Description
Hola,
My name is Sharon. I am 29 years old and (when I am not travelling) I live in Rotterdam.
People describe me as a very outgoing, social, hard working and (if I may believe my friends) very funny person. I love exploring the world and I like meeting new people.
A few years ago, I started my first volunteering experience as a hostel manager in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. Initially, the plan was to work in this surf hostel for 2 months but I ended up staying there for 2 years. I have learned a lot in these 2 years and ever since I am hooked on travel-working abroad.
When I arrived back in the Netherlands, I was a manager at a restaurant. I liked the place but it did not feel as a perfect fit for me. This is where I decided to move to Ibiza and travel-work for 6 months in a restaurant as a waitress.
After this experience, I really wanted to move to Barcelona but was not able to due to COVID-19. This is where I decided to move back to the Netherlands and pursue my profession as a sales and event manager.
Now that we are able to travel again, I can’t wait to go and explore again!
Please let me know if you are interested in working with me. I would love to share my previous experiences.
Hopefully till soon!
With kind regards,
Sharon Klapwijk

I had a amazing time in Queretaro. Jaime is a very nice host and absolutely a funny guy to hang out with. The work was nice and easy. And the house is amazing. With my goodbye party we had a karaoke in the swimming pool with everyone from the house ! So we had a lot of fun. Oh and I can't forget my new best friend… read more
