Beschreibung

Hi! We are Grazia (26) and Oliver (27), just got married and want to travel around Canada for about a year. We´re looking forward to meeting new people, places and especially gaining lots of experience in farm work and a (more) self-sufficient and basic lifestyle.
We are currently staying with our first host in Canada.

After getting our bachelors degree at college, we have been working as social workers for a christian organisation (helping drug addicted men and overwhelmed single mothers and their children) for the past 2,5 years. We are now looking for new adventures and want to find out what kind of projects we want to invest in on a long term in the future.

Some more information about the two of us:

I (Grazia) have grown up on my parents organic farm in Italy for all of my childhood until I was 18 years old. For college I moved back to Germany, where my parents originally come from. I speak fluent german, italian, english and some basic french.
I owned two horses for 10 years.
I have always enjoyed working with my hands. I love painting, knitting, sewing and crafting in general. In the past years I became very interested in healthy nutrition, so Oliver and I started an organic garden on a little piece of land we could use and we became very passionate about it.
I also love processing food from our garden or food we find growing wild (canning, dehydrating etc.)
After a couple years of living a "normal" german life I get more and more interested in getting back to a more simple life style like the one I grew up in.

I (Oliver) love nature and I am looking forward to great outdoor adventures in Canada :)
I don´t have much experience in intercultural exchange so far, but I am a very open person and I am pretty much happy wherever I am :)
At home I spent most of my working time in the office, but I can´t wait to get away from the computer and do more practical work. I would especially like to increase my skills in carpentry (I have basic experience with different machines like chain saw ect.), beekeeping, building things, energy generation etc...

I am also studying electrical engineering online at the moment and want to complete all classes during the next months while work&travelling. I would like to gain practical experience in this area, if I get the chance to because so far it is just a lot of theory.
After our first experience with gardening I developed an enthusiasm about farm life.
I am not an expert but I am very willing and interested to learn new things.
