****Note: Thank you for your messages, our plans are complete!****

Hi there, we're Lennart & Marinette, world citizens who met through this platform!. We are travelling together while becoming fluent in French (Len) and a french teacher (Marine) 🥐

We have been loving the people we meet and the good we can do. Now we are enjoying the magic that is life together. We enjoy a good team and are proud to add to the good vibe in it. Having a good laugh, deep conversations and fun is what we want just as much as working for something worthwhile. We're open, friendly and dependable 🤝

Lennart is becoming more fluent in french, likes to connect and enthuse people he meets and did all kinds of different jobs though the years. He is enthusiastic in helping and making the world a better place both for this generation and the next ones to come. A gentleman and also goofy at times, truly an inspiring man ! ☺️

Marine is becoming a French (as a foreign/second language) teacher and is already an English teacher and kitchen aid.
She dances, sings, draws, writes.. An artist who lives life authenticly. She is too good for this world, truly a wonderfull human being 💃

Lennart&Marinette's 3 weeks stay was very pleasant ! Foremost, they are a lovely couple and good company. Lennart is quick in learning , an infatigable worker, it was a pleasure to work together on the springtime cleaning and brushcutting of our premises. We can do a lot ourselves but at our age the extra reach and muscle of Lennart… read more

Lennart came to help us out sawing, splitting and stacking wood for our woodburner in the dogsroom. He proved to be a hard working down to earth guy being able to work together with Olaf but also able to prune the willows by himself. He clearly enjoys the work and when work is done he is pleasant company to have around. Lennart was patient with… read more

I had the pleasure to start of the new year with Olaf, Hanneke and their rescue dogs! We fillled a short week with fireplace stories, delicious meals, and fun outside woodwork. We had long talks about the dogs, the rescue work, plans for the farm, holidays and anything else that sparked the interest. Olaf introduced me to his passions for whisky,… read more

I stayed with Bert for two weeks in late Summer '24 and will definitely be coming back to visit! You might just meet me there. Bert has beautified his place to a large extend already, and had all kinds of interesting projects for me to take on. But first and foremost, I tru-ly enjoyed him and his friends who he invited during my stay. As well as… read more

Better late than never!
Lennart lives with us for several weeks. He is an extroverted and fun-loving person. He gave his best in the daily tasks and the kids liked him very much. Lennart loves the community life and is fully present in the family! We have had many good times with him! Maybe we will see you again?

With the family their friends and friends' friends, I had a time I will simply never forget. Yes, they are a sheep farming and cheese producing family on the slopes of the Swiss alps, but that does not describe the warmth, enormous hospitality, or any of the people there.

With snow covered forest and frozen lakes around, I enjoyed the drives with Hans Olaf & Michael to their farm, talking about sustainability with deer crossing the slippery road along the way. Hans can share his farming knowledge with you, and if you are capable and interested give you opportunities to learn the Nordic farmer's life!

Katja and Phillip invited me on short notice as a last-minute host. I did not expect such a culturally packed experience in less than two weeks' time!

Lennart is a very kind hearted and hardworking person.
He likes to do great jobs that will change the place for the better and is always ready to help in any manner possible.
When he starts a work he will not spot until its finished.
I must say that his stay here was really good and everyone here in the farm will miss him!

Each day with Dirk and Christine was a day filled with new activities.
