Description

Hey, I’m Niels from Switzerland, with Dutch roots. I’m an open-minded, curious, and easygoing person who enjoys connecting with people from different backgrounds and learning from new experiences.

Over the past years, I worked in a Swiss asylum center, supporting people from all over the world. I especially enjoyed organizing activities for children and creating positive moments in difficult situations. This experience taught me a lot about empathy, patience, and human connection.

I love traveling, nature, sports, music, and meaningful conversations. I spent the last half year traveling and realized that my journey became more about going inward than outward. Meditation has become a important part of my life, helping me stay grounded and open.

At the moment, I’m still exploring where life will take me next. I enjoy trying new things, learning practical skills and expanding my horizon through new people, places, and experiences.

I’m looking forward to meeting inspiring people, contributing wherever I can, and continuing to grow along the way:)

More details about my language interests
I'm always interested in learning new languages and love the cultural exchange that comes with it. I also have experience teaching: during my time working at an asylum centre, I gave daily German classes to adults. I’d be happy to help others learn or improve their German or Dutch (both my native languages), and I also enjoy practicing and supporting others in English.
