More details about your skills
Dan is a certified electrician but really doesn't shy away from any building projects from plastering, bricklaying and plumbing to tiling and roofing. He's done it all and loves becoming more knowledgeable about all of it. One of his favourite things is fault-finding and he is very persistent when it comes to finding a solution. He's recently discovered his love for gardening and growing his own food. Together we have transformed a piece of land into a cozy vegetable garden, using mainly recycled materials. Karin loves lending a helping hand in Dan's endeavors, while providing him with some nutritious plant-based food. Although she is a certified translator, she's spent most of her working years in hospitality at hotel and hostel front desks or the food and beverage department in multiple countries. We're both very passionate about travelling and animals and would love to gather more insights in caring for them as petsitters or at a sanctuary. We won't work on any farms where animals are seen as products as this does not align with our values.

What else ...
Dan is into Formular One, snowboarding and cycling. Karin loves reading, cycling or going for walks. We both enjoy game nights and being outdoors. We don't smoke, don't drink alcohol and are not into partying.
We live and travel in our van Ichi, which we prefer staying in during our workaway stays if there's level ground to park it.
