Description
Hello! I am currently exploring the world with my backpack. Originally, I am from the Netherlands and after my studies I worked as a Program Manager at a social impact start-up for two years. It was a dynamic workplace where I have grown skills in diverse areas such as marketing, sales, teaching, and event management/organization.
Learning about people their way of life and culture is one of the most interesting things I believe there is. Therefore, I am excited about Workaways, as it is a great opportunity to share stories, learn new skills, grow emotionally, and get inspired my other people their way of life.
My friends would describe me as very curious, energetic, social, and down to earth person. I love nature, outdoor activities, good laughter, conversations, photography, kitesurfing, reading, dancing, yoga, meditation and much more.
I look forward to meeting new people and sharing stories, skills and laughter. If you are curious for more information about who I am, I am happy to share. Smiles :)

More details about your skills
On a professional level I have worked as a Program Manager for 2 years, after my studies International Communication. Hereby I have developed skills in marketing, social media, stakeholder management, event planning, providing trainings in communication skills, and team management.
On a personal level, I love creativity. I enjoy taking photos, editing videos, and writing blogs. I am also very active, preferably outdoors. So if any work requires physical labor outside, I would probably enjoy it :)
