Travel information

We are currently

Description

40 years ago we started traveling by back-pack and traveled a year through Asia, after that Venuzuela, Chili, Falkland islands, Cuba and the sailing in the Caribbean.
Nowadays we are concentrating on traveling Europe by our fifth self-build camper.
We are more the adventurous type, loving to get to know other cultures and people.

For more than 10 years we had our own farm at Ouddorp/ NL. Karin loves gardening and nature, Andre has a lot of alround technical experience in electrics, plumbing, building or constructing houses/campers/boats.

We are both nature lovers and enthousiastic sailers. During summertime we are at home, sailing on our catamaran (Nacra F16) or doing sailing trips with friends on our traditional sailing boat.

In wintertime (September till April) we are traveling with our camper in Europe to meet people and get to know new areas.
