Description

-update 2025-
update for this year Im looking to work together trough workaway. im not exactly sure what im looking for exactly. But i work for an employment agency in the rotterdam area. But im currently staying with my parents, but since the travel daily is a little bit far im hoping to find someplace where we can be of help to eachother. I enjoy cleaning, and helping out in ways that I'm able, and I'm always happy to share what i know. but im also interested in learning new skills.
If you have any questions feel free to ask


-2018-
Hi, I’m Jaap! I’m 21 years old and from the Netherlands. I enjoy meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and helping others wherever I can.

I worked in a bakery for five years but realized it’s not my future path. Now, I’m exploring new opportunities through Workaway to gain experience, develop new skills, and maybe even learn a new language. I’m open to different types of work and excited to immerse myself in new environments.

In my free time, I love staying active. I practice Kyokushin Karate, boxing, and kickboxing, and I enjoy volunteering at my local sports club. I also like running—when injuries don’t get in the way!

I’m hardworking, adaptable, and always up for a new challenge. Looking forward to learning, growing, and meeting great people along the way!

I have five years of experience in a bakery, where I developed a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility. I also worked as a floor manager in a supermarket for 2.5 years, gaining leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, I completed a winter season in a catered chalet in Austria, where I improved my hospitality and adaptability. I also have a basic understanding of technical work from hands-on learning with my father
