Description
Hi! My name is Roos, nice to meet you.

What makes life worthwhile for me is having meaningful experiences and learning some new things on the way. By traveling and offering my help to people I intend to make those goals my reality.

I have a curious and open mindset because I think you can only judge something once you have tried it yourself. For this reason I am experienced in many different areas such as art, farming, hospitality and cooking. As a working nomad I currently combine my illustration and design business with travelling.

In my free time I enjoy hiking, reading, crochet and cooking. I also make pottery and other ceramic work. I appreciate sharing a meal and a good conversation but am more than fine working on my own.

I believe in serendipity and am looking forward to the new encounters at the places where my assistance is welcome.

As a curious person I like to try new things. I love cooking (mostly asian food) and often try out new recipes, but the best part of that is sharing it. I also enjoy playing videogames even though im not very good at it ;) When working, I appreciate company but im more than fine on my own.

Besides the nature you can explore they also host various camping events, which make you want to stay longer than you intended. From pizza nights to… read more

Ronja and Felix are lovely people with an inspiring lifestyle. From unique recipes to crafts, they can teach you everything. It's a peaceful way of living over there and the area is beautiful for walking and cycling. They make sure you feel at ease. Working in and around the house was a lot of fun and I'm glad I got to know them.

Roos came and brought a very positive attitude and a good mood with her. Along with a great sense of humour and a desire to learn German! She was a great help with all the tasks, and her presence at the table was always a lovely addition. We would be happy to welcome her again anytime :)

Had a great time at the house! Each person living there is such an unique individual and they're all fun to talk to. I was welcomed with open arms. We did a lot of different things, from harvesting to pouring concrete and I rapidly improved my German. Would recommend anyone to spend some days here and gladly come back some time.

Roos and her small dog Zoef were our guests for 2 1/2 weeks, and all of us were very sad to see them go at the end of their stay.
Roos was very helpful, seeing the work that needed to be done without any special input needed, and doing it perfectly and to our full satisfaction. She cooked several delicious meals for us, spent time with our son,… read more

Roos has left an indelible impression on us. We enjoyed her cheerful presence. What wonderful conversations we had with each other. She easily fits into any company.
You don't have to explain much to Roos. She sees what needs to be done and does this to full satisfaction. We hope to see her again often. Zoef also adapts easily and is not a burden… read more
