Descripción
Hi there,
I'm Annegien, a 31 year old Dutch woman.
I'm a social worker in the Netherlands, but I recently quit my job to spend some time abroad. I want to learn Portuguese and DuoLingo wasn't doing enough for me, so what better way to learn a new language than going to the place of origin?
As a social worker I love working with people (children and adults), but the truth is that a lot of it involves writing rapports and staring at a computer screen. That's why I'm looking forward to spending more time outside in nature and working with my hands.
I love meeting new people, animals and nature.
(The dog in my picture is not travelling with me).
In my free time I enjoy hiking, working out, reading, swimming and baking. Travelling has always been a big passion of mine. During my twenties I lived abroad for multiple years in different countries.
My life has recently changed quite a bit and now I have the opportunity to travel again and let go of the 9-5 lifestyle that had started to creep in.
I'm a new Christian and my faith has given me a lot of strength to help me through a difficult season in life. It would be nice to meet like-minded people, but I also have a lot of family and friends that are non-believers. Being respectful and kind to one another is very important to me.
Over the next few months I would love to find one or multiple Workaway places where I can learn and practice Portuguese but also learn new skills and meet local people.

Que habilidades tienes?
I am a social worker and I've worked with children (day care), teenagers with behavioural issues and adults with mental disabilities.
In the past I've worked on different types of farms (fruit picking), while living overseas. I also worked in hostels/hotels doing receptionist work and housekeeping.
I have no professional experience as a carpenter or painter or anything like that, but those type of skills interest me and if someone can show me how to do it, I'd really like to learn. I recently helped my friend paint her new house and it's something that I really enjoy doing.

This was my first workaway experience and it could not have been better!
Nathan is very kind, genuine and easygoing.
The circumstances where a little tricky, which made the experience even more interesting. Let me explain: Portugal had the most extreme storm right before I got to the Quinta. There was no electricity and… read more
