Germany View allDescription
We're a married couple from Canada, currently in Germany. I grew up on a farm in rural Canada and we're both from the Canadian prairies. I hold dual citizenship with Germany and we lived several years in Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, and France. I grew up with several cats and dogs and love pets - we fostered cats in Germany but haven't been settled enough to adopt a pet yet.
We're keen organic gardeners and practice permaculture and no-dig gardening. I've worked at an organic market garden for a couple of years and Graham worked in an organic plant nursery.
Graham is a musician/writer and I'm a food photographer/author and certified yoga instructor. We run a couple of recipe websites and work from home. Graham has an MSc in urban planning and I studied anthropology of food and have been teaching yoga for 10 years. We're both in our 30s and non-smokers.
