Description
Hi everyone!
My name is Marieke, I graduated a few years ago as a textile designer in Belgium, worked a few seasons in hotels abroad and traveled/workawayed a lot ( especially in between seasons )
Personality wise, I'm a true ambivert: I love more than anything to meet and get to know new people and have good conversations, however, I also highly value time alone and can be quiet sometimes.
Besides of that I am an open minded, flexible and ( super) curious person. I am calm but at the same time humour and having a good laugh is very important for me.
I have a high work ethic and enjoy putting myself toward a project as best as I can. I live passionately and mindful.
I'm interested in art, philosophy, movies and literature (fiction, non-fiction); everything that gives me more knowledge about the world actually! I'm interested in doing lots of creative stuff, ( i like to draw and make collages ) And i love to knit warm socks and sweaters as well
Nature is an important aspect of my life as well. I like gardening, being outside ( prefer mountains as we don't have them in Belgium) and hiking..
It is my dream, one day, to have a remote little house surrounded by fields/woods
and have a big garden full of veggies!
:-) :-) :-)
looking forward to meeting you all!

She is nice and very soft personality.
She stayed only 3 days but it was very memorable.
She took our dogs for a trip.
I believe they really enjoyed time with you.
She tried almost any Japanese food.
I know it was not long enough to know each other but I really like Marieke.
We hope to see her again.
