  • Description

    Hi there!

    Eight years ago, I hit a wall. I was working as a marketing manager in the corporate world when burnout knocked me flat. It was honestly one of the best things that ever happened to me because it led me to completely transform my life. I became a happiness coach, left the corporate grind behind, and started this incredible journey of traveling the world while helping others find their joy.

    These days, I'm living my dream - teaching English, doing energy healings and holistic work, learning from amazing people everywhere I go. Right now I'm in Hawaii working on a beautiful fruit farm through WWOOF, and it's my first time doing this kind of exchange. I'm absolutely loving it and ready to dive deeper into this lifestyle.

    ## What I bring to your space

    I'm that person who genuinely lights up helping others. My marketing and branding background means I can help with your online presence, content creation, or any business development stuff you might need. I love teaching English - especially conversation and pronunciation - in a relaxed, fun way (no boring textbooks, promise!). I speak Dutch, Lithuanian, and some Russian too, so we might have some unexpected language connections.

    I also do art therapy and holistic healing work, which I'm always happy to share if it feels right for your community. And honestly? I just really enjoy connecting with people. I've traveled all over the world and there's something magical about those moments when you click with someone from a completely different background.

    ## What makes my hands happy

    I absolutely love working with fruits and herbs - there's something so satisfying about harvest time and learning about what grows where. I'm drawn to anything involving English lessons, spiritual development, creative projects... whether that's in hostels, cafes, retreat centers, or anywhere people gather. I should mention though - I'm not the person for heavy lifting or super physical work, but I make up for it with enthusiasm and all the other ways I can contribute!

    ## What I'm curious to learn

    This is where I get really excited! I'm fascinated by traditional foods and crafts, homesteading, permaculture - all of it. I'm actually planning to start my own intentional community someday, so I'm like a sponge for any knowledge about sustainable living and land stewardship. I'm also scouting inspirational places because I want to organize retreats that really transform people's lives.

    ## Where I'm headed

    I'm heading back to Asia in a few days - South Korea, Japan, Mongolia, China, Taiwan are all on my list. I love staying anywhere from a few days to a month, depending on what feels right for everyone involved.

    ## Why this path calls to me

    There's something about this lifestyle that perfectly supports my growth as a happiness coach. Every new place teaches me to let go of expectations, to adapt, to stay curious. Plus, I get to help people while learning incredible things I never would have discovered otherwise. It's like the universe designed the perfect classroom for someone like me.

    If you're someone who loves sharing knowledge, enjoys meaningful conversations, and could use help with English, marketing, or just want someone around who brings good energy to your space, I'd love to connect!

    Looking forward to learning from each other! ✨
