  • Description

    My name is Hans, a retired gardener and social worker. In my life I have done many nice things. Lived for 3 years in Davos, Switserland. Beside of my job as social therapist for young adults with astma problems I was a ski teacher. After the Swiss period I was tourleader for advenurous travels in the Sahara-Tunesia, Maroc and Sumatra Indonesia. Then 3 years as an international health worker, repatriate Dutch people with acute psychiatric syndrome back to Holland.Then three years teacher at a school for tourism. Then starting up (2007) a farm stay camping in the High Pyrenees Mountains in France, named tamtamlodge. (there are still some pictures on google) A wonderfull time, living isolated with my animals - 2 horses, 2 donkeys, 35 sheep, 14 goats, cats and dogs and the wild animals in the forest. In summertime entertain my guests with nature trails, cooking and try to be a good host. In wintertime try to survive in the sometimes exreme climate. Because of the fact that my 2 young daughters had difficulties with the French system at school they went back to Holland. 2 years later I followed them because we missed each other too much. To keep in contact with the nature I started up in 2011 my own gardeners company and 20 hours a week working again as a social therapist. Februari 2025 I started to travel with my 4x4 old campervan through Maroc. 29 december I entered Mauretania on the way to.....? ..till Iike it.
    In the meantime let me do some workaway, just not to get lazy and first of all, meeting new people. See you soon !!
