Description

Hi! My name is Jens, I'm a 29 year old for the Netherlands. After a good six years working for the same organization I'm finally adventuring again (time will tell for how long)! It's great to meet new people, see new perspectives and be away from it all for a while! My plan for the coming year is to travel and volunteer at lost of diffent places, trying to figure out what the next stage of my life will be. Also scuba diving.
I enjoy musicing (both making and listening), long walks, boardgames, good company, generally being silly and a good read

More details about your skills

I've travelled quite a bit in my lifetime, picking up skills along the way. From painting walls to building basic structures, from repairing bicycles to caring for plants.

Back home I live in a communal household where I'm one of the financial administrators. Before deciding to travel for the first time ever (some ten years ago), I briefly studied to become a teacher. I love teaching and seeing things 'click' in the heads of children, but I became fed up with the riggid, one-size-fits-all type education.

Last six years I've been working as a floor manager and scheduler at a concert venue, with a few month-long trips inbetween to go adventuring around the world (usually to go scuba diving). Free time I spent making music as a singer and saxophonist.

Dutch is my native language, and I speak/read/write English fluently. I've got some basic German skills, dabbled in learning Bahasa Indonesia and I'm currently working on my Spanish.
