I am currently

Description

I am from India, 30 years old (she). I came to the Netherlands to pursue higher studies in Engineering. My engineering skills brought me to Belgium, where I worked with a Sports Technology company, and then back to the Netherlands. I am interested in being a workawayer to experience new cultures, a unique opportunity to embrace new things, and open my mind to new perspectives.

One of my interests lies in being around animals. I have been raised with dogs in my hometown. I share a connection of understanding and trust with them. I put constant efforts to be in touch with that connection. Living in co-housing does not give an option to house a pet. I have found alternative ways to be in the presence of animals. I pet sit or volunteer wherever possible around my residence.

The other interest lies in nature. I like doing hikes, going on a bike ride and spending my time outdoors. Weather can be challenging at times, but the beauty of challenging weather is that pushes your limits and helps you to grow in resilience. This fills me with gratitude towards nature and myself to be able to learn, thrive in extreme conditions.

More details about your skills

I am an animal lover which motivates me to help pet owners to take care of their furry friends when they are away on a vacation. It includes day-to-day activities like dog walking, feeding pets, watering plants, etc.

I love involving myself in different activities around me. In summers 2020, I worked as a delivery person for a restaurant and during the same time, I was a part of the cleaning team of Bouldering gym in Delft. I like these roles because as a delivery person I was exploring streets and housing buildings in Delft. In bouldering's cleaning team, I grew into adapting myself to work in a physically demanding and stressful environment.

Age

What else ...
