Description

Hey there! My name is David, and I live in a town called Tilburg in The Netherlands. In 2016 I graduated from my Photography Bachelors, worked in film production and research for documentaries in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and worked in communication for a film theatre. In the summer of 2023 I finished my master's in Art and Digital Culture Studies.

I'm on Workaway because I want to work with my hands and take care of people and places -and to learn skills that are becoming rare in our technology driven world, but also as part of my effort to meet new people and learn about their perspectives. So I appreciate this counter-movement and am interested in what collaborations might result from it. I'm becoming increasingly interested in learning more about small-scale community living and ways to live a healthy and sustainable life.

I'm a music and cinema lover. I also closely follow the current debates and love to talk politics. I also find joy in helping others, and used to clean elderly people's houses for a living. If the opportunity arises and the language allows, I would love to continue doing this elsewhere. Cleaning is one of the things that helps me unwind and clear my mind. I consider myself a homebody and love to create warm and welcoming environments, especially through cooking and experimenting with new flavors in the kitchen. Cooking, cleaning, and manifesting cozy vibes is definitely my thing :) I love taking care of- and playing with children and I'm a big animal friend.
