    Beschreibung

    We want to cover the outside walls of our home with a wooden skeleton and straw bales. There is a lot work to do, building, cooking. Experience is not really necessary, but we appreciate it if you have some experience in working outside ,a good pair of hands and a willing mind. You will work together with other workawayers so being a team player is needed.

    We are a Belgian family of 7, our sons are 26, 23, 18 ,17 years and 14 years. The two oldest boys are living on there own already. We are living on the countryside. We bought our house after returning from almost 4 years of living in South-Africa , where we volunteered for a Belgian NGO. Our family is growing so we need to expand .We chose the most ecological and budget-friendly option.
    We want to exchange our culture and experiences with new people from all around the world. We had a wonderful time with workawayers in the last past years.
    Have a look at our Facebook and Instagram page -ask me for the link.
    You find a lot of photos on our project.

    After a good day of work, have some wine or a beer, and discuss life and the world. We traveled a lot ourselves, the best moments were the moments we stayed with families and close to local people. It broadened our view on the world.
    This is an opportunity for travelers that are interested in building with straw and clay first hand! Manual building techniques. We take turns cooking, so we can experience dishes from all around the world :) You are welcome in our family, and we can exchange a lot.
