Description
My name is Roxanne (Rox/Roxy) and I travel often, and LOVE using Workaway.

I graduated for my study journalism and worked in a hospital as a medical assistant (surgical/orthopedic department) for eight year. I quit my job in 2015 to see the beautiful places in the world. Life is too short to work work work, complain and not see anything at all. I came back in Nehterlands in august 2017, so you can say I love traveling :) I travelled all over Asia, Australia, Europe and the Caribbean. I worked in between and had a 6 months contract at a cruise ship (fantastic experience too).

I love to combine my travels with working and to meet people who are open minded and happy to be surrounded by travellers from all over the world. To me this concept seems to be the perfect solution to travel, have the best time with locals and everyone who stays there and don't spent al your money in a short period.

At the moment I'm working @ own company called ZIPP2GO. My goals is to spice up the zip off pants! But beside that, I'd like to travel often

Roxy was great to have around. She really helped us start a very important project that we feel could really help our project that aims to go deeper into what travelers really feel, instead of just being a tourist.
She was tasked to interview travelers, volunteers and guests and she did an excellent job. She was also able to take pictures that we… read more

Perfect stop whenever you are in Palawan. I have been here for a couple of days and experienced the passion Rye has for his business. He has a lot of ideas and is willing to show you around in town with the best tips and recommendations. The place is very peaceful and today they finished the volunteer room, very cozy. I wish you all the best!

I have left the barge this morning and I am so sad that I had to leave Sam and this beautiful place (for a while☺). He is an amazing person and his enthousiasm and care for his hosts made me feel comfortable and be like home. I couldn't have a better welcome to Australia then arriving here. We had perfect conversations, a lot of fun, making music… read more
