Description

Hi there! We are Wout & Helena, a creative, playful and adventurous duo that is travelling South this winter to escape the cold :-) We like sports, nature, learning & teaching a variety of skills!

Helena (28ys), works part-time for an organisation trying to fight food waste. The other part-time is at an organic vegetable farm. She used to be a yoga teacher and massage therapist and although that is not her main occupation now, she is still passionate about it. In her free time she loves climbing some rocks (and loves taking Wout on her adventures), she is practicing acrobatics (acroyoga and silks), plays the guitar and sings, ... Helena is passionate about healthy food and loves to cook (vegan). She can prepare delicious meals. Other than that, she has a long history as a youth worker and especially in playful art education & outdoor/bushcraft education for kids. Helena speaks fluently FR, ENG, NL

Wout (31ys) is a professional circus artist. He made a show with 5000 (!) wooden blocks where he lifts and walks on towers and tries to build higher and higher (but eventually fails :-) ) The rest of his time he is freediving (he participated in the World Championship this year), he is a musician- saxophonist, he hunts (yes, hunter who is together with a vegan :o) , enjoys working in the garden, doing some work-outs, ... etc. Wout is a master in juggling and has a wide variety of weird skills :p Before switching to circus full time, Wout was an engineer in computer sciences, and has worked in ICT. Wout also used to climb and do parkour, but hey, you cannot do everything in life, ... Wout speaks ENG, NL, and has a good level of FR.


What can we offer? For work/ for fun
- We can do cooking, gardening, helping around
- We would love to do some climbing and be in the neighbourhood of some nice rocks - even better if we can help with bolting, in canyons - although we have never bolted before
- We can look after kids , teach english/dutch/french
- Helena can teach yoga/ massage / breathwork
- Wout can teach circus skills / excercises to work-out
- We can play music together
- We love playing board games
- and much much more :-)

Looking forward to meet new people and cultures!
PS: the pictures on the account are still Helena's pictures, we are updating them :)
