Description

We are Ivo ('84) and Anouk ('86). We are traveling with our four children born (Jelte ('13), Keije ('15), Taeke ('18 ) and Rinke ('20)) through Europe in an old Mercedes truck.
We start living in this truck to learn more about other country's and cultures.
I, Anouk, have been home for the children since the birth of our oldest. I like to see the children develloping and learning about ourselfs and the world together. I like to be outside to learn about and from nature. I love to work outside (with my hands on plants and in the earth). I'm herbalist, so I know some things about herbs, which to eat and how they can effect your health and how to use them furthermore. I like to create things by hand, like sewing, knitting, drawing and I like to write.
I, Ivo, have more than 15 years experience as Financial/Consultant/manager in different types of branches (profit (Horticulture, automotive) and non-profit (Semi goverment, insurance). I love sports, played football over 20 years and at the moment I'm running a few times a week. All kind of sports I like to watch and try by myself. Last half year we are building the inside of the expeditiontruck and therefor we rebuild a lot in our house. I like to be outside and are very curious for new things. I'm not afraid to start new tasks and love to learn new skills or share my skills.

Our children are four individuals with there own interrests. Our oldest son loves mathemetics, basketball, gaming, listening and reading books. Our second son loves nature and animals and can build everything he imagine. Our third son is very energetic and active all day. He's smart en love to learn and do new stuff. Our youngest daugther greatest wish is to fly on a real unicorn and tries to keep up with her three older brothers.

We, all six of us, would like to take part in social projects, help and learn in (biological/permaculture) farming, experience eco-communes and practice langueses.
