Description
Hi there! In 2024 I bought a typical dutch house next to the National Park of The Netherlands (Veluwe). I work as an architect and am renovating the house in the weekends. The help I need is in general household and quotidian tasks like cooking cleaning and garden maintenance. It is by the way my private home where I live alone so we will be housemates.
Would love to host 2 friends but you can also come alone of course but just that you know; I work 4 days a week in Arnhem during office hours so you’ll be alone then but I have a big family and lot of friends who visit me so always people visiting me so now and then. Love to exchange language, culture and recipes. I have travelled around the world and also worked a lot via workaway. So I have tons of experience to share and know how to be a chill host :-)

We stayed at Elza’s for two weeks and honestly wish we could’ve stayed longer! It was a great heartwarming experience, Elza is a lovely and friendly person, we had lots of great conversations on any chosen subject, we felt really comfortable there.
Regarding the work it was also quite likable, we had a great and fun time while gaining experience… read more

Staying and working with Elza was a wonderful experience! Elza was enthusiastic, kind and made us feel very welcomed and at home. We learnt lots while helping on the renovation of her home. Elza gave us lots of great tips for exploring the surrounding areas. Highly recommend!

Elza
Where to start, my first WorkAway and what a good start.
Elza Met me at the station with bike in tow, she proceeds to balance my suitcase on her bicycle, we walk to her lovely little house. What a very quick walker, I have to run to keep up.
Elza has so much energy and a zest for life, designing her own house, using sustainable products… read more

I spent approximately eight remarkable days at Elza's. From the moment we met we clicked, and it was as if I had known Elza for a long while. Elza is by nature a very caring, open and open-minded, amicable, articulate, and energetic person. Despite arriving to her place late at night Elza still made time to come and collect me from the train stop.… read more As a consequence of her easy-going nature she initiated our first conversation--beside the ones conducted remotely, where even then she was extremely warm and helpful. During the journey to her place we began getting better acquainted with ourselves, naturally, with her performing a balancing act stabilising one of my luggage whilst pushing her bike along, a memory that will always bring a smile to my face. She was my first Workaway host in the Netherlands and from her I gained better and first-hand insights into the Dutch culture and history. Elza was very conversational and involved from the start, she spoke from experience and shared a great deal of wisdom and knowledge with me.

Within one day we had already explored the neighbouring towns and Arnhem via bicycle, during which she was very engaging sharing travel tips, historical stories and timelines of the area and buildings with me. We visited many a wonderful streets, several shops and natural/ecological sites en-route to various destinations. I enjoyed cycling through the natural park or area dominated by the IJssel river, and also along the road that borders the Veluwe national park as one heads into the town of Velp. Honestly, with the amount of things done I felt as though I had achieved so much in the days spent with Elza.

As a budding architect it was a dream-come-true to hear back from Elza when I first contacted her, and believe me she responded in record time. Indeed, she went over and beyond what I expected for in addition to further enlightening me on the culture of our trade, she introduced me to her architect friends, amongst other friends and family members. Moreover, I relished being informed of the history of her new house and its former occupants besides being shown her new architectural plan drawings for her dwelling, informed of the reasoning behind these ambitions as well as involved in the planning process where my thoughts and suggestions were appreciated. Work was flexible and immensely enjoyable. Elza tailored her approach to my strengths and desires and made things really fun for me. Further, she answered my questions, explained things to me well, and encouraged me to think out of the box, step beyond the unknown, take agency and dare myself--in a sensible way of course. I appreciate the experiences one gained whilst with her, from removing tiles in the kitchen, to gaining knowledge of how electricity works to building een kippenhok (a chicken stall), fixing a toilet, or at least trying, amongst other things. There were many interesting concepts related to our field and to life that we discussed whilst at her home or on the move, as well as several valuable personal projects and interesting books that she brought to my attention. She was also humble to remark that she learned so much from me when in fact I feel that I learned more from her than the other way around. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect for me was the level of trust she had in that she would allow me to stay home alone, doing work or not, and thus giving me responsibility for her house, thus proving the extent of hospitality I experienced whilst with her. Elza was very encouraging and more like a big sister who is responsible and spontaneous at the same time.

In all, this write-up does not do enough justice to nor does it fully summarise the wonderful moments shared with Elza whilst staying with her. I do hope that my account serves enough to encourage many travellers to give Elza a go, you won't be disappointed. The saying 'where does time go' is very apt in this case for how it flew so fast. One advice for Elza when we hopefully meet again: Spreek Nederlands alleen met mij!

Meeting and living with Elza was like seeing an old friend after a long time.We clicked right away. She is an amazing woman and an architect with brilliant mind. Her energy and enthusiasm is on another level and everyone who meets her will be sharing her optimistic and positive attitude. Living with her and two other girls (also Workaway) I… read more
