Description
Hi, my name is Jolien and I’m 26 years old. I grew up in the Netherlands with a never-ending eager to visit other countries. I have studied photography for three years, after which I traveled to India to complete a 200hrs Hatha Yoga Teacher Training. Back at home, I continued giving classes in my university to students and at the local gym. Then I started the study Tourism Management, specialising in Health & Wellbeing. After these studies, I worked at a travel agency and at the front office in a hotel in Amsterdam.

Interested in places that can help me grow, feel good, and learn more about the spanish language, giving yoga classes, develop myself, use my eyes to take great photos, wellness(tourism), retreats, workshops, organising, or other (sport) activities and writing.

Julien staid at my place for almost 2 weeks together with Kai. They were a super lovely couple and I enjoyed their stay a lot. They both worked hard every day and helped me with sanding and painting a new cabin and also doing fire wood. They are fun and interesting to have around. I wish them the very best and hope they'll continue to have a good… read more

My boyfriend and I stayed for one week at Rudi's place - or to formulate it better, his magical hidden spot and palace in the forest 🌳. If you don't see the fence you'll miss the doorway to his property which creates the tunnel that takes you there.

The work was well doable, serving beeakfast/lunch/diner and sometimes checking guests in, guiding them to their house. Here, they were flexible and the hours were fine. Another plus is the garden if you’re interested in local food, and the… read more
