Description

Hi there, thanks for visiting my profile. I've done a couple of Workaway adventures in the Spring of 2023 visiting France, Spain and Portugal. Getting to know these countries and finding out if I could live there for a while. I am on a personal journey to find my inner strength, learn new skills along the way and getting to know several different cultures. My primary focus for the fall and winter is on Spain & Portugal at the moment because I like it and the people who live there so much. These are my favorite 'go to' countries and everytime I visit it, it feels like coming home. I want to know if I could work and live here for a couple a years and that's why I'm travelling through finding out which place(s) suits me.

In the Netherlands I have sold my house this Summer so I am now a nomad 😉.

I am a nature lover, adventurer, love to hike and have profound conversations with people I meet along the way. I love to make music (drums) and to read a good book.

*** Update March 2024 - July 2024 ***
At this moment I'm travelling by van and or bike together with my travel companion Annemarijn. She is also a skilled worker and has been working all over Europe and India as well! We are on a mission creating a network of healing places along our way. We will gladly talk about our mission and vision when we will meet 🤗❤️

! Update May 2024 !
On the 9th of May we are starting a biketrip through Spain. Starting in Girona and finishing in Sevilla, 1800 km.
Along the way we want to work as well, so if you have a nice opportunity for us, please don't hesitate to get in touch!!

I have done a few courses in agroforestry and foodforests but would love to get some more knowledge about that. I also want to learn about alternative building methods.
