Description
Hello,
My name is Vera and I am a Dutch woman travelling and working in New Zealand for a number of months. I arrived in New Zealand on March 9th, 2026 on a Working Holiday Visa. Through Workaway I hope to learn about and experience as much of this beautiful country as possible.
About me: I would describe myself as a social introvert with an open mind. I am excited to meet new people and hear their stories, but I also don’t mind spending some time by myself. I love to hike and wander through nature as well as explore cities. As hobbies I enjoy photography and playing games. I am a vegetarian, but other than that I am not a picky eater. As a person I am calm, friendly, eager to learn, creative, and I am a big family person.
While I am here in New Zealand I hope to meet locals and learn about the flora and fauna, traditions, history, and culture, with maybe a little touch of LOTR as well. I also enjoy meeting other travellers from around the globe to share experiences together.
Through previous Workaway experiences I have gained some experience working on a small farm, gardening, housekeeping, and animal care. Furthermore, I have experience as an au pair and I love working with kids. Professionally, my background is in marketing, with additional skills in content creation, graphic design, and Photoshop. If needed, I would also be happy to help with this.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
