Description

We are David and Ymke, a couple of 25-year-olds from the Netherlands. Our shared love for nature has made us leave our city life behind in pursuit of a more sustainable life. Our dream? To live in a close-knit community, harmoniously intertwined with nature, cultivating our own food and nurturing biodiversity.

We've left our jobs and the keys of our house, packed our bags, and embarked on a journey of a lifetime through Central America. Our mission: to immerse ourselves in diverse cultures, gain new insights on sustainable living, develop ourselves and equip ourselves with valuable skills and life lessons.

Through Workaway, we aim to connect with individuals living the life we aspire to. We're eager to learn from your experiences and share our skills to contribute positively to nature. Our hearts are set on this path, and we're thrilled to join forces with you! Whether it's tending to gardens, building eco-friendly structures, or supporting biodiversity initiatives, we're ready to get our hands dirty for a greener future.

If you're seeking enthusiastic, nature-loving, and quick-to-learn volunteers, we might be a good match!

Let's make the world a greener, more sustainable place together.

Excited and ready,

David and Ymke 🌱🌏
