Description
Hello!
I'm Sarah. I'm from Leuven, a student city in Belgium.
I have been working as a educator in a child psychiatry for four years and as a child psychologist for one year. And now I feel that I am ready for an adventurous intermezzo! Every 4 to 5 years, I love to leave everything behind and do some travelling. I lived in the US (Boston and Palo Alto) with my family for two years when I was younger, there I learned how to adjust to different cultures. I was on Erasmus for a year in Bergen, Norway, the prefect place to go hiking and enjoy the mountains and nature. Four years ago, I went on a six-month travel to Australia and did my first workaway stays there. I really loved to meet new people and families and to feel home in a new house and country.
I love adventure, meeting people with a different background, doing outdoor sports and playing/listening to music.
I an looking forward to my six months travelling all over Europe with my campervan Rube!

More details about my language interests
I would love to practice my Spanish more. I think it is a really nice and interesting language. I did two years of online classes in Spanish but would love to talk to actual people in Spanish. :) I can teach Dutch since it is my mother tongue. I can teach English because I lived in the US for two years when I was younger, did an Erasmus in Norway where I spoke and took classes in English for one year and I did a six month stay in Australia four years ago.

This is a special place! At first I felt a bit restless because I was not ready to feel the quietness and the vastness of the surroundings. But once I did, it was a really good experience. I felt calm, safe and relaxed at the farm. The tasks were mostly outdoors and physical. Marc always made sure that I liked my tasks and that I felt comfortable… read more

Sarah is a sensational Workaway guest. Positive, upbeat, conscientious and full of fun. Sarah walked many kilometres with ear plugs in place, putting flyers in letter boxes for our business. We are extremely grateful and appreciate her great nature in doing this. Sarah is extremely tidy and a pleasure to have at home. She is super competitive in… read more

I really enjoyed my stay with Len and Julia. They both made sure that I felt comfortable and had a nice stay. It was clear what was expected of me and they were always thankful after a days work.

This was a really great workaway experience for me. After being on the road for 3 months, I could not have wished for a better place to relax and unwind.

Kev is happy to show you around on the… read more

Sarah is a confident grounded organised and independent woman. She was a great guest very respectful, flexible, helpful and friendly, she had her own car so organised her own explorations or read in spare time. (Definitely not a internet junkie), she was comfortable trying new things, meeting new people and giving every task a go. Mostly during… read more

Sarah was a great house guest & didn't need a lot of direction to get jobs done. She got everything done and offered extra help when she was home.
Sarah is great with kids.
I'd recommend Sarah to any host.

Sarah very successfully completed her stay with me. I found her to be a very capable woman who is very good at taking directions and completing tasks given her. I can tell she had to push quite hard at times as the heat was severe some days outside. She took it on in good humor with good attitude. We had some good laughs & did some social things… read more

If you do not mind working hard and getting your hands dirty, and you are looking for a nice place to stay from where you can explore Sydney and its surroundings, then Pieter is a great host to stay with. He is kind and loves deep conversations about psychology and the patriarchy ;) He makes you feel at ease and has good recommendations on what to… read more
