Description
Hi!
I am Tinka, a 29 year-old woman from the Netherlands.
I love connecting and learning from others. And enjoy getting my hands dirty. Which makes that WorkAway is the perfect place for me :D
I have already helped at several workaways: building a house in Belguim, farming in Czech, teaching in Ghana, wine making in Georgia, being a camping host in Vietnam, and building a house again in Mexico.

I am curious and never get tired of discovering new things. I am happiest when I am surrounded by people and trees. I love to use my creativity and have a secret addiction to chai. By profession I am a data specialist, working on climate adaptation.

Contributing to projects I believe in, just gives me so much joys. Learning about the vision and then seeing together how I can contribute the most. While I enjoy being with people, I also like to take initiative and enjoy time by myself as well. I enjoy getting sweaty (to some extent) when working to a common goal and like putting my creativity in things. Looking forward to make this world a little bit better!

More details about your skills
As job I am working as a data scientist at the united nations, so I know how to handle computers.
I got experience in volunteering with project management, building houses, working with kids, teaching, and working at a farm. These projects took place in Ghana, Mexico, Uganda, Finland, Belgium, Georgia and the Netherlands.

But more importantly I am very curious by character, enjoy hard work, and love to learn new skills.

Tinka is self-motivated and hardworking. At the farm, she spent most of her days weeding around the young trees. She also worked well with another volunteer to water the trees everyday. Additionally, she was always willing to lend a hand with any other tasks that were required :)

Shanti, Matu, Zaina and their furry friends are one of a kind. Deciding to build their own house and paradise. Never having done that before but with a lot of trust and thoughtfulness they are just doing it, truly inspiring! They are super welcoming and always in for a laugh 🤩

The volunteering itself is a perfect example of what WorkAway is… read more

We were so lucky to have Tinka here during high season that we were very busy. We actually become a team to work together as friends and a family. She works really hard and very quickly to learn new thing. Host her if you have chance 😆 we really miss you Tinka and always pray to god for you to safe and sound along the road.

My experience with Van and Tuan was amazing! Their personalities are lovely, very thoughtful and caring and always up for new ideas. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home :)

Their glamping is beautifully located and their creativity shows in the decoration of the place. I was there during the holiday season which meant it was very busy and I… read more

We, two friends, volunteered for a week and after the first day we already felt part of the family. They are super welcoming, and we could easily sit for hours talking on the terrace. They were also super flexible with our veganism and we had a lot of fun using all their vegetables from the garden. The work is super fun as well and Wouter is… read more

Tinka is a very enthusiastic woman . She brought a good energy together with her friend Eluna. She is a very good worker and is not afraid of using heavy machines. The job in our eco building is very well done. Both are good cooks as well so we were lucky to taste a lot of nice meals. We love to have you back Tinka
