Let life unfold

Description

I love putting a smile on someone's face. Truly connecting with others. Having good conversations. Enjoying how nature nourishes us. Cooking and sharing meals. Seeing crops thrive. Surprising myself by doing things I didn't think I could. Learning from each other. Feeling at home with strangers. Making strangers feel at home with me. Forgetting the time when I'm on my yoga mat. Spending time with animals. Breathing in fresh air on a hike. Feeling on top of the world yet tiny at the same time when nature shows her breathtaking beauty.

I'm a seeking soul but enjoy every bit of life!

More details about your skills

- Over six years of experience in hospitality & tourism, varying from luxury hotels and upscale restaurants to local hostels and student bars.
- Currenly attending a TEFL course to teach English abroad.
- Qualified with a BA in Hospitality Management, Maastricht, The Netherlands.
- Know my way around the kitchen and with products. I'm a tad too chaotic to handle 14 different orders at once, but you can trust me with preparing meals and buffet mise-en-place.
- Organised many events, days out, tours and shoot days (videography) as a project coordinator. I can both focus on the big picture and nitty gritty details.
- Worked in a nursing home, taking care of dementia patients. It was a bit sad, but beautiful at the same time, and would definitely do this again.
- I've worked as an online marketer, copywriter and (online) editor for over four years, so could also offer help in this area!
- Dutch is my mother tongue, might that be helpful? I could write articles or website pages if you have a target group that likes to speak Dutch. Would be lovely! I also speak German and a bit of Spanish. Learning Swedish as we speak.
- I have a driving licence and love horseriding.
- I'm a quick study, so teach me what I need to know to help you out! :)

What else ...

Yoga, swimming, hiking, cooking, dancing. I'd love to learn how to dive... and many other things I don't even know about... Oh, and my favourite place to go out to is a comedy club - having a good laugh together is medicine for the soul!
