Description
Hi there! My name is Simone and I'm a 26-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 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 specifically love building with wood and bamboo. I can build 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.

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
