Description
Hi, my name is Vincent and I recently graduated with a Psychology degree from a University in the Netherlands. I am using this year to take some time off from academia, to learn new skills and apply what I know to help out where it is needed :)
I've been doing a variety of work in the past. I spent one month with a disaster response organization rebuilding flooded basements. I helped building up and renovating a restaurant and a zero-emissions house in Canada and the US. Also, I was doing some planting and maintaining of vegetables on an ecological farm. Finally, I helped children with their German and English in Spain. I enjoyed all of these experiences and I can´t wait to make more of them!

More details about your skills
From my studies I learned to communicate effectively and to think critically. During my past workaways and later internships I learned how to work in construction. I like to learn and teach languages, to cook, to work in the garden, the household or wherever help is needed. I am generally learning pretty fast, and I can work effectively in groups and individually.

Barbaros is a small village but very picturesque. We were helping out around their place where they serve breakfasts and run a small book store. We were doing gardening,… read more

We spent just a few days at Bridget’s place, but it was an all in all perfect stay. We painted and organized a room with bathroom that she rents out to guests. It was a really pleasant job and Bridget was flexible with working hours if we made sure to get the job done within the time frame (which we thought was a really nice principle). We ended… read more

I had a great time in Detroit! The people are awesome and the atmosphere on base and at the work site was amazing. It felt good to be a part of the team and I hope to see some of you at another of our projects!

I wish every workawayer came with the set of personality traits that Vincent has. He has been eager to learn, always respectful. Not afraid to ask, communicative. Vincent helped a tremendous bit . The pieces that he constructed will last for decades.

I am looking forward to receiving him again to build together a tree house for my your son.

Working with arek on his house was an unique experience! His house is just one big construction site and arek is working day and night to get it done as fast as possible. He is very patient and gives his best to make you feel comfortable and he's always open for suggestions.
Arek provides beer ! ..and also good, healthy food. If you don't mind… read more

great experience! I really enjoyed the three weeks, that I stayed and worked in Brooklyn. The atmosphere at work and in the base was always positive and I would love to come back again ! At the moment I'm volunteering with them in Detroit and it is also as good as in new York. I'm looking forward to help out on their other projects :)
