Description

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

I'm 25 years old and I finished my education studies in December 2022. From January till May 2023 I went travelling in the Middle East and have finished three Workaways there. Two were hospitality work and cleaning (in a guest house and in a Bedouin camp), the other was landscaping and other outdoor/garden work in a kibbutz. Other significant experiences abroad include an interrail tour through Italy, a gap year as an au-pair girl (nanny) in England and a university semester abroad in Northern Ireland.

I would like to try out new and other things on workaway. Working with animals, agriculture, environmental work, house work or something of that sort - something more hands-on! (I would also love to become a better handywoman and gardener and gain more skills of that sort!). But I'm actually up for anything!

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 now that I'm trying out workaway!

I'm also interested in sustainability, nature, and finding ways to harm our planet less, which is also why I'm vegetarian. I'd love to learn more about sustainabilty and preserving our beautiful nature.

Lots of love,
Tineke xoxo

More details about my language interests
Well, there are a couple of languages I'd like to learn! Swahili and French come to mind because I already have a little bit of knowledge about them. Since I'm currently travelling in Arabic speaking countries, is love to learn more Arabic! I can teach you German or English.

More details about your skills

Let me see... well, firstly I speak German and English fluently. And since I've just finished my teaching degree, I'm a qualified teacher. For the past ten 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.

I've also done some volunteer work in the restaurant business, so I show some skills in the hospitality area. I work well in teams and I have an easy time communicating with people.

Regarding workmanship.. I might not have many mechanical and manual skills yet, but I'm very very eager to learn and improve my skills! Would absolutely love that actually!!! And I'm always able to do easy chores such as painting walls etc. I'm sure if you teach me to do the 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.
