Description

HI! My name is Elke. I'm 21 years old and currently living in Amsterdam. After high school I started working full time and did some traveling for a few years. This year I decided i's the perfect time for me to start my studies. I will attend college in september and before I do I would love to travel some more for the upcoming months.

I'm especially interested in expanding my knowledge about different cultures and learn and practice new languages. Two summers ago and the year before that I did Workaway a few times. I absolutely love to travel this way and all my Workaway experiences were so great and I learned so much. I am still in contact with some of my previous hosts and would love to have more Workaway experiences.

I would describe myself as a social introvert. I believe I'm fast learning and hard working, and a bit of an adrenaline addict:)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have been working in hospitality since I was 15 years old. I have worked in different restaurants and hostels as a bartender, barista and a server. Working in hospitality includes a lot of cleaning jobs so I would say that I have experience with cleaning as well. And I have really practiced people and communication skills in this sector. Both in Dutch and English because working in a hostel in Amsterdam meant that almost all of my colleagues where international just like the guests.

During the winter of 2022 I worked at a farm in Sicily for three months where I spend my time gardening and taking care of donkeys, goats and dogs.

In summer 2023 I worked at a permaculture farm in Northern Italy and took care of chickens and goats as well as gardening and building a shed.

When I was a bit younger I was a real horse lover and also had my own horse for a while. I spent all my free time in the barn, and even though I lost it out of my sight after high school I am still very passionate about it.
