What else ...

Darwin:

I love to do handstands and slackline!

I want to learn more about Yoga, breathwork mindfullness, self development, and also about sustainable ways of living with nature, permaculture, wood construction.

Jo:

I have lived in over 7 countries and have a lot of experience adapting to new cultures and communicating with people. I am interested in applying myself to learning new skills, particularly in gardening, design, and building, as I really enjoy working outdoors and with my hands.

So far we are in the stage of life where we want to explore the world as much as we can but also doing so slowly, so we make sure that we are surely enjoying each place and discovering the hidden magic of the people that we're surrounded by in those places.

We also share a dream of creating an off grid project in Colombia in the future, and are looking to gain skills that will help us fulfill that.
