Description
Hi, I'm Petra – a 57-year-old nomad living in my motorhome
After many years of working regular jobs just to pay the bills, I’ve finally chosen a different path: one of freedom, nature, and meaningful connections. I’m no longer looking for money – I’m looking for real experiences, good people, and work that makes me happy, even if it’s unpaid.
I love being outdoors, surrounded by animals and nature. I'm practical, positive, and enjoy simple things: walking with my dogs, helping out on small projects, or just lending a hand where needed.
I'm traveling slowly, living full-time in my van, and I'm happy to exchange a few hours of help each day for a safe and peaceful place to park my home – and ideally some time with animals, gardens, or outdoor work.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, mature, down-to-earth, and happy to help, feel free to reach out. I speak Dutch, English, a fair amount of German and some French, and I'm always open to learning.
Looking forward to meeting kind souls along the way!
Warm greetings,
Petra

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Extensive animal care experience – I’ve had my own pack of 5 huskies and have cared for ducks, chickens, pigs, and cats. I love all animals (except horses – not really my thing).
🛠️ Handy around the house – I’ve lived alone for years and can paint, wallpaper, do small DIY jobs, help with general maintenance, and gardening.
📷 Creative & digital – I’m a hobby photographer and highly skilled with Photoshop. I’m also experienced in using social media.
I added some pictures on my profile from dogs I photographed on an earlier Workaway.
🍲 Cooking & baking – I’m a decent home cook and enjoy preparing meals or baked goods.
🧹 Housekeeping – I’m tidy, independent, and happy to help keep things clean and organized.
🏥 Curious about care work – I have no experience in hospitality, but I would love to learn and am very open to training.
🧠 Eager to learn – I believe “can’t” is just a challenge. I’m always open to new experiences and believe you’re never too old to try something new.
Languages:
Fluent in Dutch and English
Conversational German
Basic French
I’m open to all kinds of opportunities where I can contribute with a good heart, a helping hand, and a curious mind.
Looking forward to connecting!
