Description

Hi,
I'm Marloes, 37 years old and from the Netherlands.

I'm traveling through Europe for over a year now in my camper. The last 8 months in Sweden. This summer I want to travel in the Netherlands. I'd like to experience my own country in the same way I've experienced the countries I visit last year.

During my traveling I like to do some workaway too. Otherwise I start missing the dirty hands from the soil when you work in the garden. And taking care of the animals, not just the cuddling, but keep an eye on them and make sure they have a good day too.

I'm an easy going person, I like social activities but I also like to be alone from time to time. I'm a birdwatcher, and like to go out and try to find some hidden birds in the bushes. I'm a teamplayer but I also like to have my own responsibilities and organize them on my own.

I have knowledge and experience in the vegetable garden, cook with the vegetables and prepare them for storage. I know a thing about compostpiles and how to keep the balans. I've had my own chickens and know how to clean stables and such.
I'm not afraid to work hard, as long it is also fun to do.
I can help around in the garden, around the barn, kitchen, green houses, stables etc. I like to organize when things got a bit messy or chaotic (literal and figuratively). I have a bit of knowledge about plants in nature and how to use them to eat or medicine. I love to learn more about that. I'm very curious at visiting people and see how they find ways to live sustainable and self-sufficient.

Sometimes I work as a digital nomad as well. I work in IT for hospitals as an application analyst or projectlead.

The things I get excited about are: nature, plants, animals, vegetable gardens, horse riding, birdwatching, hiking, outdoor, off the grid, sauna, drink with friends, campfires, live from nature.

Hope to meet you some day!

What else ...

I'm coming with my camper, it's not a big one, 5m long and 3m high. I'm perfectly fine living in it, but then I would need some flat ground. If there is no fridge available, I would need some electricity too.
I can shower in my camper, but then I need a place to empty and fill up. (grey water disposal)
When I arrive, everything will be filled and emptied so I can use it at least for 1,5 /2 weeks without filling (not showering, then it will be less then a week I guess).

Of course this is also flexible, if we're going to meet we can talk about your preferences and see what's best.
