Description

We’re Pol & Diana, an international couple currently travelling with our car through Europe, eager to explore and connect with new people through meaningful, hands-on experiences. We're both open to hard work and excited to contribute wherever we can.

Pol holds a PhD in mechanical engineering and has a strong passion for fixing and building things. After years in academia, he’s looking forward to returning to manual work and is especially keen to learn new skills related to mechanics, carpentry, and maintaining a cozy and functional living space.

Diana is an experienced event manager with a deep love for animals, excellent social skills, and a warm, caring nature. She’s curious to learn more about gardening and sustainable living, and she is good with in website management and organization. Though new to manual labor, she’s enthusiastic, determined, and eager to learn. She’s also interested in yoga, wellness, and all kinds of artisanal crafts where nature and creativity come together.

We love sharing recipes from our respective cultures and enjoying good meals with new friends! Cooking and eating together is one of our favorite ways to connect. We’re looking for hosts who value skill-sharing, open exchange, and good conversation. We’d love to support your projects, learn from your experience, and bring our own energy, ideas, and hands to your place.

We’re available starting in July (2025) and are flexible about the length of stay—it can be happily discussed with the host.
