Hi, we are Ole and Joana. We are an international (Dutch - German) couple and are currently taking a gap year to travel full time. We are open for most projects and destinations in Europe. We'll just see where we end up :) Our interests are hiking, exploring nature and cities, being around children and animals, cooking and trying new food, getting in cultural exchange and building or keeping a sustainable environment.
We hope to archive the following from our travel year:
- experiencing different cultures
- getting inspired by other lifestyles
- living like an indigenous person and not travelling like a tourist
- exploring many new places
- connecting with nature
- learning new skills widening our knowledge
- meeting new people and connecting with themInterests
