Jesper (33) comes from a city called Næstved, situated an hour from Copenhagen, Denmark. He worked there for 4 years as department manager for a large warehouse. He really enjoys seeing new places, exploring the unknown and observe and live the traditional lives of the natives, in their respective countries. He also likes learning languages, and reckons that the best way to do so, is to travel, hearing and speaking it yourself. That is why he traveled around Italy and spend a year there to learn the language. In his sparetime, he always played a lot of sports, in particular football, which he has played almost his whole life. He also passes time watching movies, reading books, relaxing and spending time with friends. During the lockdown he taught himself to draw and play a little bit of basic guitar.

Aïscha (34) comes from Groningen, a small city in the north of the Netherlands. She has a Bachelor of music degree, is a singer songwriter & performer and worked internationally as a volunteer manager and event manager for cultural and music festivals. She has worked in several restaurants, hotels and hostels and she enjoys welcoming travelers and telling them the ins- and outs of the place where she resides. She has done a fair amount of volunteer work, especially related to indigenous cultures. Like Jesper, she also likes to learn languages, she learned Danish while working as an au pair at a Danish family. She loves the outdoors and seeks adrenalin rushes in outdoor sports like hiking, surfing and kayaking. After having kids she dove into postpartum care since our society lacks immensely in this aspect. So she studied to become a certified postpartum herbalist, masseuse and caretaker. Currently she is on maternity leave, but normally works in tourism.

Alaka'i (2) is an adventurous, easy going and social little boy. He loves music, reading and climbing. He understands Danish, Dutch, English and Bahasa Indonesia. We would love to stay at a place where he can practice speaking Dutch, Indonesian, Norwegian or Swedish but are open to any other language for him to be immersed into.

Keala (8months) is a very easy baby that is flexible and used to traveling and new faces and environments, since we started traveling with her since she was 4 weeks old. We can easily do work with her wrapped on our back.

Was noch ...

'Hands on' couple! Hard-working, dutiful, punctual, and willing to learn new things. Not afraid to do a dirty job! And we love dogs!

We are very well adjusted to remote and outdoor circumstances as a family. Our kids have traveled since they were only 4 weeks old. We raise our kids according to Scandinavian outdoor standards, "Der findes ikke dårligt vejr, kun forkerte klæ'r". So we are always prepared for any circumstances to be outdoors.
We're very minimalistic and have lived in a van, yurt and multiple tiny spaces and teach our kids how to maneuver around things like a woodstove. We actually only need the bare minimum. Our kids are very well behaved and great with animals.
We're taking this year to spend more time with our kids and teach them about nature, animals and connecting with people from a young

We are excited to work at places where they can use our existing skills and where we can learn new skills! And are very eager to exchange cultures!
