Description
Hey you, nice to meet you :)

We (Bas & Nic, 33 years old) are traveling Europe with our 32 year old camper van and love to explore as many countries as possible. We stopped our life in Cologne (Germany), in order to find a new place and a new life, that will look very different from our old one. We plan to buy some land (wherever it feels good) and start a community project, where we can offer different things like Yoga, Massage, workshops, work in nature, connecting with people etc.

The reason why we are on workaway is to find like-minded people, who already dared to do this step and built their own place. So we really hope to help you supporting your project and in return get some insights and tipps, on how this life could actually look like.. We can't wait to meet you!

We are both very caring and warmhearted people, love nature, animals, good air, clean food, authentic connections, laughter, physical work and freedom.

I (Nic) work as a Yoga teacher, massage therapist and space holder for workshops. I already worked in so many different jobs (a lot of office jobs as well), but this is my passion. I'm always happy to share my skills.

I (Bas) work in the sustainability sector (lately for the government) and love to expend my knowledge here. Currently I do my masters in this field and love to apply my knowledge to our future project.

We really hope, to be a great addition to your place and be of good help! Hopefully we meet one day and maybe sooner than later ;)

Warm regards,
Bas & Nic

What to say!

Those 2 guys came as workaway and they left one week later as really good friends and human being with who we definitely want to share more time in the future.
We felt really good with both of them straight away, they propose such good initiative such as sharing circle which help us all to express our feeling, intention and organize… read more

Pierre and Lea are a wonderful couple. We stayed there for a week and it couldn't have been a nicer and really wonderful week! We were welcomed very warmly and immediately felt a click with both of them. The place where they live is wonderful and so quiet and right in nature. There is a lot to do and we could choose our own projects and also the… read more time when to work and how long. We helped them creating a new terrace and built some nice stairs in the garden. This place really gives you the opportunity to become creative and work physically, and also find peace and comfort.

Some mornings we meditated with Pierre and Lea, which was a wonderful start of the day. Also communication and feedback was very warm and welcoming with them. We did not go there to work for strangers, but ended up having a wonderful time with new friends. We spend more time with Pierre, since Lea had to go work some days. It gave us the opportunity to experience both: spending time just with Pierre, just with Lea and also both of them. It was the perfect combination.

Pierre is a very, very inspirational, humble, interesting and funny character, who always has a great story, that leaves you wondering, how much one person can experience in such a short amount of lifetime!! We learned a lot from him. Not just his stories, his sharings, his broad knowledge of beekeeping (very interesting!!) but also of his way of being. He clearly has a lot to do and big responsibilty. To the same time you never have the feeling, that he is stressed or exhausted. He always took time for us to connect, to chat, to sing, play drums, or whatever. He invited us to come play at his weekly volleyball team , what we did - and reaaally enjoyed!! We also had the wonderful chance to visit one of his friends during the weekend and spend a crazy and inspirational evening there. We already miss you a lot <3

Spending time with Lea was also really wonderful! We exchanged a perfect massage session and had a lot of time to sing, talk and connect. We also learned a lot from her and found a new friend! Thank you so much for every minute.

Last but not least: Torro - the cat! Let's keep it short: We loved her <3

Maybe also always important: The food. What can we say.. There was plenty!! And very high quality (all bio). We could take as much food as we wanted and never had the feeling of taking too much. They really oped their home and hearts to us and made us feel like living there for years already.

If you have the chance to spend time with Lea and Pierre, don't miss it!! You will not just learn a lot about nature, bee keeping, meditation, life lessons, but also find a beautiful space to connect with nature and yourself, and end up finding new friends and spend the best time possible!

We thank you so, so much for everything and will for sure visit you one day (at least once!!) to see, how everything turned out.

Big, big hug and all the best to you <3
Love

We stayed for about two weeks at Paola's wonderful farm. I have to admit that I am sad for days already, that I left her magical place. So much love, so much freedom, so much learning!! I miss it every day.

I had the honour to teach yoga for the whole time I have stayed there, which was a wonderful and giving experience for me. The work after… read more
