Description

Hello and welcome to my profile!
I am a person who loves to travel, see the world and be healthy and mind-conscious.
Back home in the Netherlands I was educated and worked as a social worker but after volunteering in Nepal for 5 months, the wide world and travel are calling to me.
I also trained as a Life-coach, but I specialized in ADHD and ADD.
However, after I got my certificates my itch to travel did not go away.
So I traveled to Indonesia for 8 months(September 2018 - May 2019) to a deserted island helping to build a sustainable community and homeschool an 8 and 12-year-old, which was an amazing experience, here I also practiced raw food eating.
After that, I traveled to New Zealand to help a kid with ADHD and do other odd jobs.
Now I am have been doing workaway for the last few years.

I am no carpenter but I know my way around most tools and helped renovate some houses for a few years so I can help renovate or help in building projects.
Some things that people need to be aware of is that I do not follow any-one religion and I am also vegetarian, also I will come with my car, and I don't mind using it for odd jobs.
Overall I am a very open-minded person and I am open to a lot of different lifestyles and experiences.

If you want to know anything else, don't hesitate to ask!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

- Coaching.
I have a coaching certificate(life coach and NLP) but I am now more specialized in ADHD.
- Renovating.
I have done many odd jobs in renovation and helped renovate an old farm for the last 2 years during corona. I am no real handyman but I can do most basic things.
- sustainable living.
I have some experience in this as I helped set up a self-sufficient island in Indonesia.
this included making paths in the jungle, building shelters, and planting a food forest.
childcare- I was educated as a social worker, and have done quite a few childcare/aupair jobs over the years.
If you would like I could get you in contact with a reference.
- Driver's license.
Never had a accident, and I do not mind driving if you need me to!

There are many more smaller things that might be applicable but I am not sure if I should list them.

Hidde bowled me over with his willingness to help! He left so many small and not so small adjustments to our tiny eco-home, I think of him with gratitude. He was everywhere, eyes open, curious, thoughtful, methodical and effective. As an elderly not used to such attention, we found ourselves ocasionally at odds. And that's okay.

I had a truly great experience staying with Ken, I even returned for a second time. The private space and bathroom were comfortable, and the food was always satisfying.
Ken made sure I had everything I needed. We shared some fun trips to local fleamarkets and achieved a lot in the garden, which was the main project. I appreciated being able to … read more

Hidde was a guest for a few weeks this spring. He hit the ground running ... showing his capabilities in all that he does. He takes pride in getting out in the sun and achieving some ambitious goals. He made a noticable difference in the garden. We also worked together over a week to repair a small roof that was in need of love. Capable, … read more

I can't even explain how much Hidde's time with us has helped us - he's back for 3 months now we had our first baby, and we couldn't think of anyone better to step in and help out at this challenging time. His strong points:
- kind and gentle with children - I 100% trust him with my baby, and I struggle at times to trust people with her!
- calm … read more

Hidde joined us as our first workaway helper in Hoinkhausen - thank you once again for all your help and company.

I enjoyed my stay a lot and extended it to two months.
There are loads of projects that need to be done and since I liked building and fixing stuff we made good progress renovating a small stone shed.
