Description

I am Dutch but have lived in Bali, Indonesia for the past 10 years. I recently graduated and am now taking a gap year in Austria, hoping to make the most of it, learn, experience, and have fun. I am adventurous, and growing up on an island I have become very attatched to nature and meeting new people from different cultures.

One note is that I do not speak German but am fluent in Dutch and expect I could catch on quickly. And I have never done much of cooking on my own but would love to learn and get better.

More details about your skills

I graduated from an international (IB) school in Bali, Indonesia. I completed my biolingal diploma for English and Dutch. I have great interest in Economics, Maths and Pscychology.

I have lived in Holland, India, Indonesia and have traveled all over the place. Therefore I love entering different cultures where I can meet new people and exhange stories.

Growing up on an island I have grown a connection to the ocean and nature in general, and as much as I love being social, I also love being alone in nature and reflecting.

I am very capable of helping out in households with regular chores, aswell as maintanance projects. For example, I have previously done the whole process of sanding, cleaning and painting a very long porch in my house. I also have two very cute dogs that I was made responsible for, with cleaning, eating, walking etc.

I have participated in various communal projects due to my school. Some of these are: A 13km canoe race fundraiser (Row for Role), participated in youth-focused initative (Youthtopia), and beach / river clean ups (Sungai Watch). Aswell as helping out at my school with halloween parties, prom and Run for gold (A fundraiser for kids with cancer)

I love sports aswell, mainly volleyball and boxing and any regular excercise like hiking or swimming.

We were very happy to have Joep join our team. Although he is very young, he is grounded, attentive, responsible, and mature. He is hardworking, self-sufficient, and always happy to help wherever needed.

Joep is very helpful and friendly, deals with children very well - as he also has siblings he loves - and seems to be more mature than others his age. His tasks were done just as we wanted them to be done and he is very responsible.

Thank you for being with us and we hope to see you again soon :D

I loved it here with the family. The children are funny and great and so is Sabrina (Lily). I stayed here for two weeks, did some gardening, helped in a small side house with renevating and cut a lot of wood. I was able to work on my own time. I was always offered food and asked if I needed anything. The room is perfect. I learned a lot about … read more
