Travelling
Description

Hi,

I am Marga, born Leeuwarden, a city in the north of the Netherlands. Furthermore I lived in Groningen en Utrecht. I have traveled a bit around Europe and lived in Florida during my internship, working at a hotel. I always loved traveling and seeing more of the world.

As a kid my dream was to travel in Latin America and in 2024I made this dream come true. I went to
Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. During this time I volunteered at farms, hostels and stayed with families.

Currently traveling in Mexico and working remotely for a Dutch callcenter company in the morning. Looking forward to more travel in 2026.

I love meeting new people and get to know different cultures. For me work away is the perfect combination of getting new experiences, do something for others and immerse myself into a new culture, world and nature.

After traveling and staying in South America I speak and understand Spanish but I am eager to become better and more fluent.

Look forward to meet you/ Espero conocerte!

I stayed with Marisabel for a week this summer and it was a lovely experience. I helped with cleaning up and household tasks. Furthermore we enjoyed each other's company and had good conversations about life. We also went around in Cuenca a bit as there was a market in the week I was there. It was really nice to stay with Marisabel and I would … read more

Marga is a very easy-going girl. We hit it off immediately. She helped me with some specific tasks at home and the basement to which she was very committed. We had lots of lovely conversations about life. We felt very much at easy in each other's company. I wouldn't hesitate to host her again. I wish her all the best in all her life adventures!

Es muy amorosa con los animales y siempre los trato con mucho cariño. Una joven muy alegre y tranquila, respetuosa con todas las personas y una muy buena actitud. Siempre … read more

Estaba con Manuel en su finca hermosa cerca de Barichara y San Gil durante 3 semanas. La pasé genial. Estuve en contacto con Natalia (la hija de Manuel), quien me recogió en el autobús y se aseguró de que todo estuviera organizado.
Ayudé con varias tareas en la casa y la finca, planto plátano y cosecho yuca. A veces era un trabajo exigente, pero … read more

Disfruté mucho estar con Liz y Gizmo, su adorable perrito, durante dos semanas. La ayudé con sus libros y paseé a Gizmo por las tardes. Nos lo pasamos my bien: paseando encontramos higos e hicimos nuestra propia mermelada, y ella me enseñó algunas recetas deliciosas. Tuve tiempo de sobra para explorar Chulilla, hacer bonitas caminatas y disfrutar … read more

Marga es una chica afable y educada con estudios de hostelería en Holanda. Ha estado en mi casa dos semanas y se ha adaptado muy bien, realizando tareas de inventariado de libros en mi biblioteca y paseando con mi perrito por la sierra de Chulilla. Ha disfrutado con este trabajo y del paisaje de Chulilla. Es dulce y comprensiva. La recomiendo … read more

I was very excited to go to Isabella island and to stay on this beautiful farm. I was welcomed nicely and we shared a nice day the next day.
Unfortunately this is where the sharing stopped.

The work was demanding and the same all week: putting branches in a pile so they can burn them. During the work, I was never asked anything, while they were … read more

Marga seemed to be nice and involved when she arrived.
She confirmed me she was staying for 3 WEEKS .
But actually she was not really into the farm work. She was really tired all the time...
I helped her enjoying time out, being flexible with the timetable.
When she spent nights at the village, I told her to come back before 8PM, she said ok.
She … read more
