Chantal & Ybo

Travel information

We are currently

Description

We are Chantal and Ybo, entrepreneurs, parents of 3 great children, Dutch, but living in the mountains in Spain. We have been hosting workaway families in the last year and loved this experience. Now we have some time to travel and would love to experience workaway from the other side. To be able to help and to meet people from different cultures and learn from each other. We will travel together with our kids, Sarah (2012), Senna (2013) and Jins (2017). They love to meet and help other kids from other cultures and are used to communicate in other languages or with their hands :-).

We are positive, open minded people, interested in spirituality and other cultures. We are Dutch and grew up in the Netherlands, but Ybo and me have been living in the Dominican Republic for 4 years and now we live almost 2 years as a family in Spain. We can quite easily adapt to other circumstances and are flexible in whatever we can help with.

We speak several languages (Dutch, English, Spanish, German and Chantal understands a bit French) and love to learn (or teach) more. The kids speak Dutch, English (Sarah and Senna) and Spanish (all three).

I, Chantal, am a coach and therapist and I teach courses working on healing trauma's and other life problems. I also have some knowledge about growing vegetables and fruits since we have a vegetable garden here and quite some fruit trees. At our farm we have different animals (chickens, dogs, cats, horses, a pig, guinea pigs), so I also know how to take care of animals. Furthermore I like cooking, I'm very much into healthy food and can help with anything regarding animals, children, house hold things, etc.

Ybo is an entrepreneur having a lot of experience with many online things and he is very handy. Although our son Jins is quite small (almost 6 at the moment), he is also super handy and he is used to help Ybo with making or repairing things.
