Description

Hi! My name is Iris and I am currently taking a gap year, which I hope to fill with lots of awesome memories :) I adore listening to- and making music; I play the violin and the piano, or sometimes just sit in my room while singing songs, jamming on my ukulele. Other than that I like developing games, letting myself get inspired by all upcoming experiences. I can't wait to meet new people all around the world and learn about all their different cultures.

More details about your skills

I've worked as a server and barista at a lovely cafe for one and a half years, and it truly brought me a lot of joy to make the guests happy with my coffee. Other than that, I've also worked in a vegetarian food stand for about a year and a small chocolate shop in the center of Amsterdam. Back when I was 13, I used to volunteer at a retirement home. There, I helped prepare the meals, set the table, and start conversations with the charming residents. I don't have a lot of experience in permaculture and everything it contains, but I'm very excited and motivated to learn all about it:)
