Description
My name is Ann, and I'm a movie reviewer and critic. My husband Iban is a visual artist. After many years of caring for our little cat family, among which our last 21-year-old cat Fuchi, who passed away in the summer of 2024, we felt it was time for a change. Although we live in Belgium, we spend most of our time slow-traveling southern Europe, combining workaways, house-sitting and traditional (paid) stays. Our goal is to eventually settle somewhere in the sunny south, and our travels are a way to explore the possibilities.
We left for our trip in March 2025, and since then we've done a workaway and a house-sit in France, and a workaway in Spain, where we stayed for almost five months, although we had initially planned to stay only two.
Since we are able to work on the road and have no children or pets to take care of, we can be very flexible. As a couple we are used to work together; we know each other's strengths and weaknesses, and we complement each other.

More details about your skills
We can help with computer work, social media management, and website maintenance. I (Ann) enjoy cooking and can prepare meals.
If you're interested in learning various visual arts techniques, Iban would be happy to share his expertise. As a film writer, I love discussing movies and would enjoy engaging in conversations about cinema (since I work as a digital nomad, having an internet connection is important for me to regularly send my articles to my editorial team).
We also are very fond of animals and would gladly take on their care. Due to minor back issues, we are unable to do heavy construction work, but we’re eager to help in other ways.
