Description

Hello, my name is Tijn.

I try to be a compassionate, understanding, authentic, trusting person.
As a volunteer i hope to contribute more than just physical work. But also friendship and memories. Wether this is with my host or other volunteers.

I have been travelling since september 2023 through wwoof.com and switched to workaway in december.
I'm travelling to find challenges and lessons that can help me create a stronger sense of self.
I would like to have a deeper understanding of myself and my emotions and live more connected with the world and beings around me.
I work on myself by meditating, journaling and reflecting on my interactions with others and my own thoughts.
I am incredibly gratefull for the growth i have made since the start of my journey even if not all parts where pleasant! (As expected)

I chose wwoofing and workaway so i can meet new people and experience their way of life, while simultaniously learning practical skills related to organic agriculture and -construction!
I hope to one day have my own page on wwoof where i can invite volunteers myself!

While many of my goals are individual goals, i don't plan to spend my time alone, in my tent/room working on myself after i have completed my contribution.
As an upcoming teacher i believe we can learn a lot from and WITH each other, and i prefer to enrich my moments/memories and growth by sharing them with others.

I enjoy reading fantasy-books (WOT), playing games, growing as a person, making fires, having meaningfull conversations, and discovering new hobbies.
I am currently learning spanish and playing the guitar!
I hope to pick up something artistic soon, but i have not found my medium yet.
