Description
Hello, I’m Niki.
I’ve spent much of my life moving between countries, cultures, and ways of living. I’ve lived in over ten countries and have worked in many different fields, from hospitality to health, from education to end-of-life care. Along the way, I’ve come to appreciate how much we all need kindness, structure, and presence in order to thrive.
I’m a quiet and caring person. I love being around people and supporting them in meaningful ways, but I also need regular time to recharge. I do best in places that value both connection and calm. Early mornings, fresh air, and honest conversations are what I enjoy most.
My background is broad. I’ve worked as a personal trainer and movement teacher for many years. I’ve also been recently certified as a TEFL teacher and enjoy language exchange and helping others gain confidence in English. I work as an end-of-life doula, which has taught me how to listen deeply, hold space, and be with people through moments that really matter.
I also love being outdoors. Swimming in open water, hiking, practicing Qigong, or working in the garden, these are all things that ground me. I’m happy to help with practical tasks, care for animals, cook healthy meals, support guests, or contribute to creative or community projects. I especially enjoy learning new skills, and I’d love to grow in areas like gardening and basic construction.
I speak fluent English and Dutch, and I can have conversations in Spanish, French, and German. I’ve been both a WorkAwayer and a host before, and I know how important it is to show up with respect, flexibility, and a sense of humor.
Wherever I go, I try to bring warmth, curiosity, and care. I’m not someone who rushes. I like to take time, do things with intention, and make space for others to feel at ease. I’m here to help where I can, and to learn as I go.
Thanks for considering me. I'm looking forward to connecting.
