Activities i am interested in:

Newly on Workaway to spend the next few months connecting & helping in communities/NGO's/other. Care about the basics such as hard work, good chats, laughter & learning. I have a (small) campervan.

Description

I'm pragmatic, curious, and love new challenges outside, rolling up the sleeves to get work done and being part of a community. I value working at the basics of life, making space for creating the deeper meaning together.

I've always done a lot of volunteer work, such as boy/girl scouts, wildlife care, music photography and organising educational events for children and adults (about the brain). I studied psychology and worked mainly in government, health & safety sector. Now trying to live a life without screens.

The most pleasure I get out of making long hikes, preferably with some mountains and trees around.This year I got my dream campervan. Being outside, making a campfire, cracking jokes and having good conversations.

Want to be part of a rhythm, with space for fun, effort and fresh air.

Random skills:
- Playing the drums
- Have been an outdoor guide for packrafting
- Photography
- Making fires
- Neuropsychology
