Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi! I am Halina, 19 years old and currently studying at a Liberal Arts and Sciences College. I am originally from Amsterdam, where I was born and raised, and I love my city and its people. During my travels I would like to experience living and working in nature for longer periods of time. I look forward to meeting beautiful people, having new experiences and learning about different cultures and useful skills.

My parents have taken me backpacking since an early age and I fell in love with travel. I have also done a lot of traveling with friends and some solo backpacking! I grew up riding horses and sometimes still do. I really enjoy working with animals and taking care of them. I love reading, journaling and writing poetry, going on hikes, analog photography, making music (I know a little guitar and piano), studying philosophy, spending time with friends and practising yoga and meditation. I deeply care about our planet and I am always searching for new ways to reduce my ecological footprint. I love making genuine connections with others and also thrive in solitude. One of my current focuses while traveling is learn how to surf!

Since I was fourteen, I have always had part-time jobs, such as babysitting, working in a restaurant and helping with horseriding lessons for kids. During my gap year last year, I worked at a hospital, providing food for the patients. I am a fast learner and a hard, disciplined worker. Hopefully I can be a help to you. Looking forward to learn about your routines, culture and home.
