Description
Hi there! My name is Simone and I'm a 27-year-old woman from The Netherlands. In September last year I decided to take a break from my career in the Music Industry to travel through volunteering full-time.

I had been working in music for over 7 years and really loved working in the arts, but as somebody who deeply loves nature, meeting new people, and gaining new experiences, I felt it was time to take a break from the 9-5 life and experience the nature of the world and meet all kinds of different people. After an absolutely beautiful first experience with Workaway, I was inspired to achieve this by quitting my job to travel to various Workaway locations for a while. I can't wait to see what my next adventure will be (:

When I am not working or spending time with people, I love to spend time with the arts or the outdoors. I appreciate just being present in the beauty of nature and doing nothing but admire it, but I also really love outdoor sports like hiking, rock climbing, and scuba diving. I am most in my zone when I am sculpting (clay, ceramics), love to read and write, and am always excited to explore new ways of creative expression.

I really look forward to experience different types of work during my upcoming Workaways. I love learning new skills, but some of my existing ones include gardening, cleaning and organizing (I have a good eye for the details), working with children, and (online) marketing. I also love any type of DIY project. I buy my furniture and clothes second-hand and love to shape them to my vision, and am always the first friend people call when they're moving house and need a helping hand for heavy lifting, painting, hanging lamps, etc.

But mostly, I am looking forward to meeting new people and discovering new places and ways of life. If you read my profile and think we could be a match, please don't hesitate to reach out! I am planning on traveling for a while, so would love to welcome any experience that feels right (:

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
After having travelled to mostly permaculture communities in nature, I have gained a lot of skills in gardening and some in carpentry. Even before traveling I used to volunteer at a community garden and I always had a house filled with plants, so I have green fingers for sure.

I am pretty practical and am good with "DIY" type tasks. I’m experienced with a bunch of different (power) tools and am good at finding creative solutions to fix things. I can build things like shelves or a table, paint walls, hang a lamp, fix a bike, anything like that. And even if I haven't done it yet, I will figure out how to do it independently.

I can sew, am good at art/beautifying projects, and have organized a sculpting workshop where I prepared the clay from the soil and carved all tools from bamboo at a previous Workaway.

I have an education in Communications and Marketing, as well as over 7 years of experience working in Marketing. So if you have a business you need more visibility on, I could help you out.

And lastly, I am fluent in Dutch and English.

I had a great time at this Workaway!

Two weeks were too short to spend on this beautiful property surrounded by absolutely wonderful people, the hosts as well as the other volunteers. We shared many amazing moments together, during our free time as well as during work hours. In the volunteer house, which is a super nice and comfortable house, we… read more

Simone was an amazing volunteer during her stay with us. Even though she worked remotely for part of the day, it was completely smooth – she was always reliable and got everything done. She completed every task we asked of her with care and dedication, always ready to help whenever needed.

Beyond her great work, Simone is a sweet, kind person… read more

I had an amazing time here. I was lucky to come at a time when Rodrigo was working on multiple projects. I got to help with the creation of a short film, which were some full and intense but also very fun and beautiful days shared with an amazing crew. I also helped Rodrigo edit a documentary which was very enjoyable. Rodrigo is an amazing host… read more

I had a lot of fun building the foundation of Ray's house with him. Ray is a very welcoming and lovely host who likes to spend time together and has a lot of stories to tell. I'm very thankful to him for taking me to some beautiful waterfalls and trail nearby (:

Simone was a fantastic volunteer who helped build the foundation of an ecological cottage with great energy and joy. Always smiling and ready to work hard, she embraced the experience fully. She loved the waterfalls, the hike to Pico dos Marins, and connected with my artist friend and his stories. A kind, curious, and inspiring presence. She will… read more

Staying at Elisa and Claudia’s home was a special experience. Nestled in the mountains near Lugano, their home is full of warmth, creativity, and life. Every morning begins with stunning views, and every day is shaped by good food, meaningful connection, and a sense of purpose. The work was varied and enjoyable—as long as you’re attentive and… read more

Palmas is a very interesting person with a big heart for nature, people, the world in general really. He really makes sure you get a good experience of the area, local culture, and ensures you’ll have a great time.

Despite the rainy days, Simone's stay here was very rewarding. We planted more than 25 fruit trees in just one morning. She was always proactive and willing to do any type of work. She cut the grass with a heavy-duty brushcutter, cleaned the house and took great care of the garden. During the few moments without rain, we went trekking to a… read more

Simone is a very special person. She is very intelligent, with a lot of physical strength but delicate at the same time, she has a lot of knowledge which makes her a versatile person.

Diogo is a great host. He’s very sociable, has a really positive and light energy, and a big passion for his project, permaculture and sharing knowledge on the subject. So you’ll be able to learn a lot, and should take the opportunity to do so! He’s also one of those hosts who is genuinely… read more

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Simone. Over 130 lavender were planted with much care across 4 terraces and she completely understood why and what we wanted to achieve. On a couple of wet days she tackled a deep clean of our stone stairs and a section of terrcotta tiles with enthusiasm. The tiles were scrubbed with multiple water changes and the… read more

I felt Simone really fell in love with this place in a tender way, and it made me very happy to see that. She is a very calm, level headed person, with a lot of quiet qualities, but also with plenty of will and want to laugh with others, and spend long deep moments with people and make a connection. I like her mixture of down to earth, efficient,… read more

What can I say! I had some amazing weeks at this Workaway. Some of the longest 5-6 weeks of my life really, in the best way. Surrounded by the beautiful Italian Alps and at a distance from civilization, I’ve felt so free and able to actually experience life. For a moment it didn’t just flash away before my eyes.

This is a beautiful place, and if… read more

This was Simone's first WorkaWay experience, and she could not have been more helpful and enjoyable.

The weather was ugly hot, so to beat the heat she was willing to start work a few days at 7:00a.m. Others days she just braved the heat to sand and tape-for-painting the metal cabin of the new boat. Not only that, but she is one of the best… read more
