Description
Hey there!
My name is Tineke, it's lovely to meet you (:

I'm 27-year-old special needs and English teacher from Germany.

In the past I've completed 6 workaways in many different countries and work fields, and I would love to do many more!
So far, I've done hospitality work (hostels, guesthouses, camps), farm work, and working with children.
I've loved doing different types of activites with workaway and want to continue trying new things!

I'd describe myself as a kind, social and reliable person. Chatting with new people is one of my favourite things and I'm excited to make more friends with workaway!
Also, since I'm a teacher, an auntie to 6 nieces and nephews, and a former aupair girl, I work well with children.

More about me: I'm interested in sustainability, love nature, and I like finding ways to harm our planet less, which is also why I'm vegetarian and love to shop second-hand. Other hobbies/interests include learning languages, playing volleyball, playing board games, cooking and going for walks/hiking.

Feel free to ask question if you would like to get to know me more!

Lots of love,
Tineke xoxo

More details about your skills
Firstly, I'm a qualified English teacher.
For the past ten plus years I have also been involved in planning children's summer camps and volunteering for them which has contributed to me being a great organiser, team worker and creative mind.

I've also done some volunteer work in the hospitality business. I work well in teams and I have an easy time communicating with people.

Regarding workmanship... I'm always able to do easy chores and I'm sure if you teach me to do more difficult things, I'll get the hang of it quickly!

All in all, I think I can be a great help in many ways, as I'm quite versatile, adaptable and hard-working.

I spent two weeks at Florian's and Christiane's farm and had a great time! The family is lovely and open-minded and you can tell they are used to having volunteers around.

I stayed in Salman's camp in the middle of the desert for 2 1/2 weeks and had an amazing time! My tasks were mainly checking messages online, handling social media and helping with English.

`Having Tineke over was great for us!

She is friendly, outgoing, thoughtful and friendly, and fun to be around with.
She's a hard worker and was always thinking what else could be done.

Thanks Tineke, hope to see you again some time!
