Description
Hi there! My name is Noor Witteveen, i'm twenty-one years old as of right now and I adore travelling. I love seeking out new opportunities and challenges as I feel it connects me with myself more and others around the world. I am hardworking, flexible and social :). I love working with animals and people, and I love the outdoors. My goal is to connect with others, meet new people, create memories and connections and learn about their culture and lifestyle.

I'm open to any new experiences and I'm excited to see what the world of Workaway has to offer. :)

More details about your skills
I've just graduated my course as a teacher and will pursue Pyschology in the near future. I taught a class of children with a mental/physical disability whom are getting ready for the world and are actively working on getting jobs. I taught them usual things such as Dutch and mathmatics whilst also real life skills like social ettique whilst working and writing proffesional letters.

Since writing this, I've been able to do many amazing workaways and learn many different skills such as construction, fixing fences, learning even more about specialized animal care, gardening, housekeeping, making beds and reception work.

Other than that I travel as much as I can. When I graduated high school in my homeland I worked alot and saved up enough money to study in America as an exchange student! I lived with an amazing host family on the beautiful Northwest Pacific and had the most amazing time! Since then, I've tried to incorperate travelling whilst studying.

So during any vacations, I've seeked out experiences and I got to learn very diverse things and many wonderful people! I've been an Au-pair twice in which I cared for the kids. I cooked, read to them, cleaned, washed their clothes, put them to bed, made homework (in an interactive playful way) among other tasks. I've also volunteered at a Yoga retreat in Ibiza last year in which I cleaned appartments, washed , gardened, and talked to guests regarding their stay.

Overall, I have a good bit of skill in many things and I'm truly experienced in a couple, Hard work is never a problem and I feel I learn best hands-on. i'm open-minded and take feedback well.

Furthermore I volunteered at an animal shelter in Spain a couple of weeks ago where I scrubbed kennels, prepared food, gave the dogs their meds and played with them. I had the most wonderful time!

Thank you for reading my extensive letter,I appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Noor

It is hard putting this experience into words. Being at the farm with Stel and eventually the others was in one word amazing. Stel is one of the most patient, kind and passionate people i've met. What initially drew me in was working with ostriches, but I've since left the farm feeling like a different person with new friends, new knowledge and… read more

Noor (Molly) volunteered at my farm for 2 separate stints during the period of September to December 2023. She was a great volunteer, hard working and responsible with a real affinity for the animals she was caring for.

She has a very positive and robust personality and is able to make people feel at ease around her very easily. She formed close… read more

Noor's presence in our home during a bustling period with numerous simultaneous workawayers was a true blessing. Her ability to manage the household and tackle the often unnoticed tasks made a significant impact on our community.

In a house that, at times, resembled a bustling hostel, Noor's calm and organized approach helped restore order and… read more

Viktoria, Sebastian, Hannes and Katrin, thank you all so much! I've had such an amazing time staying with you all. I was lucky enough spend three weeks with them. They're all really wonderful and cool people with open hearts whom will go above and beyond. I felt very welcome from day one and (in my experience) was able to bond with them very… read more

Noor is very kind, open-minded, and respectful. She helped so much in the kitchen preparing food and all other areas of the house. She was very interested and enthusiastic and a lovely person to work with.
She is self-sufficient and very quickly got on with the whole group.
We would welcome her back anytime :) Thank you so much for all your help!

I cannot state how grateful I am to have experienced this place. Everything about the place is absolutely wonderful; the people, the work, the food, and the overall energy of the place. Everyone is very welcoming and will treat you as one of theirs. The tasks are talked through in the morning where you have the luxury to choose your task. I was… read more

We had great time with Noor. She is very easy going and adapted smoothly at our place. She did a great job in taking care of our dogs! She always offered help and is super polite and fun. The dogs were a little sad when she left, they missed all her love and attention. We miss you as well and you were an excellent and fun person: I would… read more

Lhea and Ramon,

Staying with you was just wonderful. You trusted me with your amazing son Vin and I never felt judged even when I didn't always know if I was doing it right with him. Both of you guided me in the care of Vin and we worked like a team. You've treated me with such respect and gave me personal time when I needed it. I truly learned… read more
