I'll be on a three month sabbatical in Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil from half June until half September.

Descrição

I’m happiest when I feel connected — to people, to nature, to animals, and to the rhythm of daily life. Whether I’m working outside, learning new skills, helping others, or simply sharing stories over a meal, I find joy in meaningful experiences and human connection.

I come from a farming family in the Netherlands (though I didn’t grow up on a farm myself) and I’ve always felt at home in rural life and around horses (I love to ride horses too!). I’m motivated by a love for learning and contributing. That’s why I’ve often combined travel with volunteering: it’s a beautiful way to go deeper, give back, and be part of something authentic.

I also have experience in tourism — I’ve guided cycling trips through East Africa for charity and host international guests at my home through Airbnb. Creating warm, welcoming experiences for others is something I truly enjoy.

I have a positive, proactive mindset and truly enjoy making myself useful while learning about different ways of living.

Traveling is a big part of my life — I love exploring new cultures, meeting people from different backgrounds, and hearing their stories. I try to approach life with a cheerful and open attitude, and I look forward to creating new memories together, wherever I go.

That’s what brought me to Workaway: the chance to be part of something real, hands-on, and human.
