Descripción

Hi! I’m Gabrielle, 23, from the Netherlands. I studied humanistic sciences — a mix of sociology, psychology, and philosophy about how people find meaning and how we can create a more humane world.

After finishing my studies, I spent five months in South Africa traveling around and working as a lodge receptionist, social media manager, and at an after-school program. That experience made me fall in love with this way of traveling — by staying and working somewhere, you get the chance to really connect with people, understand the culture you’re in, and create a sense of home wherever you are.

I now work as a social worker, supporting people experiencing homelessness with housing, finances, and personal growth. After a year and a half, I saved up enough to do what I love most — traveling! I enjoy learning new things and spending time outdoors as much as possible — hiking, mountain biking, sailing, surfing, horseback riding, you name it!

Next up: Panama, Colombia, and Peru (from January to July)! I’m excited to see what this Workaway adventure will bring — and ofcourse what I’ll be able to contribute :)

Over the past year, I took a beginner Spanish course, and I’d love to keep learning and improving while traveling. My goal is to be able to understand most Spanish and have simple conversations during my trip.

Que habilidades tienes?

I work as a social worker, supporting people experiencing homelessness with housing, finances, and personal growth. This work has taught me a lot about listening, patience, and supporting people in finding stability in their lives.

I worked in homecare, connecting elderly people who needed support with students in our neighbourhood. I also visited two elderly clients weekly to help with cleaning. Through this, I learned to clean (well!), handle administrative work, create space for people to share their stories, and connect different groups of people.

I also worked as a shop manager in a cookie shop that offers job opportunities to people who face barriers to employment, such as intellectual disabilities or lack of residence status. We were setting up an apprenticeship program, which I really enjoyed! There, I learned the basics of sales and customer service, and how to think creatively and find solutions.

I took horse riding lessons for seven years and helped at the stables for a few of those. I learned to ride, help children saddle up, assist during lessons, bring horses in and out of the meadow, and muck out stables.

I have a bit of experience as a receptionist at a lodge, where I welcomed guests, handled bookings, and helped with daily tasks around the lodge.

Photography has been one of my passions for the past six years — I love using it as a way to tell stories. I’ve taken two photography courses and know the basics of making and editing videos. I also have experience in managing social media accounts for a lodge.

But most importantly: if I don’t know how to do something yet, I’m always eager and happy to learn!
