Description

Hello! We are Camilla (Denmark 1984), Albert (Spain 1991) and our son Oak (December 2022).

6 years ago, we met in Greenland, where we both worked in tourism. The land and the people there opened our eyes about what this life is about. The experiences we lived there sparked a change. We started changing the way we lived, starting by quitting our jobs and moving to a small island with our 13 sled dogs.
Over the years we adopted a slower pace, longer time spent outside, reducing the amount of things we own, build true human relationships, eating whole foods and using our bodies and hands as we move on with our day. All we want is to live a human life. As a deer lives a deer's life, or a whale lives a whale's life.
Eventually we moved from Greenland to be closer to family and friends in Europe. It became difficult to live a human life. We used to be fulfilled working in the outdoor industry, but now we felt empty. Year by year, society around us feels more alien. Humans in many cities and towns are becoming more distant and scared of each other, and of all other living creatures. It is then when we packed our things (only what could fit in the car) and started joining different projects and people in Workaway. All of a sudden we could breathe human life again, and that makes us smile and think of a bright future. These projects and the people we meet there nourish us to grow into the way we want to live our life.
We have been volunteering in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Spain. In an organic vegetable farm, an eco-village, an outdoor learning center, a building festival, a yoga retreat and an off-grid community.
We have also been 2 months travelling in Thailand, doing week-long hiking trips, 1 month hiking Camino del norte. Now we are traveling with bicycles along the Atlantic coast of Portugal going from south to north with him, looking to be inspired by the people and projects we meet and bring our Nature connection courses to kids and families on our way.

What we value and focus on our workaway experiences are:
-Build genuine relationships with hosts, workawayers and other people involved.
-Contribute / meet the needs of the hosts of the project.
-Expand our practical skills for self sufficiency (farming/permaculture, building, cooking, herbalism, healing, foraging, handicrafts to name a few).
-Open our minds, be inspired, be supported and be challenged.
-Find peace and connection spiritually.
- AND sharing with the kids of the host and the kids of the community our Nature Connection courses.
If you would like to know more about us, just reach out with a message or email and we will be happy to get back to you.
