About me

I am currently a nurse student in the Netherlands. I chose this study mainly because I want to help people and it would be pretty neat to help people as a profession. I am also very interested to learn about the human body, diseases and cures. I was born and raised on Aruba where our first language is papiamento, I came in the netherlands to study. I live in an apartment with two friends and two cats. In my free time I like to play video games and hang out with friends or read a nice fantasy book. I also really like cooking, mostly vegan cooking. I would like to learn more about gardening and maybe a little farming. Besides that I would like to travel as much as I can in my lifetime. And learn about cultures and people and languages. I am also really into hiking and nature.

Preferred location

I would like to travel mainly in Europe because I can afford it. But I am also very interested to travel to Asia and South America when I have the money.

Skills

I am currently a nurse student, this is my first year and I don't have much experience. I am very good in helping around in the house, I can cook and clean. Although I must warn you that I am a vegetarian. I can speak Papiamento, Dutch, English and little bit of Spanish. Anyway I am unfortunately not very experienced in gardening and farming but I am a fast learner. After all I'm doing this to gain experience and to learn. I am able to do administrative work if it is needed. I can work with Microsoft Words and Excel. I am also able to babysit and petsit if it is needed.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, don't have a drivers license, I am a vegetarian and I have no allergies.
