Description
Hi there! My name is Merel, 31 y/o Dutch girl originally from the harbourcity Rotterdam. I have been travelling for the last two years, working online and surfing. Currently I live in my van in Australia. I would love to meet some fellow travellers with the same lifestyle!
I am probably one of the happiest creatures you will find, and i love to sing, dance and make music, to talk about art and literature, to cook together and discuss life and politics. I hope i see you all soon :)

More details about your skills
I have worked in hospitality industry for a long time and did four years of cooking school. i worked a lot in bars and restaurants, and did a lot of big caterings (weddings, parties, etc.). Now I am a happy house chef, but can still make delicious meals. I'd love to help in a bar or restaurant, as long as i have contact with people (guests or coworkers :) ).
The last couple of years, i have worked as an eventorganizer and projectleader, in social projects using my degrees in literature and art (for instance in libraries, musea, big art projects, community projects). Here i have become a great organizer, good with people and volunteers. I would love to help doing some bigger projects!
For a couple years i have grown my own vegetables, so I have a bit of knowledge there :). Not on such a big scale, but i learn fast!
I have some skills in regular maintenance (good at painting, sanding, i know my machines).
At last, i would really like to learn some new skills! I can also make music, paintings and photographs but I wouldn't consider myself as such an artist. But I will gladly show my skills at the campfire :) :)

32
What else ...
A big personal goal is to become a better surfer! That is why I mostly travel to surfspots and I'd love to find a workaway where I can live and surf everyday. I'd also like to do motortrips and work on my snowboarding :)
Furthermore I make music (sing, guitar, piano) and started writing my own songs in covidtimes. I would love to spend more time playing, performing and writing.
And as last: I would cook together! Let's have cozy nights, with a guitar or piano, a game of chess, good beers or some amazing poetry.
