Descrição

Hola, ciao, hello, hallo, bon dia...

I'm a 37-year-old globetrotter with a life combining not only travel, but cultural work, long-term exchanges, and publications around the world related to culture, global issues and eventually, peaceful ideas to current situations, like neurodiversity, cultural preservation, and natural/sustainable healthcare. I do this mostly through photography and writing. I called Spain my home base for several years, then that was the Americas, but I am Belgian-born.

Outside of Workaway, I've helped as a volunteer in places like Brazil (helping during the night shift and during breakfast at a lodge for hikers in Bahía), but also in Nicaragua (teaching English to local families, hotels, and businesses), and in Costa Rica in a hostel.

I'm also a freelance translator and copywriter, having served hundreds of clients around the world with copy for their business and vice versa. I'm a TESOL-certified English teacher here. Languages are one of my strengths: I speak Dutch, English, and Spanish, and I'm decent in French, German, and Portuguese. I'd like to learn Italian next!

Professionally speaking, I was a social worker - youth counselor and have been working for 2.5 years in youth care in Belgium. Then I worked as an English teacher in Spain, and then I started being freelance and travelling the world while working on docu, writings, and a recently published book. I know +-50 countries and their ways of life and philosphies profoundly well and can share many stories.

Other than that, I'm passionate about good music, art and food (and good views).

Quais são suas habilidades?

Idade

37

Algo mais...

I have lots of skills (documentary production, editing, photography, animal care, social support, guidance, coaching, writing, teaching, etc...)

I have over 12 years of experience traveling deeply immersed in many different cultures, philosophies, and religions, and I've written a book about it.

I also contribute to UN publications on culture, global themes, peaceful cooperation, and so on. I am what they would call neurodivergent (so a combination of ADHD, ADD, and so on), which means sometimes I need a lot of silence, other moments I'm more sociable, depending on my social battery.

Overall, I am a very helpful person, respectful, and easy to get along with as long as I feel a sense of respect. I value good conversations, equality and altruism.
