Description

Hi there! I connected to workaway because I am looking to get more experience and skills in working outside and different kinds of hands-on labour on land/farms/with animals/building and renovating/growing crops/and more. And I love to meet and connect to new people!

In short: I see myself as a positive, open minded, spontaneous yet structured, social, responsible yet adventurous, curious and respectful person who loves animals, nature, sustainability, the world, playing board games, crazy dancing, and who cares very little about money or things and cares a lot about other people and leaving the world a better place.

I would love to do more hands-on work, get familiar with community-related living, and learn new skills.

Also I love to connect with all different kinds of people and very eager to learn from them! I believe with an open mind in life and towards others, you can gain a lot from life and get to extraordinary places, experiences and people. I have travelled a fair bit and learned never to judge, and always actively listen to someone else if you want to learn their story.

I grew up on the countryside in the Netherlands, I do have some experience with tools and hands-on labour but not a lot. However, I am in general a handy person and creative with coming up with solutions to challenges, and I am not shy of hard work and very eager to learn new skills :) I do have some experience with farm animals (we had dogs cats rabbits chickens and I frequently visited our neighbours to cuddle with the cows).

Also, I volunteered for a while at the animal ambulance in Amsterdam and I miss working hands-on with (wild) animals and helping them. It was super adventurous! Rescuing a bird stuck in a tree on a piece of trash with the fire department is one of my best memories.

Ask me any questions if you want to know more about me!
