Description
Hi everyone!

We are Jolien and Cisse from Belgium. A little bit about us..

Jolien: My travel adventure started in August 2020. After obtaining a degree in social studies an in mental healthcare, I finally made my travel dream come true!

So far I solotraveled trough lots of different countries in Europe doing mainly workaway. I worked in different surf hostels, cooked for everyone on an off grid land, did some gardening, helped in a pokébowl foodtruck, helped setting up a music festival in nature and had many more wonderful experiences. Now me and Cisse are starting our travel adventure togheter.

In my free time, I love to cook and bake (mostly healthy or vegetarian dishes). I love hikes in the nature or get lost in a good book. Right now I'm being a bit creative by making jewellery with copperwire wrapping around gemstones. I’m also learning how to hoop dance, yoga and meditation and I’m always open to learn new things!

CIsse: After I also finished my degree in social studies I decided to study something more creative. That's why I chose to study carpentry and woodcraft. This study was mainly orientated on furniture but I'm very intrested in creating and exploring more of all types of carpentary.

I really love playing different sports. I play ultimate frisbee, spikeball and basketball and I'm always open to play something new. Besides that, I'm also passionate about music. In my free time I DJ, I enjoy mixing early hardstyle, hardtrance, psytrance, (house&disco) and so on.

The 2 weeks in lovely El Boya were just amazing. From the first moment we felt very very welcome by Redouane and Hajar. They did anything to make our stay as nice as possible and their home felt as our home for the 2 weeks. We worked around 5 hours starting from after breakfast untill lunch. During our stay we mostly worked on a piece of land. We… read more

We stayed for two weeks at the farm in tajoudate and we loved it. This magical place is perfect for finding some peace, calmness and to escape from the busy cities. Unfortunately there were no other workawayers during our stay, but we had the opportunity to live together with Leila, Sol and Mohammed. We had to work 5 hours a day in exchange for… read more

We stayed for 2 weeks at uli's place and we had loads of fun. It's the perfect place to discover chefchouan. The vibe at the hostel is super chilled and the work was also not hard at all. We helped out in the garden, did some varnishing, cleaned, picked Olives,.. Usually small tasks with a lot of freedom. We went to the market every week to get… read more

I was really happy to be the first workawayer on the beautiful farm. The place is magical, surrounded by nature and lovely animals. I was really free in choosing what kind of work I could do and when (the work was really easy and chill). Anthony and this place have so much to offer. The complete freedom to be yourself and explore, conversations… read more

Jolien and I spent a few days together on the Quinta. In that time she was delightfully friendly and although the tasks were not complex she did them all well and with great enthusiasm. She has a calming, grounding and intelligent nature to her that can be enjoyed from and beneficial in many areas, not only that but she was open in being willing… read more

I spend almost two weeks at this amazing place. You will live and experience the beauty of living with simple things, in the middle of the amazing nature. Shy's place feels like home from the first moment you arrive there! He makes sure you don't miss anything. I already miss the good conversations, cosy evenings, playing card games, exploring… read more

Jolien took the kitchen manager position by storm and had us spoiled for almost two weeks.
Always ready to help. Very social and positive. A great workawayer for responsible tasks.
Always open to learn and quick to adapt.

Highly recommended! :)

I stayed at the surf camp for almost a month and it was amazing. Valeria en Sergio are lovely people who make you feel at home from the first moment you meet them. They are grateful and thankful for all the work you do and there's a good balance between working and 'chilling' (or surfing of course). Expect sunset surf sessions, a lot of pastel de… read more
