Description
Who are we?
We are Joosep and Mari from Estonia. We completed our bachelor studies this year. Joosep studied gene technology and Mari studied biology specializing in ecology and botany. After finishing, we decided to take a gap year to hitchhike and explore interesting countries, hopefully meeting wonderful people and discovering extraordinary places on the way.
What can we do?
Mari is great at cooking and taking care of plants.
Joosep is good at all sorts of manual labour.
We both are fast learners and can work independently.
What are we looking for?
To experience new cultures, meet new people, see interesting places, eat good food and make great memories!
Something interesting:
Joosep's family has a non-profit organization that rebuilds and manages historical ships that sailed on Estonian inland waterways.
We both get to help out there.
Mari knows basically all the edible mushrooms in Estonia.
We both get to eat them.
