    𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬
    I'm an openminded, respectful and calm person. Looking for opportunities to meet new people, cultures and help people at the same time. 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵.... 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘴 😻.


    I graduated in biology and specialized in science communication. My last job was in a factory, because I also love working with industrial equipment. It helps quiet my mind.

    I've worked as a (deep)cleaner, kitchen worker, production worker, laboratory technician, pet sitter, travelled with lonely elderly, helped regional broadcasters and more.

    𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝟭: people tell me I have the personality of a cat. Adventurous, curious and creating deep connections with the right people.

    𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝟮: Friends know me as "cake monster" because I love cake, so if anyone wants to teach me new recipes that would be amazing!

    I'm interested in anything 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆, 𝗮𝗿𝘁, and 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 in general. You don't need to entertain me. Day and night I can find things to enjoy by myself. But I'd really like to get to know 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 as well.

    𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗱 is one of my biggest goals for this trip 👩🏼‍🏭

    Would love to gain more 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝘁/𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 and 𝘀𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 experience as well.
