Description
Hii there!
I'm Irvana, a 25 y/o Dutchie who never gets enough from traveling. I enjoy discovering new languages, cultures and obviously the food. When I was 16 I did my first internship abroad and lost my heart to traveling but also to hospitality. Ever since I'm working in this field and I'm absolutely loving it. To give your guests the best experience, to be their home away from home and to be their friend when needed. The past years I've been working in Utrecht and helped with opening 2 boutique hotels but I feel now it's time to explore the world again.
I enjoy skiing, horse riding, hiking, yoga, cooking classes, surfing, animals, gardening... you name it, as long as it is outside. Love meeting new people and hearing their background stories.
I truly believe we as humans, are not on this planet to work 40 hours a week just to pay for our rental apartments and that's why I love the idea of a workaway!

From the beginning I felt very welcome. I ate such great food!! The dogs and horses are so cute.

I was there before the opening and together with a bunch of other volunteers we prepared the hostel for the opening.
It was super fun and the volunteers but also the owners where so nice! We did lots of activities together and we all felt very welcome and became close in such a short period of time.… read more

We were there during a Tierra course and therefore it was super busy at the Ranch. Prior to this event there needed to be a LOT of grass to be cut, which was a bit repetitive from time to time but seeing what it was… read more
