    Description

    We dream of starting a meaningful new life in the wild Cape mountains, where bears and wolves live and which are home to the largest areas of primeval forest in Europe.
    We are looking for like-minded, kind people who would like to contribute their individual skills.

    Romania is a great, completely underestimated country with a large German-speaking population with an old “native” culture. Northern Romania is super safe and economically on the rise. That's not the only reason why we felt right at home there, but also because of the good coffee offered by our neighbors (Dutch expats) and the friendliness and openness of the locals.

    Who we are and what we offer:
    Michel and I (Elisabeth) have two children (Hermine is 4 and Ivar 2). We lived in Hamburg (Germany) and were
    self-employed and entrepreneurs in the non-profit sector for a long time. Michel was a professional parkour runner and Elisabeth Yoga and Fitness coach. We know what it means to realize projects together and that it also brings many challenges. But we also know that indescribable high feeling when you master things as a team and create something great out of nothing.

    In recent years, we have realized that capitalism, being an entrepreneur and being forced to become the servant of money does not make us happy. That's why we want to start a new life.

    If you want to set off with us, then you can live with us on a board and lodging basis. That means: breakfast, lunch, dinner and camping. We ourselves have a yurt and a four-wheel drive camping car, which you can of course also use.
    Sounds good? Please message us.

    Thanks for reading - we wish you all the best!
    Michel & Elisabeth
