Description

Hello everyone! We are Alex and Philipp, a couple from the beautiful student city of Bonn, Germany and we do love to travel in a unique and fun way. We live in a crazy ecological community here with 17 people and are extroverted, crazy earthlings. Apart from travelling, connecting to people around the world and working together motivates us to try new things everyday.
We live in the former capital of Germany and in the birthplace of Beethoven, so we are strongly influenced by music. Not just classical music of course (eventhough that´s Philipps favourite genre), but we are always open to explore new, never-heard music from a variety of cultures.
I, Alex, study literatures and musicology and won´t stop singing or playing the piano. No matter if it´s with a singing group, a band, or with friends, I share my love for making music with everyone I meet.
Since two years I had studying and working exchange years, in Poland and Portugal, which helped me figuring out myself and how to be agile in new circumstances. I feel like I can work from wherever I want, and I want to work everywhere!
My creativity does not stop there. Since the pandemic I tried painting for the first time and now I am in the flow of creating something beautiful on canvas everyday, I just can´t stop, If I have a possibility to share my creativity, I would use that to paint and explore artistically.
But my passion will never be as great as it is for animals. I lived with 3 dogs at once for some time and this was a really warming experience. I walked them, I fed them, but never stopped petting them. Sooo, if there is a chance to care for Your dog(s), I would love to work with You. -Alex

Hey, my name´s Philipp, I´m 25 and I study agricultural sciences. I love hiking in the nature and enjoying special moments with nice people. Although I'm studying, I would rather like to do more practical work and be far away from my laptop. In my free time I like to go out for a run and do some sport activities with friends. In my family we always have dogs around (Dachshund, Poodle and Terriers) and I love playing with them.
For us two it's really important to support each other and our community, have great memories and embrace the freedom of the possibilities of our relationship.

More details about my language interests
I, Alex, am interested in languages and study on differen languages (German, English and Russian), so I know how they function on the base. I would also love to become a polyglot some day and speak 5-7 languagues. Even if i fail at the beginning I dont mind, I always love to try and create a sentence somehow with 4 words I know. Since youth I teach my friends about what I know and since my year in Poland I started teaching German to my international friends, So I figured out the best method to do it. It brings me fun to see someone understanding my instructions and be able to talk with my help. Right now I volunteer as a translator for ukrainian refugees with my russian.

More details about your skills

Weather we work in a garden to plant food or clean the house and care for dogs, we have a lot of different working experiences and can adapt easliy. We both worked as waiters/waitress, serving beers at a bar or doing clerical activities.
Me, Alex, particularly liked to care for children. I volunteered in Bonn in a refugee home and there I planned fun activities to make a more interesting time for children from 1-10 years old.
Philipp is good with practical stuff and likes to fix things in the house or at the bycicle and knows how to use various tools.

What else ...

We have this certain urge to see more places. For us as explorers, having a routine is boring, there is allways so much more to see and experience. This website helps us finding more sustainable ways of traveling and showing our compassion for the world and make a smile on more people´s faces.
