Description

Hi! I’m someone who grew up in a beautifully mixed world — my dad is Dutch, my mom is German‑Indonesian, I was born in Germany, and I moved to Indonesia when I was 12. Basically, diversity has been my “normal” since day one, and I absolutely love it.

I went to an international school, which taught me to celebrate every culture, try new things fearlessly, and talk to anyone from anywhere. I’m all about good vibes, teamwork, and learning something new every day.
Volunteering has also been a huge part of my life. With Habitat for Humanity, I helped build houses in Jakarta and even traveled to Africa to help build libraries and improve water access for kids. Those experiences made me grateful, grounded, and excited to help whenever I can.

I studied Hospitality Management in Bali and even during COVID I tried to grab every internship possible. My studies also took me back to Africa for six months and then to Curaçao for my final year — which basically confirmed that I’m happiest when exploring new places and understanding different cultures.

My sister recently moved to Sydney, and I’m excited to get to know Australia through her world. Family matters a lot to me — and so do dogs. My family has had golden retrievers for the last 10 years, and I’ve even volunteered with puppies.

People usually describe me as cheerful, positive, hardworking, curious, and always ready to help. I love cooking, traveling, trying new experiences, doing sports, and taking long walks with my dog. I’m always smiling, always learning, and always open to the next adventure.

More details about my language interests
I’m interested in languages because I grew up in a multicultural family and lived in different countries. Speaking different languages helps me connect with people, understand their cultures, and feel at home wherever I am. It opens doors, builds friendships, and makes every new place easier and more exciting to explore.

More details about your skills

I bring a strong mix of multicultural awareness, adaptability, and a naturally positive attitude. Growing up between German, Dutch, and Indonesian cultures has made me comfortable connecting with people from all backgrounds and communicating with ease in international environments.

Through my hospitality studies and various internships, I’ve developed solid people skills, a warm customer‑service approach, and the ability to stay calm, friendly, and reliable under pressure.

My volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity taught me hands‑on teamwork, responsibility, and the willingness to help wherever needed.

I’m also experienced in caring for animals, especially golden retrievers and puppies, which reflects my patience and gentle nature. I enjoy trying new things, and never shy away from hard work. Whether cooking, traveling, doing sports, or working with my hands, I bring positive energy, curiosity, and a strong work ethic to everything I do.
