  • Description

    Hello,
    I will try to give you a short impression of who I am and what I've been up to the last few years:
    Until the age of 17 I lead a very disciplined life studying contemporary dance in Rotterdam, but because of ongoing knee injuries I had to give that up all together, after which I left Holland to go and travel, with an idea to go and live in a commune in the South of Spain, which I did, but after several months it was time to move on. Many beautiful trips followed.

    The past few years I've been studying permaculture and ancestral living skills in as many ways I can think of. I´m a very practical person, not too much of a talker, but so far I've very much enjoyed being with the people I got to meet by using Workaway.
    Feel free to ask me anything :D
