Description
Hi there!

My name is Fleur and I come from a small town in The Netherlands. I am 19 years old and I have lived on a farm my whole life, so I'm used to being around animals and helping at home. I grew up in a big family (bigger than you'd think), so I can get along well with all kinds of people and I love hearing everyone's stories. I would say that I'm a reliable and laid-back person, so I'm very much open for anything and anyone and I like to see where things take me.

I finished my first year of Hotel Management and found out that I want to explore the world first, which is exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm backpacking around Europe and try to live an uncomplicated life, in which I already got to meet so many wonderful people and have seen very interesting places. The list is endless, however, so I'm excited to see what's next!

I am very much a get-to-the-bottom-of-things kind of person, meaning that I want to know how things work and why they work that way. I like being busy, so I'm happy to take on any task that you have (even the less fun ones, they have to be done anyway)!

My time with this family has been so amazing, which is exactly why I will return this summer! I got here in March and they let me stay longer, which I really appreciate. In my time here, I got the opportunity to meet many other Workawayers as well and I learned so much about different countries. They have a tradition of making a typical dish from… read more

Fleur was SO great help for us! She is really hard working, kind and potite girl. She took really good care of Suvi, the house and animals. Never complained, always happy and ready to help.

It’s been almost two months now and I just left this place with the most amazing memories. I got here when Jimmy wasn’t even at home, which shows how great his trust in people is, something that I really admire. We travelled around Sweden and the amount of first time experiences I’ve had is pretty much uncountable.

When we stayed in Norrköping,… read more

We ended up helping Liv out with my host and the other Workawayers and I’m so happy that we got to her place. She got the keys of the house the day before we arrived, so there was lots to do. We emptied the whole house, cleaned everything and painted a lot. It was so good to see the progress and to make this place feel like home. The work was… read more

It was so hard to leave this place with the most amazing people. Leyilah made me feel so much at home from the very beginning and she always made sure that I was okay. When you talk to her, you’ll hear so many great stories about anything and she’s very interested in hearing your own stories as well. She’s an amazing cook and very relaxed about… read more

Fleur is the sweetest, coolest, nicest, most wonderful person... We've had the honor of having Fleur here for a month and omg she's helped us so much with so many things.
She's always so positive and seems to always be cheerful and in a good mood, a very balanced young woman I must say. She always gives herself 100% and she's extremely hard… read more working (here's a lot of freedom so it's up to the workawayers to put into it what they can and want, and Fleur always put a lot into helping a lot).
Fleur is a shining star, I really hope she gets all her wishes fulfilled, because she really works hard to make others happy.
She played a lot with my 9 year old daughter and again she gave herself 100% into that, my daughter and I will miss her so much. She's a really good singer as well and they improvised songs and dances in so much ecstatic joy. Fleur also picked up my daughter from school quite some times, which my daughter loved and they stopped on the playground on the way to play, Fleur always seems to be up for playing. Even at the after school daycare they had such a good impression of Fleur, no wonder why. She went ice scating with my daughter and us a couple of times, she's such a sport, very much up for adventures but always with both feet on the ground and always wanting to be supportive of my daughter. ❤️ ❤️
Fleur also helped in sewing a dress, she helped with a lot of cleaning always with good energy and good mood, even though it was a lot of cleaning of my boyfriends old flat, she's really thorough and good at it, and she helped a lot also in the moving process.
She speaks really good English, she sounds like she's from England. She's very easy to understand, and she understands everything very easily, she even very fast picked up on Danish, which my mother kept talking to her, when she was visiting to help teach us how to sew from a pattern, Fleur understood all the Danish instructions from my mom without even questioning anything.
Fleur is a team player, she has a high intelligence and also very high social and emotional intelligence, which we enjoyed a lot.
She got very well along with our 2 other workawayers, who I'm sure really enjoyed her presence here a lot. They socialized a lot.
Thank you Fleur, you really made a mark in our hearts being so much you in such an amazing way.
In the beginning I kept seeing you as a famous actress, I think you can do and become exactly what you want in life, you've so many talents and your energy is just very special.
You're always more than welcome back. And I really hope we meet you again and so does my daughter, of course. ❤️ Thank you for your openness and your friendship. ❤️
I'm so grateful we got to meet you. Please take really good care of yourself. ❤️

It was wonderful to host Fleur, she fit in seamlessly into our family, was proactive and always happy to help, the kitchen was always spotless at the end of the day, even on her days off. She had a great attitude and was great with our girls (5 & 3) they loved playing with her and she struck the perfect balance between being fun and keeping them… read more

Even though my stay with Fi, Ben and the girls was short, it was really great and I learned a lot! I stayed there with another girl and together we divided our time taking care of the kids. The ‘work’ we did, didn’t even feel like work at all because Pippa and Emmie are very sweet, happy and fun to play with. I’ll definitely miss them!

Fleur was a pleasure to host, always cheerful and willing to help. She was involved in numerous different tasks and always worked hard in a conscientious way. I would not hesitate to recommend her. All the very best to you Fleur.

My stay with Sheila and Rob was great and I’d definitely recommend going here! I spent almost three weeks in Rutland with two other really sweet volunteers and it was so nice to get to know them as well. We worked from 9 to 2 each day with a break in between and it was not a problem to change our days off, as the buses don’t run on Sundays. The… read more

Fleur is an excellent and delightful Workawayer. She is happy, kind, helpful, considerate, and a generally lovely person to be around. She did all the tasks asked of her and was always glad to help around the house and garden, usually doing more than was required. We would be glad to welcome her back anytime.

I’ve stayed with Andy for 11 days and I had the best time (and a hard time leaving). It was my first Workaway experience and I’m more than happy to have spent it there. I didn’t meet Katt, as she was away while I was staying, but Andy and I spent a lot of time together on many road trips and drinking cocktails at home. We became really close and I… read more
