Beschreibung
We are a couple travelling the world by bicycle and helping others with their projects as we go. Having spent our youth working we are now taking our gap years in our fifties. We're looking for volunteer work, where we can use our skills and experience and learn more about local life. We are passionate about the outdoors, renovating old buildings and ecological projects. We have worked in nature conservation, building projects, outdoor education and retail. We love living and working with others and have found this greatly enriches our travelling experience. We are honest, hardworking, diligent, committed and thoughtful people who are happy to have a go at most things. We enjoy passing our skills on to others and learning new stuff ourselves. We love finding out about different cultures and want to improve our language skills.
We have worked on several building renovation projects, and on small holdings and farms. At home, we grow our own fruit and vegetables, mostly organically, and we enjoy home cooking including baking and making jams and chutneys.
We are flexible and are able to work both on our own initiative and under instruction. We love cycling, walking, and sailing, as well as reading in our quieter moments.

Johanna et Jerry : quel couple de bénévoles merveilleux !

We had an amazing time with Alla and Ragnar and their family. They are warm, caring people who opened their home and hearts to us.

We had a very enjoyable stay with Stefano. He was very attentive to our nutritional needs inspite of being incapacitated by his very badly injured thumb. He loves cooking and treated us to a very wide range of Italian culinary delights. We liked the challenge of constructing the caravan shelter, and also loved discovering some of his garden… read more

Jeremy and Johanna have been very, very good guests here.
They were supposed to help me on building a shelter for the caravan, in the end they alone did all the work.
This was because, shortly after their arrival, when making firewood, I amputated my right thumb - since this moment on, I became much more a load than an help, given that every… read more

She has an enormous project and we were privileged to help her out with getting the bathroom, kitchen and guest room completed. Lots of… read more
