Description
Hi! My name is Fatima. I am a student living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. My first workaway journey started in 2018, after I finished high school, and I have been travelling with workaway regularly ever since. I love to travel slow, connect to people wherever I visit, and truly experience all the different cultures and places this world has to offer. Living in a city, my main travel priority is usually to spend some time in nature, reconnecting to the earth, and, of course, contribute a little bit to some of the wonderful projects that are going on...

To mention some more specific workaway-related interests: I am interested in communal living, self-sufficiency and permaculture, as well as wild edible plants and medicinal plants and herbs. These are mainly things I don't know much about yet and would like to learn, though I spent some time in (aspiring self-sufficient) communities and practiced permaculture through workaway.

I am currently studying Logic and studied Mathematics before. In my free time, I draw, dance, and practice yoga.

More details about your skills
What I love most is to help outdoors, in the garden, with animals, or lending a helping hand in construction work. Through workaway I gained some experience in permaculture gardening, and I would love to learn more.

I have a passion for art and creation. I have done two murals (wall paintings) in the past, for a hostel and for an organic farm. If there is any decoration or otherwise art, painting, or lettering related task to be done, I would absolutely love to help.

I love animals and can generally take care of them well. I have done horse riding (natural horsemanship) in the past and this is something I would like to pick up again one day.
I am always willing to help people learn Dutch or English - Dutch is my native language and my English is quite fluent.

Fatima stayed less than two weeks with us and as such we didn't have time to forge a deeper connection. What we saw of her though, we really liked. Easy to enter into conversation with, lots of interesting ideas concerning abstract things and very independent. No need to look after her, she catches on quick and pulls her own weight. Slow and… read more

We hosted Fatima for 1 month and she is a total joy to have around. She is soft and kind and smart and funny. She is a hard worker - though slow to get started in the morning some times, she is always willing to try ;), and if she is really enthusiastic she might even get up with the sunrise!
Fatima helped in a variety of ways, including in the… read more

This place truly is something else. I spent one unforgettable month here and I experienced so many great things and met so many amazing people. During summer, this is a very busy place, where people come together and share energy and ideas. It's intense and magical. I also saw the beginning of the autumn/winter season - which is a very quiet and… read more

Thank you so much Georg for hosting me and all the other volunteers for making my stay an unforgettable one :)
