Description

Hi, I'm Helga, a 45-year-old woman from Belgium.

After spending almost 14 years in the same company, I've decided to take a step back before starting the next chapter of my professional life. Rather than rushing into something new, I want to give myself the gift of time – time to slow down, learn, connect with people and experience life from a different perspective.

I'm an open-minded, curious and positive person. I enjoy meaningful conversations, discovering local cultures and learning from people with different backgrounds. I love sharing meals, being outdoors, exploring nature and simply appreciating the small moments of everyday life.

For me, travelling should not about ticking countries off a bucket list. It's about feeling connected to a place: wandering through local markets, learning family recipes, sharing stories over dinner and experiencing what daily life is really like. However with the family this is not always the case - we want to see as much as we want from a specific country. Now I am looking for an experience where I can make memories which are about the people I've met along the way more than famous landmarks I visited.

One of the reasons I'm joining Worldpackers is that I don't just want to visit a country—I hope to become, even if only for a short while, part of a community. I would be happy to help with welcoming guests, cooking, administration, helping at schools or other community work or any other light tasks where I can contribute. I have some back issues, so I'm looking for opportunities that don't involve heavy physical work, but I'm always happy to help where I can.

People who know me would probably describe me as reliable, warm, respectful and genuinely interested in others. I enjoy working together, but I also appreciate quiet moments with a good book, a cup of coffee or a beautiful view.

If my stay leaves both of us feeling that we've learned something from each other, shared a few laughs and maybe even become friends, then I will consider it a great success.

I look forward to meeting you and becoming a small part of your story, while you become part of mine.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Throughout my professional career, I have worked for almost 14 years in a large international company, where I developed strong organizational, communication and problem-solving skills. I'm reliable, proactive and used to taking responsibility and working independently.

While I'm not a professional in hospitality, I genuinely enjoy making people feel welcome. I would be happy to help with welcoming guests, preparing breakfast, organizing small tasks, administration, answering emails, improving the guest experience, helping at schools or other social projects.

I am also interested in the local cuisine. I'd be delighted to help in the kitchen, cook together or share recipes from Belgium.

I'm fluent in Dutch and English and enjoy meeting people from different cultures. Friends and colleagues describe me as calm, approachable and easy to work with. I like being part of a team but can also work independently when needed.

Because of some back issues, I'm looking for opportunities that involve light to moderate tasks rather than heavy physical work. I'm always happy to contribute wherever I can and I'm a quick learner when it comes to new tasks.

Above all, I bring a positive attitude, curiosity and genuine enthusiasm to become part of your daily life and contribute in a meaningful way.
