Description
Hello!
We are 2 friends from Germany who quit our office jobs in Mai 2022 to travel and face new challenges. We are looking forward to many new experiences, people, animals, landscapes and to get to know new perspectives and ways of seeing things.
We have been friends for about 6 years, got to know each other through work and we are united by our attitude to life, our love of nature, our sense of humor, of course shared experiences and vacations and the realization that we do not have to postpone our dreams anymore.
PS We are both fully vaccinated.
*****
My name is Lisa, 27 years old from the idyllic Sauerland, Germany.
I grew up here in a village with 800 inhabitants. With a height of 1,85 m volleyball is one of my hobbies.
Besides other sports activities like hiking, mountain biking and jogging, animals are my biggest passion. I myself always had animals rabbits, guinea pigs, cats. I rode horses for years and also have experience with difficult animals that were tormented or neglected. So the choice of profession was not difficult for me, I am a trained veterinary nurse for large and small animals. Working with/in the dirt or manure is therefore not a problem for me at all, I rather enjoy it. I then completed an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk.
I also enjoy working with children. I have always enjoyed taking care of children of different ages from different families in the village.
My family consists of my parents and two brothers. I am the "sandwich child" 😉 Also, we are a very big family with many nephews and cousins, we all get along very well.
I am a very open person and now I am looking forward to the adventure of getting to know the world, its people and different cultures!😁
*****
My name is Isabelle, 31 years old, also from the german area called "Sauerland"
After 1 year of travelling the world, in Europe together with Lisa in a tiny van and after that by myself to Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and California I am back home. I started my own business and my services are projectmanagement and consulting.
My hobbies are hiking, swimming, yoga, stand-up paddling, kajaking, photography (somethimes with my cute mini drone) and painting. I also love to cook and bake and am always happy to eat international food.
Overall, I am a communicative person.
I like to try new things (living with nuns, Thai boxing, etc.) and look forward to learning lots of new things and working with people and animals.
