortable at Ellie and Gijs' place. They're the best hosts you can imagine, always caring, friendly, warm, making sure you're okay and always open to… read more
