Description

I am an enthusiastic and open-minded individual, driven by a passion for personal development and growth. I love learning, whether it's through formal education, additional courses, or exploring new cultures. Embracing new experiences excites me, and I thrive in social environments.

I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time by the ocean. While it may be a bit cliché, a beautiful sunset can truly brighten my day.

I am easygoing, always up for a chat and a good laugh. My goal is to explore life to its fullest, and I approach each day with that mindset.

2008 - 2014
Bartender in numerous bars in the Netherlands. Something I really enjoy! The chats, the laughs and the smile you give to someone else.

2014 - 2018:
Graphic Designer in Rotterdam. Designing flyers, logos, themes ans magazines. Also provided help with fotohoots and outdoor locations,.

2018 - 2019:
I started by helping out on a farm, where I packed bananas and worked as a gardener on a vast piece of land. I cut trees, planted new plants, and learned so much! It was an unforgettable experience.

2019:
I then became a cook at a cattle station, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I even helped with mustering the cattle and feeding the animals around. It was so peaceful and rewarding!

2020:
Next, I worked at a hostel, assisting with tours, bookings, and even guiding some tours myself. I absolutely loved this job and had a blast meeting new people every day!

2021:
I had the incredible opportunity to teach kids at a remote cattle station. I helped them with math, sports, and language. Every Sunday, we’d go for thrilling motorbike rides to explore the area together. It was amazing!

And since 2021, I’ve been a chef in remote mining camps. I truly love working in hospitality and bringing joy through delicious food!

What else ...

I love to play games! An evening around the pool table or card games, you name it.

One of my greatest accomplishments:
When I arrived in Australia in 2018, I brought my bicycle and went on an unforgettable solo journey. For four months, I cycled from Melbourne to Brisbane, covering an incredible 4000 kilometers.
