  • Description

    Hi! Im Mijntje (but Blue works fine if its hard to pronounce).

    I am a spontanious person and love being outdoors. I tend to fall in love with little things, creativity and adventures. Whenever I can I go chasing sunsets.

    I play guitar, sing and write songs and just like creating things, be it a mosaïc or a shell mobile. I get along with most animals and enjoy being active. I want to experience anything and everything, this year I have a gap year and will start university in september.

    I speak dutch and english fluently, am currently learning french and still want to learn spanish and as much languages as I can! I enjoy exploring new cultures and philosophies, so wherever I land I hope to learn something new.

    I am a bit new to solo traveling, september 2023 I spent two weeks in France, close to Lyon. I worked in two vineyards participating in la vendange. This was a paid position, I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. This time I would like to go a bit longer: about 7 weeks, maybe in the same place, maybe traveling around.

  • More details about your skills

    My education level is vwo- it's the six year high school program of the netherlands, voorbereidend wetenschappelijk onderwijs, which translates to preparatory university education. It can be compared to the honors program of other countries, as this is the highest of 3 high school options in the Netherlands. This september I start university, I am going to do the bachelor Science Technology and Innovation.

    I have helped people with training their dogs, did some tutoring and babysitting and have experience cleaning profesionally. I have worked in a restaurant/cafe and on festivals. I have a little experience with herding sheep and can ride horses. I like gardening and creative projects. I have also build my own bedframe and some (very easy) bed side tables from scratch. I have painted some walls and I am able to fix my own bike (I believe almost anyone can fix almost anything with some youtube tutorials).

    I learn easily and like learning new skills.

  • What else ...

    i really like movies and storytelling, so cinematography and books are a good way for me to unwind after a long day. I also like hiking and just moving my body in general: dancing, strength training, running and even climbing trees. Even though I feel most myself when surrounded with bird song and the sounds of the wind, I dont mind going out to a bar with friends once in a while! Or dancing around a campfire on the beach.
