Travel information

We are currently

Description

I like to work outside or move in the nature.
We are living off-grid and try to recycle materials. Gardening and self-sufficiency are our main purposes. We cultivate our own vegetables and own a lot of fruit trees.
We are still working regularly but retirement is on its way and therefore we want to check if we will be able to live in another country. We want to do short periods of helping somewhere on a farm or restoring projects.
My husband is an agricultural engineer but is working as an organic shop owner. He has a lot of experience in farming and all the upcoming works there.

When I was younger I travelled some months by bike and visited a lot of Asian countries. Today I also travel mainly by bike but I have to be content with an annual vacation.

More details about your skills

We are living off-grid in Germany for 11 years now. That means we use rain water and solar energy for our daily life. We work constantly on improvements and like to get new ideas. We know how to use energy conciously and how to create solutions.
Our handcraft skills are not perfect but we know how to use tools and how to bring the lights to shine. We have a lot of experience in gardening.
We like to experiment with all the harvest from the garden into new recipes.
