Description

We are Jonathan & Eline, 35 and 30years old, and let’s not forget our
2,5 year old dog Brida. She’s a mix border colli/labrador. And to be honest, she’s the apple of our eye. We put a lot of work in training her. We bring her everywhere and she's really used to being around other people and animals.
In 2022 we got married after being together for five years. We were living in the same city but we actually met on a mountaintop in Austria where we fell in love amidst of nature and mountains. Jonathan is an energetic force of nature. He loves all kinds of sports and exploring the world. His love for adventure brought him to Kanchenjunga Nepal trekking for several months. We loved discovering our own country. We went hiking and wildcamping a lot in the ‘Ardennes’, an area in Belgium close to France and Luxembourg. Austria is the country where we have travelled to the most, we love the mountains, hiking, the hüttes, klettersteigen and so much more. Where Jonathan is an energetic and outgoing person Eline is a bit more calm, but only a bit. She also loves being in nature in all its forms. Hiking, running, swimming in an ice cold lake, camping or just reading a book. We both have been working in the social sector till May 2023. Jonathan worked for an organisation that works with youngsters and young adults, there he gave workshops and trainings about self-empowerment and resilience. Using methods including sports, breathwork and therapy. Eline worked as a social worker in a psychiatric hospital. After we've quit our jobs in May 2023 we've renovated our old-timer campervan (an mercedes MB100 from 92'), since the end of june 2023 we live permanently in our cosy house on wheels. The idea is to live free, learn about the true basics of life and nature, be inspired by the lives of others. We travel and look for different kinds of places to stay, learn or work for a while.

We both love being in nature and outdoors. Exploring, learning, discovering. And this very simple but all-encompassing feeling is what has driven us to decide that we want to stop the way we where living and follow that feeling. We choose to be open to all kinds of work that has a connection with nature and humanity because while discovering another country and way of living we also want to learn more. It’s not just a holiday or a flight from our current situation. It goes beyond that, we want to discover more about ourselves and the way we want to live our lives. We want to actively form our future and not just let time and our dreams pass by in the comfort of everyday life, the life that we are accustomed and used to.
