Description
I am a very happy and adventurous person who loves to see the world. Friends would describe me as social, extraverted and creative. I love cooking, reading, having a beer and playing sports. I have just finished my master's studies in military history in Stockholm and am now looking for a fun adventure during the summer. I am half Swedish, half Belgian; I grew up in Brussels but have been living in different countries such as Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands and Colombia.
I want to explore new places in a way that allows me to really get to know families and cultures. I do not like to move on from places as soon as I have seen them. I think that Workaway is a beautiful experience to learn and help other people. I have volunteered a little before, once through Workaway in a village in Peru called Caraz, where I helped with cleaning and cooking at a school. Other volunteering experiences I have include one in Brussels where I taught Dutch and handed out breakfast to people who had just arrived in Belgium. In Colombia, I sometimes worked as a French teacher in a local school. -

More details about your skills
I study peace and conflict studies at Uppsala University (it is like political science but with a diplomatic focus). I love international politics and would love to work with it one day. In september I start my last year of my bachelor. In sweden I also work at the reception of a hotel. I have had different other student jobs like working in restaurant & bar, working for a gardening company, fotographer, working at festivals, babysitting and 2 different volunteer projects.
This semester (since january 2023, I have been on a study exchange in Bogota studying 'ciencia politica, enfoque paz y conflicto' at the Javeriana). I speak Dutch, Swedish, French, Spanish and English. I could teach the languages that I speak to other people.
In a normal day, I love to talk about live with people, taking beers, going to museums and be in the nature. -

What else ...
I am very excited to see a new country! I like climbing, rowing and I do play the trumpets. For me a best type of night is talking with some people about life, listening to music and drinking some wine.
I also want to mention that I do not really smoke, I am more like a occasional smoker. -
