Description

Hi there! :)

I studied biology at Wageningen University & Research. I took a gap year and have decided to stop studying for now. I traveled to Madagascar and Spain to do some volunteer work for a couple of months. I met amazing people, lived more off grid in beautiful nature and helped out with many different things (agroforestry, research, teaching, eco-construction, gardening and more). I also got my diving certificate, which amplified my love for the ocean and marine life. I connected with who I am and who I want to be.

These experiences made my urge to give my contribution and help out even bigger. I really want to give back to the communities and nature I interact with. I'm eager to explore new perspectives and gain an understanding of everything and everyone around me. I am driven by a desire to learn. My main interests are nature, biology, ecology, wildlife, biodiversity, taxonomy and conservation. I have some skills and knowledge in these fields that I acquired during my study and travels, but am excited to learn so much more! I am also interested in learning about social aspects such as different cultures, religions, languages, activities and music.

Staying busy and working hard, brings me energy. When committing to something, it gets my full dedication. I love helping out, any way I can. I'm easy going by nature and make friends and connections easily. I have a lot of energy and positivity to share with others. As a kind and positive person, I think it is important to make others smile and feel at ease. Whether it is offering a hug, some advice or simply being a listening ear; I’m always there to support others. I really value respect and kindness towards everything and everyone around me.

Some things that bring me joy include being in and learning about nature and taking care of animals and plants. I really enjoy going on hikes and exploring new places. Spending my time with others, also makes me happy. I love playing (card) games and sharing activities together. Additionally, spending my time listening to music, reading, making different types of crafts and researching topics gives me energy.

I'm looking forward to meeting you!!

Lots of love,
Marinthe :)

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I would love to improve my Spanish, French and German!! But I would also love to learn other languages, like I have been learning a little bit of Malagasy. I have some experience with teaching English during my volunteer work in Madagascar and would like to teach English and/or Dutch.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have some experience with eco-construction, sharpening tools, different methods of planting (trees) and different gardening and reusing skills.
I have a driver's license and an open water diving certificate.
I studied biology and finished my first year cum laude. I'm a curious person and I'm eager to learn and improve. I'm analytical and a fast learner. Besides that I'm a really dedicated person. When I start or do something, I go all the way. On top of that; I really like a challenge.
I also value honesty and communication, so I am open to criticism and improvements and will ask questions where I need.
I've had different jobs; in cafés, a chocolate shop, and restaurant in a zoo, but I also volunteered and worked at a pet boarding house. I'm a responsible person and love taking care of animals! I also have a dog (and now a puppy), a turtle and chickens at home. We also have a garden that I love to work in.
Besides that, I volunteered in Madagascar for 2,5 months. I learnt and experienced many things here. I helped with research on the animals, I learnt the names of all the animals on the island, helped with construction in our plant nursery, helped with our agroforest and I taught English to my class of amazing students :)
I'm fluent in Dutch and English, I know a little French and German and I want to learn Spanish.
