Descripción
Bonjour!
My name is Marijn and I'm a wandering dreamer from the Netherlands. I enjoy living my simple life in a campervan and working along the way.
I'm very much interested in learning more about permaculture gardening, sustainable living and building techniques. One day maybe I'll settle down somewhere to build my own little cottage and during my travels I'd like to figure out how, what and where.
I love exploring nature and exchanging culture. In my free time I like to go hiking, cycling, swimming, play board games, make hummus, listen to music, occasionally do some hoop dance or yoga, read books or just sit around drinking tea and doing nothing. I very much enjoy meeting other people, having good conversations and laughing about funny jokes. Although I also like to have some quiet time and be alone sometimes.

Que habilidades tienes?
I have some experience with gardening (still a beginner though), renovating and taking care of animals: sheep, dogs, goats, donkeys, horses, pigs, cats, chickens, ducks. These skills I acquired through Workaway and WWOOF projects mostly and I would like to further develop them.
Recently I built my first chicken bedroom from leftover wood. I enjoyed this introduction to woodwork and I would be happy to further develop this skill. Using a hammer feels empowering, both in the muscles and in the mind.
I also have experience in writing, cleaning, customer support and hospitality.

Eric is a genius who is able to create a paradise with abandoned objects and materials. Magali is a wizard in the kitchen and great at teaching French.

Danny and I have spent 4 memorable weeks at Eline’s place! Especially the sheep are more than worth the visit. I was lucky enough to meet them in full dreadlock style, but I also got the chance to assist the sheepshearer. Naked the sheep look kind of funny, though without all the hair their faces have a lot more expression and you can see that… read more

It was very nice to have Marijn here. She did clean up a lot in the 5 weeks she was here,
and every part she cleaned was very “spic and span”. My kitchen in particular had not seen a cloth for a long time and I enjoy it every day.

It has been lovely having Marijn stay with us, she has a lovely laugh and liked joining in with day to day activities. Marijn is a hard worker and is able to work independently. We enjoyed having Marijn stay with us and she is welcome to return. We wish her well with her future travels.

Marijn stayed with us for over 3 weeks. It was more than a Win/Win situation. Marijn used her initiative, willing to tackle any job, any time with great enthusiasm at all times. A pleasure to host and know she will be a great asset to any other host. All the best Marijn!

Oh no, I want to rate a lot of smileys, but I can only chose 4! Everything Liad & Lisa promise in their description is true and even better. I had an amazing time there!! The warmth of the hostel and the magic of the area had an extremely relaxing effect on me which almost made me forget to leave. Thank you very much and hope to see you again! :)
