Israel View allDescription
We met six years ago while Natalie was an exchange student in Paris and we have since finished our university degrees, started our professional lives and travelled a lot together. Now we have decided to set out to travel again for a few months, to visit beautiful places and meet wonderful people while trying to have a positive impact wherever we go.
About Natalie: I have worked for the European Union for almost two years and am now taking a break from the hectic life in Brussels behind a computer screen to see something from the world. I enjoy drawing/painting, being outdoors, martial arts and other sports, reading, laughing and dancing and I love to travel whenever I'm free to get to know other cultures, mindsets and languages. I am creative, dedicated, easygoing, open-minded and love to learn and teach whatever I know. I’m also passionate about living sustainably and want to learn more about it (farming, gardening, off-grid life).
About Thomas: After having lived in a few European countries (Denmark, Belgium, UK, Italy, Austria, Germany and France) before I was 17, I studied engineering and economics. Now, I am taking a break from my job as a customer support engineer at a German startup to take advantage of my youth and good health together with Natalie to leave our comfort zone and discover the world to find the opportunity to live a happy and simple life. I am a truly international guy and I have never stopped loving travelling, getting to know new countries, people, food and learning new languages. I am warm and open-minded, I enjoy cooking, teaching, learning, sharing and smiling. I love sports (especially biking, hiking, skiing and football), building apps and websites and rising up to challenges.
But above all, what we share is our love for nature and we want to see as much of our beautiful planet as possible as long as we can: and now is the time!Interests
