Description
My dream is to help you realize your dream project :).
I just finished my studies and I am ready to leave the 'sitting behind my laptop' kind of life behind me. I love to work with my hands and to live in nature, it helps me to get out of my head and into my body.
I really like to learn new things/try things out. I would love to learn more about natural building, building in general, renovating sailing ships, permaculture, herbs and how you can use them, hairdressing, qi gong, any kind of dance, tantra, climbing, living off grid, massage. Well I'm excited to learn a lot of new things haha! The thing I really like about workaway is that I get to learn new skills, but also get to know people in such a special way. It feels like an honor when you let me be part of your life!

Hard skills:
- Taking care of cows, sheep, horses
- Weeding
- Watermanagement
- Sewing
- Repair stuff
- Adobe Illustrator and InDesign
- Climate adaptation
- Energy transition

Soft skills:
- Listening

Other skills/experiences:
- Once build a canoe made out of concrete, and yes it stayed afloat ;)

- Lots of volunteerwork in refugeecamps at Lesbos, Greece
- Volunteerwork at different kind of farms (cow/sheep)
- Taking care of myself, I live on my own but share the kitchen with three others and like to keep things clean.

More details about your skills
I really like to make, repair and fix things and work with my hands. I don't have that much experience in building but I am handy and really willing to learn. I do repair my own bike and clothes and make my own shampoo and laundry soap.
I study climate management so I have some knowledge about climate adaptation/mitigation, circular economy and energy transition. I like to organize and get things done, but at the same enjoy life as it is and see the small beautiful details.
Friends describe me as a good listener and a starter of deep conversations, but also sometimes the 'clown' of the group for good time of laughter.

I stayed three weeks at the place of Gäby and Venise and it was magical. Not only because of the stunning nature: mountains covered by snow everywhere and the fjord right in front of the farm. But also because the vibe was really good, with great conversations and the tasks were fun to do.
The first ten days I stayed alone with Venise at the farm… read more

Noor stayed with us for 4 weeks and she helped so much in the garden and the kitchen. She was very curious & open-minded and got on with everyone extremely well. She is a lovely person to be around and to do tasks with and we felt very lucky to have her with us for a month. We would welcome her back anytime. Thank you so much for all your help. :)

I stayed three weeks at Priscille her lovely house/farm. She is a really open, enthousiast and energetic person and she makes sure you feel at home right away. The work existed mostly about taking care of the animals in the morning, a little garden work and making the apartments ready to rent out.
I had some lovely walks with Boosty in the… read more
