Description
I love to be in nature and to be outside. I like learning new things and exploring. Currently I'm exploring how to do life differently and enjoy finding people or communities that live a more rustic lifestyle in nature.

The things that bring me happiness are freedom and having interesting conversations with people about life.

More details about your skills
I've done plenty of weeding and gardening and really enjoy learning about that. I've got some basic building skills from DIY projects, nothing too fancy.

I'm a quick learner and open to new experiences. When I was on workaway in Canada, I started working as a bike mechanic. I really liked it and now it is my current job back home in the Netherlands. This has made me a lot better in working with my hands.

I had a wonderful time with Tammy! I got to sleep in a tree tent which was an amazing, rustic experience; you can hear what all the animals are up to at night. We worked on some renovations on the house and I really enjoyed working and spending time together.

Luke is a very chill guy, Little River is a very chill little town and Dream is the cutest dog ever. Luke is clear about what he expects from you and he'll leave you with something to do while he's at work. If you don't have a car you will not be stuck, there is great hiking accessible from the backyard and it's a nice little walk into town with a… read more

Leah is an excellent host! She communicates clear what she expects from you, has great recommendations about what to do in the area (and the South Island in general) and has a very warm heart. We shared great conversations (Leah is very worldly) and I got to come with to some activities. There was enough work to be done, but nothing back breaking.… read more

Wies is a delightful Workawayer who embraces the ethics of the exchange. She arrived when expected and was a willing and obliging guest. We had wonderful conversations, putting the world to rights. We worked through a list of tasks, and Wies could turn her hand to anything from weeding gardens to hammering in nails. We cycled to an exercise class… read more

Thank you Lori and Stephen for your hospitality and generosity, I felt very welcome in your home. They've shown me around the area, I came with to community and friends' gatherings, yoga classes, you name it. It was lovely to see the east coast of Nova Scotia and meet the people that live there.
