My skills
I'm Merel from the Netherlands. I graduated in Graphic design, one of my internships was in Bangkok, so I'm used to be living abroad! I love to design corporate identities, packagings, patterns, illustrations and so on. I also design geometrical wooden necklaces and paint them by hand.
I also have a TEFL-certificate and teaching experience in Thailand. I taught elementary school and several English camps. I really love teaching, the brightness of the kids makes me so happy.
I have good and clear communication skills and as a Dutchie I'm always in time. I'm not afraid to ask if there's something I don't understand.

I am a very adaptable person and I learn by experience. I admire other cultures and languages, I am very easy going and open minded. I always find creative ways to solve problems and my biggest dream is to keep on travelling this beautiful globe we are living on.
About Me
I’m a creative and easy going person. I love to mix myself with the locals and become part of the local culture. I enjoy to design, draw, write, photograph, go out and explore new places. I like long walks and talks. I’m doing yoga in my free time and I like to kayak, hike, climb, something ‘’extreme’’ or outdoor.
