  • Description

    I'm in love with living the full spectrum of life as a human being. I have a curious mind and heart. I love to learn from life. From other cultures, people and from the land/the elements. I see life as a big playground and I am learning to let life unfold at it's own pace. It brings me a lot of joy when I have openhearted conversations, when I'm around children and/or hug with animals (I also love to hug humans ;)). I absolutely love to dance, to write and to photograph. Those three things are my main ways of expressing my inner creative world. I could describe myself in many ways, but I wouldn't perse put myself in any boxes. I am, like life itself, a living paradox.

    I'm a graduated 25 year old woman, who studied Nutrition & Dietetics in Amsterdam. I have worked in different work environments over the past couple of years and learned a lot. I taught some English and have been an au-pair for two children in Shanghai, i worked as a sports dietician for over a year and i worked on an organic farm. These are just some examples. I also have experience in the hospitality and retail industries. I have very broad interests and I find it especially important that I support the workplace/initiative in their values and vision. I'm a starting photographer and am finding this to be my current focus. It's all about the creativity and art in everything for me. That's why philosophy and spirituality are part of my daily life. I would love to gain experiences in photography/designing and working with different kinds of people. I could teach dance, nutrition and sports (as i'm experienced in those fields). Working on the land is also a field that i can endlessly learn from/gain experience in. Learning new languages and learning about the local culture: cuisine, land etc., are a must :) I would love to get to know you! There is so much to know about every country, person and situation. I find life endlessly inspiring.

  • More details about your skills

    From origin I am a graduated (sports)dietician. I am very interested in everything food and movement. Nevertheless, I decided that I won't be working (at least for now) in that field, since I don't fully agree with the way most job descriptions are set up. I have been an au-pair in the past (in China - Shanghai), so I'm experienced with taking care of children and teaching English. I'm also good with animals (I absolutely love them and they usually like me too ;)), so I would love to take care of animals. I have been a teamleader in a supermarket, which showed me that I am a good planner, structured and good at creating an overview.

    I'm a great communicator, I love to cook (I'm not a professional but I have some good basics skills haha), I love to write (I'm a writer and starting poet) and I can dance. I have also been a personal trainer in the past for weight-training, so I'm experienced with teaching. Also, my strength helps me with being a hard worker, for instance in a garden or with carrying stuff.

    If you have any questions about my skills, always feel free to ask them :)

  • What else ...

    What else?

    Hmm, there is so much haha (we humans are so layered)! But for the most part I would just love to share more if I would meet you in person. I do love to play board games, I like to play sports and go on walks (be in nature and use my hands!!!). I love creating (in any way actually), storytelling in person and I love to be as most in the present moment as possible. I love to connect to other humans and learn about their background and everything else. I think that's it for now :)

    Lot's of love
