Description
Hey there,
We're a family of four: Matthias (37), Martina (39), Marlies (5), and Magdalena (22 months) and live in a small village in Lower Bavaria, close to the Bavarian Forest and the beautiful town of Passau.
We love traveling a lot and also worked in various countries, including Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia in the past.
Now we want to show our two kids the beauty of traveling and the joy of meeting new people.
We started our 6 month family trip in February. Currently we are in Greece. We are planning to stay the coming months in Turkey. Later in the year we plan an visiting Bulgaria, Albania and Montenegro.
We'd love to connect with families and communities where we can contribute, exchange ideas and where our kids can make friends too and play together.
We're happy to help out with all kinds of tasks like household chores, childcare, gardening, construction work. Matthias is an electrician and could support with electrical work (including photovoltaic) and repairing devices and equipment, too.
What else....
We value
- tolerance and respect for people, different cultures and nature
- repairing, reusing and repurposing things rather than throwing them away
- being part of communities and helping each other out
- living sustainable
- learning from others and embracing new experiences
We enjoy being in the nature, hand crafts, painting, yoga, printing, cooking, fermentation.... -
