Description

Hi everyone! We are Bo and Tom and we've been together for 13 years. Bo graduated in psychology and worked 4 years in a project for homeless people with an addiction and mental problems. After that she worked with minors with varies mental health problems. Tom graduated as a care giver but after a couple of years in that field, he went for his true passion and started as a self employed gardener.
We're an enthousiastic couple looking for adventure and new experiences. That’s why we temporary quit our jobs to go travelling in South- America for 6 months. We're both nature persons who love the beauty and peace of woods, forests and mountains. We’re always in for a good hike, some fishing and hanging out with good company.

More details about your skills

To start, we value good food and a clean place to live, so cooking and cleaning isn't a problem. We are both good with people and have good communicating and organizational skills. We like being creative and think outside the box. In our spare time we love taking care of our plants and trees and doing some small DIY projects around the house. We like being busy, working hard and relaxing after.

It was a great pleasure to have Bo and Tom with us. They contributed a lot to our most needed tasks in the garden, and the trees appreciated it also (mainly olives and molle trees), but also gave a lot of love to our animals and pets.

Bo and Tom broke the mould where it comes to the workaday experience. Bags of initiative, tons of energy and a professionalism that made them irresistible. Their work hard play hard ethic fitted perfectly to life on the Quinta. Life is simply fun around these characters and without a doubt we look forward to meeting them again somewhere! It was … read more

For example we painted and fixed the chicken house, cleared the … read more

It was a great pleasure to host Bo. She worked so well with a little team of volunteers who were helping me to build a wild boar proof fence, not the most exciting work, but nevertheless she tackled it with enthusiasm and obviously got some satisfaction in knowing those little devils were kept on the outside of my vegetable garden! I am sure she … read more
