Hey I'm trying to improve my Spanish, so any speakers that would like to exchange languages, let me know ;)
Description
Hi there!
My name is Fleur and I come from a small town in The Netherlands. I am 21 years old and I have lived on a dairy farm my whole life, so I'm used to working at the farm and being around animals. I've got a big heart for them and spending time outdoors. It’s been a good two years now that I’ve been using Workaway and it’s given me so much. Through Europe and Asia in different countries and through different jobs I’ve learned a lot and met so many incredible people, which is why my journey continues …
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. The future is undecided.
So, what started as a gap year has now become my world tour more or less … After a year of studying Hotel Management I decided that I wasn't ready for university and said to myself that I'm going to learn in a different way. So now I’m in travel university ;) It's amazing to look back on the things that I've learned and I can't wait to explore more.

More details about your skills
Being raised on a farm has taught me a lot about animal care and creative thinking, in a way that we always find solutions somewhere, somehow for things to work out.
I started as a waitress in a small restaurant in my hometown a few years ago where I still work from time to time. I also write a lot, just for myself for now, but I'd love to help out in this area, as it's my hobby. Besides that, I’ve done a lot of different jobs throughout the years. Working as a nanny, on a farm, renovating and building houses, teaching etc. So if I can help with anything I already have knowledge about then that’s great and otherwise I’m a very curious person, so I love learning new things. Nothing is too crazy.

My stay with this family has been really amazing and I’m so happy to have found them before leaving India. I spent a lot of time together with Nandini and she has taught me so incredibly much.

We had a great time with Fleur building a Cafe on the rock facing the ocean. She spent time with us for a month in our beautiful island. She’s very independant, smart and easy going. She always love to try something new. Shaka Cafe with amazing Seaview and Lepak Pondok Beach Cafe now is running beautifully from her little touch while she was here.… read more

Fleur was the most loved and respected volunteer we have ever had in our school.
Her work ethic’s is a managers dream about an employee.
As a manager in a multinational corporation in UK, I would easily hire Fleur as an employee.
We wish her the very best for the future.

This school has left me with so many good memories and I’m missing everyone already! From day one they make you really feel part of the team and appreciated and I loved the freedom that was given. I was lucky enough to be here during some interesting festivals and the celebration of annual day.

I started my journey in India on Mayoor’s farm and it’s been a good place to integrate to the culture here. It’s nice to get to know so much about the nature in this area, as we’ve visited several farms and worked on the land.

Fleur was a good help for us. She didn't mind any kind of tasks and was always friendly.
She got along with the animals very well and was always respectful and open to the team.
So thank you very much Fleur for all you've done. It was a pleasure to have you around.
All the best 🐾🐾

On my way to the south I found Teresa’s place and helped out there for a little while. Going through Portugal really makes you aware of how poor the animal welfare is, so it’s beautiful to see how much work is put into this place to give these dogs a better life. I loved waking up being greeted by the dogs at my window and we got to help out the… read more

Fleur, where do I start. Fleur was a wonderful helper and an absolute joy to be around. She brought such great energy to the hostel and despite this being her first hostel workaway experience, adapted extremely quickly to what is a different environment than her previous workaways. Every task was completed immaculately and I highly recommend Fleur… read more

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.

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.

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.

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 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
