Descripción
After working for 105 days as a volunteer English teacher on Peace Boat, I want to continue traveling around the world doing volunteer work.
Except for being a qualified English teacher who mostly taught to adult refugees and migrants in Australia, I used to buy, renovate and sell houses as well as create (organic) vegetable gardens.
In my 20's, I learned French in France and Spanish in Spain. I studied at university in the Netherlands, since my father is Dutch, and speak therefore Dutch and German.
When my son and daughter were young , I first managed a backpacker's hostel in Darwin and later had a family daycare at home to be able to work around or with my children. In the daycare facility, I looked after babies and toddlers between 8 months and 4 years old.
I enjoy physical work and have picked fruit and done farm work in different parts of the world. I also love skiing and sailing and have been an instructor for both.
However, what I like most is exploring different cultures in a way that is helpful and has depth. I am open to all experiences and appreciate good conversations, learning about different life styles and being part of projects.

Algo más...
I consider myself a lifelong learner and am always ready for anything new you can teach me. On the other hand, I might be helpful with knowledge and skills that you can use. I love long lunches/dinners with good conversations and exotic/exciting foods and am happy to help in the kitchen to prepare them.

Overall a great atmosphere with the hosts Sivan and Joachim, other workawayers and also friends who popped in. Think of very tasty lunches and dinners under the grapevines, walking and playing with dogs, hikes to the mountains (that are not far) or taking the metro to the city, all this while having interesting conversations about just about… read more

Helping out to get the house ready for guests was such a positive experience all around. Megan, John and River, the ecovillage and what they are trying to do there are all very inspiring. From finding salad for lunch in the garden to walking around in the beautiful nature around the village, it is all enjoyable. You couldn't have a more welcoming… read more

It was a pleasure to have Edith stay on the boat. She did more work than I expected as she was quite keen to get things done. She’s up for a challenge and very friendly. I recommend her highly as a workawayer

Although this workaway could be challenging for some, since the rowing boat that needs to be used to get to the actual boat is quite heavy, this is a great experience for those who love being on the water, want to live on a boat and work with boats.
The host Elliott was extremely helpful and ready to jump in and assist whenever necessary and that… read more

What an amazing workaway this was! The host, Miss Hera, introduced me to and made me part of the community from day 1. She is very committed to and also an important part of her neighbourhood and works tirelessly to make the lives of people around her better and more interesting.

I love Edith, and my girls love you,too. Although she is older than me, she is very energetic and very patient with my children. I love that she shares many life experiences and ways of caring for children with me. She was very happy to assist me and really helped me a lot! Thank you for everything!

I had a wonderful 4 weeks with Yuru and the girls. The children are often very entertaining and Yuru made sure that we went to places that otherwise I never would have visited.
Luodong is a lively town with markets during the day and night and it is easy to travel to other places as well.
If you can cook and love small children, I definitely… read more

Thank you for sharing your beautiful place and family with me. I felt welcome and included at all times and because everyone was very happy to answer questions, I was able to gain much more insight into the Philippine history and culture.
