Beschreibung
hello everybody.

We are Ben (39 ) and Maayan (31), from Israel.
We met 4 years ago in a community (Kibbutz Neot Semadar in Israel where Ben grew up), which is a place that put a lot of emphasis on self observation, mutual learning, and awareness to our human patterns.
Now we finally embark on our well anticipated journey together, finding a way and place of living, that is suitable and contributing both us and others.
our first station is leipzig, germany, where we hope to establish a daily comfortable routine, relax, make new friends and relationships, and also save up some money to buy a campervan. afterwards, we will start travelling around europe.

Ben (who also holds a polish citizenship):
i am an avid rock climber and hiker, love the great outdoors, animals, woodworking, gardening, cooking, and self-sufficiency. I used to play the bass and guitar, but not so much anymore. I really enjoy learning by doing and often it is easier for me to get to know somebody or someplace by having something to do together. I like learning new languages and would always prefer to learn and speak other's native language. I have been wwoofing and workawaying in Israel, Australia, Germany and Spain, and absolutely love the volunteering idea and life. I am a vegetarian/vegan

Maayan:
I like dancing, listening to music and meeting people. I'm interested (but have only a little experience) in building, gardening and permaculture, sewing and handcrafting, cooking and baking (vegan only 😊 )
I like animals, reading, playing with toddlers, producing events and making peoples visions into reality. I am a good friend and easy going, like to experience new things with new people.

We are interested in learning more about communities and other ways of living which exist in the world. especially green and sustainable or alternative.
our dream is to one day have a small land of our own, living off the land and taking care of it in return.

I spent, together with my partner, a wonderful month with Pieter, Tinne, and their family and animals! We really enjoyed our time in their farm, the tasks we were doing just as well the free time we had. Pieter and Tinne are incredibly generous hosts and they go to length to make sure you are happy and satisfied. We did jobs like weeding, trimming… read more

Ben stayed with us for 2 1/2 weeks just in time for some really hot weather. The heat didn't slow him down though and he self-managed his workload extremely well. His quality of work was excellent.
He is a friendly, open and positive person who is a pleasure to be around, always ready to help with any task. He is also respectful and a good… read more

Ben was great. He spent a month with us here and he was the ideal 'helper', companion and indeed friend. He did all that was asked of him and more and in addition provided much of his own input. He overhauled our vegetable garden, sorted out much of the olive pruning, worked on the irrigation system and much weeding (whilst maintaining a smile)… read more

I spent an amazing month in Kay's and Bernard's home. In general, I worked in the vegetable garden, prepared the main garden for opening season, choped wood, and did any other odd jobs that were to be done. All was very calm, with no pressure, and lots of respect to one's questions, lack of knowledge or misunderstanding. Working system and hours… read more
