Travel information

I am currently

Description

My name is Noëlle and I'm from the Netherlands, originally from the city Gouda (yes from the cheese). At the moment I live in Amsterdam with my boyfriend.

After my studies I found my passion within helping people and making the world a better place, step by step.

My friends would describe me as an easygoing, open, down to earth with an interest in spirituality and caring person.

My happiness: good food, nature activities (hiking, cycling, walking), exploring countries, getting to know other cultures, spending time with friends and family as well as making new connections and enjoying the little things in life.

I am a plant and animal lover and would easily stop on the middle of the road to save a bee or frog (yes this happens).

To recharge my battery I love to spend time alone, do yoga/meditate, read, write and go out into nature.

I'm always curious to try out new things, food and meet new people. I have a hands on mentality and I can't wait to meet you!

When I turned 17 I moved out of my parents house and since then I have lived either with roommates (from 12 to 2), alone or in other countries (Spain and England). This makes me very responsible, independent and mature. I can easily adapt to any circumstance and I am here to learn and grow from experiences.

More details about your skills

I have studied Hotel Management in Maastricht and specialised in the food industry. While studying I completed 3 internships, in Madrid for six months where I learned Spanish and even after 4 years I'm still in contact with the people I met there. I also did two internships in the Netherlands, one at the Red Cross organisation and one at Voeding Leeft (healthcare organisation whom develops lifestyle programs for people with chronic diseases).

Before my studies I worked as an au pair in England for 4 months with 4-year old twins. I really enjoyed my time here and get the opportunity to improve my English.

My interests and skills are very diverse. My dad works as a gardener and to be honest this is my favourite kind of work, to work outside with your hands. I work with my dad quite often and I know how to use a brushcutter (to the surprise of some of my male friends).

From a young age I learned to work with your heart, hands and head all together.

I am skilled in anything to do with the hospitality business, front office, housekeeping, bakery bar and restaurant. I worked as an program coordinator at a Health organisation and I am really structured, organised and can deal well with stressful situations.
I have experience working in construction and working with animals or in the gardens.

I am open to learn anything and I am very flexible and adapt easily to different places, people or situations.
