Activities i am interested in:
Hi! I'm currently looking for a host on Sao Miguel, Portugal to do volunteerwork from 15th of May- 5th June. If you're also traveling there and looking for a travelbuddy let me know :)!
Description
Hi! My name is Marleen (everybody calls me Marly :). I am 24 years and live in Amsterdam. I am currently working in a restaurant 👩🏻‍🍳 and studying Chinese Medicine, this year I will start to specialise in acupuncture. Before this I studied 'creative craftmanship' (bag/ hat/ furniture/ shoemaking) and communication studies in Amsterdam.

Some of my interests: I love to.. cook, workout, hike, practice yoga and meditation, study, read, travel, practice Reiki (level 1), take care of/ cuddle animals (I have 2 cats and 1 dog), learn about healing foods/ plants and herbs, spend time in nature, make ceramics (wheelthrowing), learn about Wicca/astrology/Chakras, learn new languages, hang out with friends..

I’d say i’m a friendly and calm person but I'm outgoing when you get to know me.
What I would like to do: help in animal care, on a farm, help with a eco-project, gardening, help with cleaning, childcare, cooking and what else comes my way. My main goal is meeting new people, gain new experiences and enjoy nature.

Send me a message if you're looking for a travelbuddy 🤙🏼✨!

Thanks for reading!

It has been a few weeks since I left the Quinta and I still miss it! I miss the peaceful nature, the cute animals and the lovely people who were around me. I spend more than 2 months at the Quinta, the first month I was cooking lunch for everyone 👩🏽‍🍳 and feeding the chickens which I really enjoyed. After that I sometimes left the kitchen and… read more

It was a real pleasure to have Marleen (Marly) with us for the short period of 2 weeks. She helped in the garden and with the cleaning and she was the first workawayer that could help me sewing new pillowcases and curtains at the sewing machine. She is professional in this and did a great job in every aspect.

I spend 2 weeks at the place and I'm so happy I could stay on this beautiful land. I mostly helped in the garden, cleaning the houses and the kitchens. In my free time I could work out in the Round House (there are yoga lessons almost every day) and I went to Lagos, barão de são joão with Melanie and we had so much fun. Thank you Sandra &… read more

Thank you, Patricia, for having me and Lian staying at your beautiful farm! I'm very happy I could learn about farming, animals 🐐 🐓 and Portuguese culture. I enjoyed working on your farm, I could also experience Portugese winter: sometimes cold and windy, sometimes warm 🌞 . You have a great passion for farming and the farm has a great vibe when… read more

In November we hosted Marleen and her travel buddy Lian for 14 days. First of all the quality of being able to work with the sewing machine called our attention:) Our second caravan needed some hands on, to prepare it for winter. So we asked these two angels to help us with this project. In the beginning we explained all the steps and during the… read more

I am so grateful I spend almost 2 weeks at Little Boomland 🙏🏼. Lian and I worked on ‘The Beatle’ 🪲 project: turning a caravan into a little home and sleeping place for guests/ workawayers. We were cleaning, painting (green, like a beetle 🪲) and we also started making curtains on Fransisca’s sewing machine. The work was nice, especially outside in… read more
