Description

Hi, my name is Loudi, I am 32 years old and from the Netherlands. My biggest reason for wanting to travel is to explore who I am, what is important to me, and how to live a conscious, responsible life and do something useful to help others. I want to see how other people live, explore nature and new places and cultures, and I love to travel and meet new people. I love the outdoors and you can often find me on the water in my kayak, on a SUP, or going on a camping trip. I am a certified Paddle Canada L1 Sea Kayak Instructor en Level 3 Skills and have worked both in floral arts and tourism over the past couple of years apart from my workaway adventures. I love good conversation and great music. I would like to learn more a sustainable lifestyle as well and I'm interested in people and what drives them. Learning new languages is one of the best things about travelling that gives you a little taste of a new culture. I believe in love as the strongest motivation for making the world a better place and during my travels I want to explore how I can best participate in that and to be inspired by others who want to do the same.

More details about your skills

I enjoy a lot of different things and I'm open to learning new skills. My vocational background is mostly in floral arts and in tourism/gastronomy, and I am a certified Paddle Canada L1 Sea Kayak Instructor. I have some experience in small maintenance and renovation, like painting walls and putting in flooring, repairing and updating old furniture and I once disassembled my old bike, painted it and made a new version of it :)

I am not afraid of hard work and like to be active, so carrying material around and helping in the garden for example, I always like to do things like that as well. I am a creative person, so I love to build or rebuild places and things, or to decorate rooms and make a nice atmosphere.

During my work(away) experiences I have worked with different age groups. I have some experience in working with elderly on a daycare program for people with dementia and brain injury, and also worked with children, doing creative activities, babysitting and teaching English.

My educational background is in Safety Sciences, and Visual & Performing Arts, and a little bit experience in Social Anthropology.

I absolutely love the outdoors, so most of my freetime is spend on or in the water kayakking and paddle boarding. I love to go on camping trips in remote places, and enjoy hiking en skiing in winter.

I love music, I play the piano and am learning to play the guitar. I speak Dutch (native), English and German fluently, and would very much like to learn new languages, specifically French.. I could assist in language learning if you are interested. .

What else ...

I am a person who wants to live from the heart and with love, and that is one of my biggest goals. My other goal is to explore how I can be the best person for myself and the people around me and what the unique thing is I can contribute to make the world a better place. I am a person who likes to experience new things, skills and sports and to explore the natural world and beautiful nature of the outdoors. By traveling the world I want to meet other people to share experiences and stories with.

We were very grateful to have Loudi at our place for a couple of weeks. Such a good-natured, kind and prudent person! She helped where she could, did everything to our expectations and just became part of our family very very quickly. Our kids loved her and they still miss her and so do we. Hope to have you back here some other time!!!

It is hard to describe in words how grateful we are for having had the opportunity to host this incredible lady. We can only describe her in superlatives like the kindest, most considerate, hardest working, talented and engaging lady you are likely to meet. We have grown to love her very much. An example of her unselfishness, is how she spent many … read more
