  • Descrição

    Hi! My name is Karlijn, I am 21 years old, and from The Netherlands. After years of focusing on my law studies, I’m now looking to grow in other personal areas and reconnect with myself and nature. I have a passion for travel and I love exploring. Traveling makes me step out of my comfort zone, gives me a sense of freedom, and teaches me lessons in adaptability and self-reliance. I’m eager to break out of my bubble and explore new perspectives. I want to discover more different cultures and ways of living, away from the busy pace of life in The Netherlands. I would also like to learn new skills and gain new experiences. By traveling with Workaway, I hope to not only develop myself, but also give back to the communities and nature I interact with.

    I love to learn. In June 2024, I obtained my bachelor's degree in Law at Radboud University in Nijmegen. In addition to my bachelor's degree, I followed a faculty honors program. I followed both with great pleasure and passion. In 2023, I attended a summer school in Thessaloniki (Greece) for a few weeks with the overarching theme of international human rights in relation to women and gender. This further fueled my interest in social justice issues. I am now on a gap year to take a break from my studies. In September 2025 I want to start a master's degree in Criminal Law at the same university. However, I have a wide range of interests that extend beyond just law :)

    I am a motivated, responsible and hard worker who always wants to deliver good results. I am very eager to learn and can think creatively. I pick up new concepts quickly, and I have an analytical mindset and attention to detail. While I can be a bit reserved at first, once I open up, I become more spontaneous, and love to laugh and have fun with others. In addition, I am very sensitive and that is why I like to have deep connections with others. I also think it is important to be helpful, caring and reliable to others, and I quickly feel responsible for others. Although I have a naturally positive and optimistic outlook on life, I always have a realistic and rational approach to situations.

    Until recently, I spent a lot of my time with my rescued cat, who was my whole world. In my spare time I like to walk (preferably in nature, especially in the forest). I also try to exercise a few times a week (such as running, yin yoga, fitness or kickboxing). I often do this while enjoying music or a podcast. This helps me to calm my mind. To really relax, I enjoy watching movies and series or reading books. I also love being creative, such as drawing or painting, even though I don't do it at a high level and don't do it very often - it's more about the peace it gives me and enjoying the process :)

  • Quais são suas habilidades?

    I had a few part-time jobs during high school. I worked at an animal boarding house for 1.5 years. I have experience working with dogs and cats. The work consisted of: cleaning kennels, walking, feeding, washing and taking pictures of dogs and caring and feeding cats. It was hard work, but I found it very rewarding and wonderful. I love taking care of animals and at the moment, I occasionally babysit pets in the neighborhood. In addition, I had a cat myself until this August. I want to expand my knowledge and skills in these areas. For example, I want to learn more about animal behavior, medical animal care, and gain more experience with other animals.

    I also had a summer job as a sales employee, where I learned how to interact with customers and handle their needs. The following year, I worked as a logistics department employee, where I managed physically demanding tasks, and practiced my abilities in time planning, working efficiently and team work skills.

    In addition, I have experience working with children. I have been babysitting children in the neighborhood for 7 years, and I really enjoy spending time with them. I care about them very much.
    Furthermore, during my studies I began volunteering as a legal advisor at a children's and youth legal advice centre. I provide free legal advice to children and young people and assist them in writing a letter to the juvenile court judge. In addition, I hold consultation hours on behalf of the legal advice center in a youth custodial institution (I have a Certificate of Good Conduct for this). Finally, I give presentations in this youth custodial institution and at primary schools. After my travels, I will continue with this work.

    Last academic year I also sat on a committee for my study association and on a committee for my legal advice centre. These volunteer jobs gave me some experience in planning activities, managing social media channels and creating content for these channels.
