Jaap

My status

Description

My name is Jaap de Visser I'm 21 years of age, and I was born and raised in Nieuwe-Tonge, wich is a small town in the Netherlands. I have a little niece (1'5) and nephew(4) and i love to spend time with them. I'm someone who likes to help people. And that's something I hope to do during my time abroad.

I spent the last 5 years working in a bakery, and in those years I've come to the conclusion that that's not for me. To find out what I want to do with my life, I'd like to get some experience by working abroad. In that experience I'm looking for a lot of different things, for example I'd like to learn a new language. But also I am interested in getting to know new people, and also I'd like to know how life is in another country, and get to know another culture. But one of the things I hope for is that I'm able to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. Since I graduated my education for working in the bakery, I've been trying to figure out what job I can see myself doing in the future.

In my spare time I do like to keep myself busy with sports. That is both in watching, but also in being active myself. Most of the time that is running a few times a week, but due to a injury I'm not able to do that as much as I'd like.
Beside that i train with a club that teaches various forms of fighting sports/arts. The first sport they teach is Kyukushinkai Karate, that is the sport I enjoy most of them. But beside that I also follow more of the lessens like boxing, kickboxing and yawara ju jutsu wich is a form of self defense. And when they need some help at the club I'd like to volunteer my time.

I've got five years experience working in a bakery, one of the things I've learned is hard work. I also have some experience in gardening, most of it is from maintaining my grandmothers garden for a few years. Even tough I don't have a lot of experience with it I do like to work with children. I am a responsible person, which is something else I've learned while working in the bakery.
