Description

Hi! I am Jop. I am an open and relaxed person. I like to have good conversations and share thoughts about life. After working two year in consulting business I decided to explore my horizon. In Italy, I hope to improve my Italian skills get in to the culture (mainly the food ;) ) whilst helping others! In my free time I like running and reading (philosophy).

I have been doing several Workaway experiences in France two years a go. I have been helping families with cooking, cleaning and making fun with their kids! Also I have been working as a volunteer for 6 months in a French school camp where I did the animation of the teenagers (12-17 years).

I am looking forward to meet anyone who's interested in sharing experiences.

Jop is one of those rare young people who immediately stand out for their kindness, gentleness, and quiet strength. There is something genuinely special about the way he carries himself: calm, polite, thoughtful, and always respectful. He has a sweetness that feels almost “from another time”, made of good manners, solid values, and a natural sense … read more

It is hard to describe my experience with this wonderful family in just a few sentences.
For me, this experience is exactly what Workaway is meant for: a valuable cultural exchange. I felt very welcome and had the opportunity to become part of the rhythm of this chaotic but lovely Italian family.

I learned about the food, the language, and the … read more

Jop has spent a couple of weeks with our family and has proven to be a great WorkAwayer!
He's pretty mature for his age and proactively took up household tasks. He went out of his way to prepare good meals and we trusted him for good grocery-shopping while keeping an eye on the budget.
Jop is fun to be around, whether it is for good discussions … read more

I've had a great time with the family! From the very beginning I felt welcome, as it seemed like I've been staying there already for a while. I mainly helped them with the groceries /cooking and preparing the studio's. I also joined Ruben with some bike trips and he took me to a winetasting, which was lots of fun.

I want to thank Ruben, Renée … read more
