Description

Hi ! We are a couple of two friendly travelers in a gap year. We love nature and animals, traveling and discovering new places and people. We like to go climbing in the gym as well as in nature. We are simple and easy people, we love the little joys of life, we don't need much to find happiness and comfort. We’re vegetarian and love to cook meals from all over the world. We truly love to be on the road but wouldn’t mind staying in one place for a few weeks, finding a basic routine, connect with amazing people and animals.

Hello friends! My name is Ophelia, I am 25 years old and just graduated from university in Neurosciences (on human’s sleep) in Montréal, Canada. I moved there from Belgium 8 years ago. I have a scientific background but my freetime is dedicated to my family and friends, art, nature, climbing, meditation, yoga and dancing (like a fool in my living-room!) I had the chance to go a few times in the Himalayas in India with my family. There I got to experiment the colourfulness of another culture, the community living and spirituality. Later in life, I spent some time in ecological villages/communities and permaculture farm in Canada, France and Portugal (through other websites like this one also). There I learned how to cook on a fire, chop some wood, some skills in carpentry and gardening, I love taking care of animals. I find myself growing after going out of my confort zone.

Hi, I'm Beatrice and I'm 23 years old. I study geography and I love to meet new people and discover new ways to live, these are the moments where I feel I'm at the right place in the world.
I love to learn new skills, hear about people's stories, and to play music together. I'm used to living in communities with a lot of people from all over the world, this is truly what I love. I'm really into DIY and construction, I know how to use and take care of a lot of tools but I'm eager to learn more. My favourite kind of travel is slow, I love hiking and taking the time to meet people and stay places that matter, doing something useful and concrete with my hands, I'm also always down for laughs ;)
