Description

Hi there!

We are Daan and Sara from the Netherlands. We realised there's more to life than slaving away on our regular jobs. We started traveling together to jump into this new chapter of our lives.

We want to connect with new people, to share experiences and to live a real life away from the hussle and bussle. We want to see what the world has in store for us. We love to cook, learn about new cuisine and sharing this joy with friends over a good glass of wine.

Our biggest dream is to eventually start a hostel with a piece of land for permaculture, this probably won't happen in the next few years, but we are really hoping to learn as much as we can from all of you that went before us and are already killing it! We would love to hear about your experiences.

Daan: I'm a social and outgoing person. I love doing my part to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels happy and comfortable. If everyone is happy, I am happy. I like to help out wherever I can and I'll try my hardest to make you laugh in the meantime. I used to work an office job but I figured out sitting behind a desk wasn't for me, so back home I worked as a barmanager over the past year. I love the outdoors; from intense mountainbike rides to relaxing in a hammock with a good book. Some nice weather, good food and fun company is really al I need to make my day.

Sara: I'm definitely the morning person of us two, waking up early to do yoga, drink a really good cup of coffee or cacao and enjoy starting my day barefoot is pretty much how my perfect morning starts! I am loving, patient, open and I love to talk, a lot! On the other hand I really enjoy my quiet moments reading a book or just staring into the world like it's a TV. I work online for a company in the alternative medicine scene and am forever trying to learn new things! This past year I became an aryuvedic masseuse and added onto my experience as a yoga teacher by following a new course (currently at 450hrs) :).

We can't wait to share our energy, laughs, enjoy the sun and sit down by a campfire together. Hopefully we'll see you soon!

More details about your skills

We are both people persons. We like to get to know the people we interact with, preferably on a deeper level than just their names and their favourite food. Being easy to talk, loyal and trustworthy are qualities we would like to put to use while working . We feel that being at ease around and having faith in someone who is going to help you with this that or the other is important. Over the past year we've moved around a few times and we have restored our caravan. So using basic tools and working up a sweat to get something done is nothing new to us! We are
not afraid to get our hands dirtyy :)

Daniël: I have always worked in a service capacity. In a big camping goods store or the job I quit to go travel, a big car rental agency. When I promise a customer something, I make good on that promise. Having a strong social intuition makes it easy for me to figure out what people need at any given moment. Making sure everyone is happy and comfortable to the best of my abilities is something I excel at and brings me joy.

Sara: I'm a trained nurse, but my hospital days are behind me. I'm of the opinion the human body should be maintained and healed using natural ways. That's why I currently work for a company in the natural medicine space and teach yoga on the side. I have a broad set of interests surrounding health and medicine through things like medicinal plants, ayurveda and orthomolecular medicine.
