Description
Hi everyone! I’m Merel, 24 years old, and excited to start a new workaway adventure. I love being around animals, especially horses and dogs, and I’ve had that passion for as long as I can remember.
I’ve been traveling a lot from a young age because I love discovering new places, cultures, and ways of living. Over the years, I’ve lived abroad and moved between different cities, which taught me to step out of my comfort zone, adapt quickly, and connect with new people. I love trying new things, meeting inspiring people, and making the most out of every experience.
This year, I’ll travel through South America, and I couldn’t be more excited about everything that’s still to come! 🌎✨

More details about your skills
I have been working as a waitress for 6 years I started when I was 15 and switched a few times to places to keep up the challenge. During my exchange year I worked in a French-style brasserie, which greatly improved my German and English.
The last years I’ve been working as a kindergarten teacher for kids 0 - 4 years old and after school care for kids fill 12 years old.
In addition, I love doing sports. I am a gymnast and also worked as a gymnastics coach for several years.
Finally, I spend a lot of time at the stables. Together with my sister, I have a horse, with which we like to go for outdoor rides and occasional dressage or jumping competitions. Besides our own horse, I always enjoy helping others or doing some extra tasks on the farm.
