  Description

  Update march 2025
  
  Hello dear Workawayers.
  We are Chantal (31), Ate (41) and Sproet (1.5, dog child). We live in the east of the Netherlands in a calm neighborhood between meadows and farms.
  
  We are looking for a Workawayer, to help us to prepare for our own adventures. We have just quit our jobs and are going to sell the house. We want to travel whith two pony's and carriage to and through France by may. For how long? We will see, we have all the time of the world...
  
  We need help with taking care of/walking Sproet, cooking meals and household tasks.
  Also tidying the garden and move the chicken coop and some other tasks.
  
  Sproet is a young and energetic dog. He likes to climb on you for cuddles and kisses. It is very important that a workawayer really loves and enjoys the company of dogs.
  
  We can only host 1 person a time. Interested? Just sent us a message!
  
  Another reason to invite a Workawayer, is to have fun together. Doing things together is much more fun then do it alone.
  
  We (also Sproet) are sentiative, warm and open. We like to play boardgames, go to the forest with Sproet, dancing, yoga, meditation and being creative.
  
  We want that people feel comfortable to be them selves. We very much value honesty.
  
  Our dream is to live in a community with like minded people. Keywords: being yourself, trive with others, sharing, nature.

  Chantal is very good in expressing herself and give others space to do that as wel. She is also an animal expert, especially horses and dogs, and find wisdom in the core of nature. She can “infect” you with her joyfull being and loves to be “infected” by other people and their passions and inspirations.
  
  Ate worked as a gardener with people with a disability. He can share some of his knowledge and his soft, calm and save being.
  
  Sproet (the dog) is a gentle, cuddly and joyful being and shows everyone what love is. He also mirrors our internal state
